Many entrepreneurs have a deal they probably wish they didn’t make, or, perhaps worse, one that got away. And real estate pioneer and longtime “Shark Tank” investor Barbara Corcoran remembers hers clearly. She told her Instagram followers on Monday that she invested her first major profit into a “genius” idea that ended up being a total flop — and a bit ahead of its time.
“My greatest successes happened on the heels of failure,” Corcoran wrote. “The moment I made my first profit, it felt like all the long nights and rejection finally paid off. I wanted to invest it in something big that would set me apart.”
