Shark Tales
How I Turned $1,000 into a Billion Dollar Business
Corcoran turns a $1,000 loan and her mother's kitchen-table wisdom into a real estate empire, telling the story as blunt, funny business lessons.
Corcoran’s memoir-as-business-book, and the fullest telling of her improbable rise. She borrowed $1,000 from a boyfriend to start a tiny real estate agency, and over two decades built it into the Corcoran Group, which she sold for $66 million. She structures the story around the plainspoken lessons her mother taught her raising ten children in a small New Jersey house, and turns each into a rule about selling, hustle, spin and bouncing back from failure. Warm, funny and relentlessly practical, it explains the sensibility she now brings to Shark Tank.
