“Get over yourself.” In her trademark words of wisdom for every online entrepreneur, IRCE 2017 Special Guest speaker Barbara Corcoran will reveal how too much risk aversion can breed over-analysis and paralysis. Through long experience, the eminently successful “Shark Tank” investor and TV personality has come to prize perseverance when choosing which entrepreneurs deserve her financial backing. In her address, she’ll offer proof positive that for the determined online business owner, fear, rejection and failure are not simply setbacks, but also the seeds of creativity and innovation. Through her own travails and those of entrepreneurs she mentors via the hit ABC TV series, Corcoran will show how to chase change, be loose, have fun and capitalize on mistakes to forge new paths to success that might not be discovered any other way. Hear about unique strategies that her startups are deploying online and how they rebounded from the seemingly impossible, and benefit from an expert’s insight on new thinking to mine today’s online business slip-ups for tomorrow’s scores.
