Use What You’ve Got, and Other Business Lessons I Learned from My Mom

Barbara Corcoran, Bruce Littlefield · 2003

Corcoran turns her mother's homespun wisdom into street-smart business lessons, tracing her rise from waitress to real-estate mogul.

Long before Shark Tank, Corcoran built one of New York’s biggest real-estate firms out of a thousand-dollar loan. Here she credits her success less to business school than to her mother, a woman who raised ten children in a small house and had a saying for every situation. Each chapter pairs one of those lessons with a story from Corcoran’s climb, turning folk wisdom into blunt, funny, genuinely useful advice for anyone building something of their own.
