This episode is a MUST listen.
If you’ve ever felt behind, stuck, overlooked, or underpaid, you need to hit play.
This is the most motivational, eye-opening episode that you will ever hear, and it will give you the roadmap to become the bolder, braver, more confident, and richer version of yourself you know you’re meant to be.
Today, Mel is joined by Barbara Corcoran.
Barbara is one of the original Sharks on Shark Tank, a real estate mogul, and one of the most influential self-made women in business.
This episode will show you how to create an extraordinary and successful life, even if you’ve been underestimated, rejected, dumped, or doubted.
She’ll remind you it’s not too late and you’re not too old - you can reinvent your life, achieve more, and go after what you want using the playbook she shares in this episode.
Barbara was called “stupid” at school. She worked 22 different jobs before she borrowed $1,000 to start her business with her boyfriend… and then got dumped when he left her for her secretary.
But that was just the start of her story. She proves that anything is possible when you refuse to quit.
Today, she’s built a legendary career, created one of the biggest real estate companies in New York City, and sold it for millions - by refusing to let other people’s opinions define her.
In this conversation, Barbara will give you the mindset, the strategy, and the truth you need to bet on yourself when the world doubts you and when you’ve been doubting you, too.
You will learn:
-The single most valuable skill anyone who lost their job needs to hear
-Barbara's advice if you want to start a business today
-What makes a good pitch
-The most effective way to ask for a raise so you actually get one
-The difference between a boss and a leader
-How to beat self-doubt by changing the “tape” in your head
-The simple mindset shift that gets you moving again when you feel stuck
-How to turn failure into fuel
-The one trait Barbara says she’ll fire you for fast
This is a masterclass in confidence, reinvention, and motivation.
By the time it’s over, you’ll stop making excuses, stop playing small, and start moving.
