Business Television Shows give me the opportunity to view the reality of entrepreneurship from a third party perspective.<\/h3>\n

In most of these shows, entrepreneurs and\/or their businesses are screened to detect flaws and strengths. My favorite ones are The Apprentice<\/a>, Shark Tank<\/a>, Dragons’ Den<\/a>, Queen Boss<\/a> and Restaurant Startup<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I am currently really into ABC’s Shark Tank ; In case you have never heard of it, its a business TV show that involves budding entrepreneurs pitching their businesses to a panel of investors . This show is similar to Dragons’ Den, its actually a version of it.
I was really into Dragons’ Den<\/a> when i discovered Shark Tank<\/a> so It took me sometime to get into it .<\/p>\n

Here are a few things i love about the show<\/p>\n

– Investors drilling entrepreneurs about their businesses, Investors are usually able to determine the current state of a business simply by asking a few questions .<\/p>\n

– Investors poking one another, trying to bag a good deal or partake in a good business opportunity.<\/p>\n

– Entrepreneurs defending their business ideas and decisions.<\/p>\n

Here are also few lessons i have picked from the show<\/p>\n

– The importance of paying attention to essential numbers within a business ( because numbers don’t lie) – cash flow, revenue ,gross and net profit.<\/p>\n

– The value in connecting my background (personal,professional,academic…) to my business.<\/p>\n

– How do a valuation of my business.<\/p>\n

– The art of testing a product\/service as well as maximizing available resources as a bootstrapper<\/a><\/p>\n

– The importance of SWOT analysis<\/a> especially when scaling up a business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
