Lori Greiner on entrepreneurship and preparation
In a March 2011 interview with Forbes, Shark Tank mentor, Greiner, discussed the importance of preparation in entrepreneurship. She shared insights from her book, Invent It, Sell It, Bank It!, and reflected on the lessons she learned in her career. Lori talked about her book and the importance of marketing research.
"I talk about it a lot in my book and give step by step what you should do. But in short, I believe in hitting the streets and talking to strangers to truly get an honest opinion."
Greiner shared that research is key, stating that if entrepreneurs are serious about getting a deal and it is important to them, it would be "intuitive to study," and learn everything they can about the show, the sharks, and the process. She also explained how she evaluates business ideas.
"Fortunately, I've always had very good intuition about what would work in the marketplace, but after seventeen and a half years of experience selling a large variety of products, I really know now what works and what doesn't and what has the greatest potential to be very successful."
When asked about creativity, she shared that she was always a creative person. Typically, she gets her "best ideas" when she is on an airplane. She added that airplanes were quiet, and she had time to think and focus. Lori added that she often thought about what she needed in the marketplace, and what she thought would be a great product.
