Mackkeal Mason 10 tips

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxyGeUkPYFM
This video is about methods for starting your own business. Technically, the video only gives you 9 tips because I believe if you start a business you clearly (even if it's just a little) have enough passion for starting it. I think it's interesting to have another income method, but I also find it interesting that you need a second job for the start of your business because I would hate working two jobs to only get payment from one for months at a time. I won't get a mentor, but I am willing to have a consultant to help me through the business aspect, but that, not the point it's not about me. You also need to access people before the actual start of your business which makes sense because you also would lose more money for the extra time spent after the business starting. Everyone also needs a business plan with research otherwise, it's just setting your business up to fail. Every successful business has professionals in individual fields. You don't have to master everything having a professional can make life so much easier. You also need to save up because you never know what could happen to your business.Lastly be professional its a given, but don't forget.Also follow the law its important.

Ryan Harrison shark tank blog

I think Shark Tank is better for an entrepreneur because you get more options as to who you want to work with. Some sharks have more to offer than others, but with Marcus Lemonas he only has one way to help. Out of the sharks it's hard to tell who the best one is, but I think it depends on your business and their specialties or connections related to your idea. Although, I think for my business I would choose Lemonas because he is very good at maximizing profit margins and directly pointing out the strengths and weaknesses of a business. Marcus is more of a hands on helper and investor when he decides to help your business, where as the sharks are mainly investors and help expose you to a larger market.

A big difference between The Profit and Shark Tank is that in The Profit Marcus actually comes to the company hand physically is their and helps fix your issues. In Shark Tank they give out their offers if they are down with your idea and they have you choose which offer you one right there on the spot.

I think the sharks are a better choice because they give you better resources if you work with them but on the profit he will work with you for a bit then leave so if something happens he won't be there to help but with the sharks they help during and after so they stay longer it's like having an insurance with them.

I think the best investor is Daymond John because he sells clothing and has his own line just like we and Justin are trying to do so i believe he would be the best help out of all of them. My business would be clothes of course, The sharks stay with you all the way or for a long time but with Marcus he stays for s short period of time then leaves and doesn't come back so it's like having insure if you with the sharks so yeah better option.

I think that Marcus Lemonis would be nice but i can't go with him, my reasons are that he just doesn't know his way around the fashion industry like Daymond and i would like to go with someone that has experience and an actual company than someone doesn't. Marcus wont be as lasting as Daymond cause hes only there for a short period time then dips, having connections with Daymond would be like Kanye wearing and advertising our clothes and hype beast will be all over us.

In my opinion, Shark tank would be a better format for entrepreneur because it gives you more options. Instead of having one guy (marcus) who would come in and basically uproot your whole business and taking control of your business, you have one (or more) sharks who give you money and their expertise to keep your business afloat, but they still leave most of the control with you. If I had to bring my company, ifind, on one of these shows I will pick shark tank and I would want to work with "Mr. Wonderful" Kevin O'leary. That is because he made his business on tech companies and he will have the most connections in the tech world. On shark tank, the Sharks listen to pitches by entrepreneurs and decide if they want to buy a percentage of the company. In The Profit, Marcus comes in and takes over the company and shows the owners how to run it. He also buys part of a company but he is a more hands on person while the sharks like to keep their distance.

I Believe that the better better investors would have to be the sharks on the show Shark Tank because with their investments they are able to make millions of dollars.Since their are multiple agreements and negotiations they are able to bounce off each other with ideas and prices that would make the business a success. In the show you are able to choose between 6 investors that have have lots of great achievements with business. In the show The Profit Marcus Lemonis goes to only a few places that he may think needs his help,but small businesses such as the face mask (as seen on Shark Tank)didn't have a place that they could actually call a business.He was selling out of the attic at home. If I was to choose between investors I would go with Daymond John because he has worked with the music industry.

I think the better investors are the sharks from Shark Tank because they are million dollar professional but not only do the just have money and resources but they have good business knowledge. I think that the investor that would be best for me and my company is Marcus Lemonis because his advise could really get my company off the ground and make it the next top company in America. One of the main differences between the sharks an d Marcus Lemonis is that the sharks look to make money off of businesses that have a product.

I think that Marcus Lemonis and Kevin O’Leary were the two best investors.  I think O’Leary was better for giving start-up investments, as he showed in “Shark Tank.”  To me, his investment offers were better than all the other sharks.  I think Lemonis was better at giving business advice to businesses that were going under.  He proved this in “The Profit” when he save a business that was very close to failing.  He sugarcoated nothing and faced each issue head-on rather than try to find a way to evade it all together.  Something I liked about both of them was that they were both brutally honest with their clients.  The major difference between these two investors is that one of them invests in businesses that he believe are doing alright and with his investment will do even better, whereas the other one invests in businesses that are doing poorly and he believes that he can save.

shark tank and Marcus- Mackkeal Mason

I believe that the sharks are better because the have a variety of assistance and can provide more resources that can help a new business strive to new levels of profit, I do  think that the fact they basically take a part of your company is a sad part that should be really thought about, but if you are willing to do this for better help in the end then the sharks are the ideal group.

If I had a business I would probably do something involving technology as technology is always advancing and new ideas are always welcomed. I think that no matter what I would make it would help a very large number of people by tackling a very basic inconvenience to people's lives. Since I am working with technology, I would probably work with Kevin Oleary because of his ability to market technology and his own personal history in working with technology.

The sharks seem to fund in a method of paying a certain amount for a part of a company. Marcus, however, seems to pay first for what the business needs and then asked the business to pay him back with interest rates that allow him to make a profit in the end and help a struggling business.

Shark Tank vs. Marcus Lemonis
Shark Tank is a better investor because those who want help with their business and want to make it big, have a choice from choosing 6 different sharks. Marcus Lemonis is his only individual person he can't partner up with other business people. The sharks can invest their money on an idea they like but don't have to go in to investing into the job alone they can make a business plan together with another shark. If I had my own business, which would be based off of the fashion industry my own clothing line; I would chose to partner up with Lori Greiner. I would chose her because she invests in the fashion industry, she knows what she is doing and has a fashion business herself.  

The Profit vs. Shark Tank - Justin Mallorca

The Profit vs. Shark Tank

A key difference between The Profit and Shark Tank is that Marcus Lemonis will actually visit the company and provide them hands-on help. To receive equity from the company he is helping, he offers the owners total control of the company for a certain amount of time. In the The Shark Tank, the four sharks just pitch out their offers to the entrepreneurs and lets them decide on the spot.

If I had my own business it would be a clothing line. I'm highly into streetwear fashion and enjoy the street influenced culture that comes along with each article of clothing. Creating a brand of clothing line would be phenomenal and would gear my business towards street fashion brands such as Supreme, Mint Crew, Bape, Perspectives Global etc. An investor I would work with would be Daymond John because he knows his way around the fashion industry. FUBU was the brand he created that was very successful for a decent amount of time, but as new brands surfaced FUBU would slowly die out. With his knowledge, he could tell me the do’s and don’ts of the fashion industry and provide me crucial information leading my brand.

I believe that Marcus Lemonis is a better investor because of his hands-on experience with business owners he works with. While watching The Profit, Marcus Lemonis would provide tips and tricks to the business owners he worked with. He didn’t just pitch an offer to them like the Sharks and prayed that it would work. Lemonis would actually go into the business and take total control for a certain amount of time. For example, he helped CarCash become a nation wide business. With his mindset and knowledge, I believe he is a very strong investor.

This is a sample posting for our classroom blog.  Personally, I like both Shark Tank and The Profit; I think we learn different lessons from each program and I think every student can take something away from the Sharks' way of doing business as well as that of Marcus Lemonis.  Both programs are very informative.
