Episode 421 Update

Shark Tank Season 4 Episode 421

What happened after the Shark Tank Show?

Misto Box Coffee Cluc  This is one Shark Tank Episode that will go down in the History Books as one of the most memorable episodes in all of Season 4. Kevin O'Leary steps out of His comfort zone and shows it's not always about the money while making a terrific investment helping an Entrepreneur get a Big Break on Her road to a very successful company. Mark Cuban on the other hand, helps fellow College Student's obtain an investment to further develop their Coffee of the Month Club with unique blends from around the world. Ah yes, we can't forget about the bird feeder that remotely shocks squirrels if they try eating you're bird seed. If you like 100% natural wood products as much as I do, then your going to love what this Butcher Block Company can custom make to you.

Misto Box Coffee Club Update

Samantha Meis & Conor Riley started the Misto Box Monthly Coffee Club as a project while still in college. Soon after graduation Samantha and Connor wasted little time starting a successful crowdfunding campaign raising over $9000 and getting the much needed capital to kick start their coffee business.

Within in one year almost to the day, this Kickstater Campaign led them directly to the Shark Tank where they made a deal with Mark Cuban for $75,000.00 and a third ownership in the business. Misto Box is now offering several different new services including getting a new box of coffee every other week instead of once a month. You can still try the Misto Box Service for only $5. for your first delivery.

Shark Tank Season 5

Season 5 of the Shark Tank Show

Premieres Friday September 20, 2013 on ABC
Season 5 Sharks
 Great news Shark Tank Fans! ABC has finally announced Season 5 of the Shark Tank Show will start in two months on 9/20/2013. Many people had predicted (including myself) the show would be moved this season to a more preferred time slot and a different day of the week with more potential viewers watching.

As it turns out the Shark Tank will keep it's familiar time slot @ 9 P.M. (eastern) on Friday Night's where it has dominated the rating's most of last season. I'm not sure why they would choose to keep one of their most Successful Shows on probably the worst night of the week, but then again new episodes have even made me change my plans to accommodate that time.

I would imagine having the Shark Tank air on Friday Night's instead of any other night of the week is might be that viewers have all weekend to visit the contestants websites.

Shark Tank Books

Books Written by the Sharks on the Shark Tank Show


Books written by the Shark Tank Investors  It really is amazing how reading the "right book's" can change your life forever. I can still remember when I was given my first copy of "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill, when I was only 14 years old and just won an award for a MLM company I was involved with. When I was walking off the stage, one of the highest ranking associates in the room handed me his copy of the book and simply said "I believe this belongs to you". Not really being much of a reader before that time, I must of read it cover to cover at least a dozen times until the pages started falling out.

Yes, a good book really can change your life even if it's only a single new idea that triggers something in your mind to think a little differently. That one new way of thinking that may be the very road block keeping you from where you "really" want to go. Finding a mentor in the types of books you read can pay huge dividends IF you choose to take their advise and learn what made them successful.

If your a Shark Tank Fan and love learning about the Sharks and what it took them to get to the top in their professions, then what better way too learn then reading their books. Now if your a future contestant on the Shark Tank or have any plans of doing so, then this could also be considered required reading to learn as much about your future business partner(s). It really is in your best interest to learn as much about all the Shark's as you can before going on the Show.Read More Here-->>>

Shark Tank Final Numbers Season 4

Shark Tank Facts For Season 4

How Much Did The Sharks Invest?
 
 The totals are in for Season 4 and as Kevin O'Leary would say, "The numbers do not lie". Once again Mark Cuban dominated in the Shark Tank in all three main categories including the total number of investments, the amount invested for all Sharks and the most personally invested out of their own pocket.
The biggest surprise of Season 4 was Barbara Corcoran and Lori Greiner's Shark Tank Seat they share throughout the Season. When combined, our Lady Sharks dominated all the other Sharks in new Investments. All the Sharks except one invested at least a million dollars of their own money. Robert Herjevic takes last place this year by a wide margin in just about every category, while Kevin O'Leary makes a strong finish in the season finale after writing a million dollar check that drastically helped out his entire season.

Sharks on the Shark Tank Season 4

Who's your Favorite Shark on the Shark Tank?


season 4 shark tank show
Who's Your Favorite Shark On The
Shark Tank Show?
 So who is your favorite Shark from the Shark Tank? Mine? This year's show was quite different from the other seasons and as a result my opinion may have changed changed just a bit. Right now I would have to say it's both Daymond John (He's the only Shark that Follows us on Twitter) and Lori Greiner who has been very active talking and re-tweeting about the Shark Tank Success Blog. I Do Very Much Appreciate them giving their approval for this blog. A little biased in my opinion? We'll maybe just a little :') But it's hard to argue they both have made some terrific deals this past season and every contestant that I can find that made deals with either of them, are very happy indeed.

If I was to choose who I would most like to make a deal with

Wicked Good Cupcakes In A Jar

CupCake's In A Jar on Shark Tank


Wicked Good Cupcakes in a Jar
Dani Desroches and Tracey Noonan
Inventors of the Cupcake In A Jar
Wicked Good Cup Cakes - Season 4 - Episode 422 -April 26, 2013
 The Wicked Good Cupcakes is FINALLY coming to the Shark Tank. Very few Shark Tank businesses get National attention along side already proven successful products before they are even seen on the show. The Wicked Good Cup Cakes did just that when they were first seen on "Good Morning America" back on November 1, 2012 along side the very popular Scrub Daddy and the Cousins Maine Lobster Business. We knew it was just a matter of time before we'd see the Wicked Good Cup Cakes in front of the Sharks and it looks like that time has finally arrived.

Tracey Noonan and Dani Desroches, are the mother daughter team and co-owners of the Wicked Good Cupcakes from Cohasset, MA. What started out taking a cooking class together to spend some quality time for the mother/daughter team, soon grew into a full time business that continues to gain a loyal following. Their tasty treats became so popular they needed a better way to send them in the mail and decided on the "Cupcake In A Jar" method that solved several problems and yet at the same time, became synonymous with the Wicked Good Cupcakes Brand.

Lidd Up Cooler

LiddUp Cooler  on Shark Tank

Light Up LED Cooler - Season 4 - Episode 21 - 4-5-2013
Jayson Sandberg Shark Tank Season 4, episode 421
LiddUp LED Light-up Coolers
 Now here is an invention that could easily change the multi million dollar cooler market forever. Jayson Sandberg is the inventor of the LiddUp Cooler with built-in LED lights that light up on the inside as well as the outside of the cooler. Why the large manufactures never came up with a lighting system similar to a refrigerator is a very good question, but now it's too late as Sandburg has a very tight patent on this idea. What started out as one of many camping trips soon turned to solving a problem every camper has had at one time or another. Have you ever been camping at night when you reach into the cooler expecting to pull out a beer and instead you grab a soda? Or how about holding your lantern in one hand while you dig into the cooler with the other and hope you don't break the eggs in the process? The more I keep thinking about this, the more I wonder why it took so long for someone to come up with a lighted cooler. It just makes sense that ALL coolers in the future need Jayson's LidUp LED Cooler Lighting System installed on them and he will become very rich in the process.

As good as the LiddUp Cooler idea is, it's also a very tight and competitive market with only a few major players that control most cooler sales.

Shark Tank Episode 418 - Feb 15, 2013

Shark Tank Season 4 Episode 418

Week 16 - February 15, 2013

The Smart Wheel on Season 4 episode 418 Shark Tank
Smart Wheel Inventors Meet
The President of the United States
 This weeks Shark Tank Episode is getting moved up a week as episode 417 gets pushed back until next week. Obviously this has to do with at least one business featured on episode 417 that is not quite ready for the Shark Tank Effect and needs extra time to prepare for a flood of orders that is sure to pour in. What company could possibly have that much power to override the lineup and give them an extra week to prepare? I believe I may of already found out that answer but your going to have to wait until I can confirm this and get their article up. It's a good one for sure and will be worth waiting an extra week to see how this all plays out.

Until then we have a new line up in which Kevin O'leary will make a million dollar offer on one of the companies listed below. He may of made the offer BUT did O'Leary close the deal? For Kevin to make that kind of an offer usually means he wants more equity then the contestants are willing to give up and you can be sure it comes with added stipulations to secure his financing.

Shark Tank season 4, episode 418
HDYR Sushi Owner's
Brothers Yuan and Peter Yung
 How Do You Roll Sushi Bars is coming to the Shark Tank Show with a new franchise opportunity for the Sharks to take a bite out of. Yes we all know Sharks Love fresh fish but will they like the idea of building their own sushi with brothers Yuen and Peter Yung who own HDYR Sushi franchise?

Yuen and Peter Yung started the "How Do You Roll Sushi" back in 2008 under the name MAKI when they seen a need for a better alternative to pre-made sushi that was anything but fresh and very limited on the selection. The sushi bars around Austin, Texas were also very expensive and require a Head Sushi Chef. Peter had already successfully achieved this level by the time he was 24 years old working in these same restaurants.

Scrub Daddy

Scrub Daddy on Shark Tank Show

Scratch Free Scrubber - Season 4 - Episode 403

 So how do you get the Sharks competing for your business. You invent a Scrub Daddy and continuously keep selling out on QVC three times in a row. Aaron Krause came into the Shark Tank looking for $100k for 10% of the business valuating it at a Cool Million Dollars. Sales in the first 4 months have already reached over $100k.
Shark Tank Success already had Lori Greiner pegged to make an offer on the Scratch Free ScrubDaddy as it seems a perfect fit to include in her line of products. They don't call Greiner the QVC Queen for nothing and she really wanted to add this product to her collection. We also expected another big blow up between Lori and her arch rival, Daymond John via their conversation on Twitter before the show ran. Right before the Shark Tank went to break, it was obvious

Freaker USA season 4 episode 406
Zack Craine making a memorable impression
on The Shark Tank Show
 We already knew we were in for a Show before Zach Crain made his entrance into the Shark Tank. We just didn't think he would be rolling across the carpet when he walked out to represent the Freakers USA. Can I Get A "WHOOOOP". Geese, that seems to stick in your head a little too easy. Craine, however freaked he may of seemed, it was clear that there was a marketing genius inside. He was looking for $200k for a 10% stake valuing Freaker USA as a $2 million dollar company. Crain had been in business a little over a year when episode #406 was filmed with already $320k in sales.
