Just chase down a few bike rider's  at the Tour de France
for Free World Wide Advertising!

 The Clean Bottle was designed with one thing in mind, to be the easiest water bottle too clean that has ever been made. After 3 years and 54 prototypes, Dave Mayer has accomplished that goal and appropriately named His invention The Clean Bottle. What makes this water bottle so unique from anything else on the market is the fact it unscrews on both ends making it much easier to clean and dry out when not in use.

New Runner
Water Bottle w/ Pouch

Dave Meyer's may have invented the cleanest water bottle ever made, but it took all the money he had to create it with little left for advertising the final product. What's Dave do to start getting the word out about his new invention?  He does what any creative Entrepreneur would do, He creates it. Meyer's went  to the Tour de France where everyone has water bottles and has his Giant Clean Bottle Mascot start jogging along with the bike riders. This seemingly simple form of advertising gets picked up with world wide press coverage and puts the Clean Bottle on the map.

When Dave entered the Shark Tank about a year after the Tour de France, His sales had already mushroomed to over $750,000.00 and still climbing. Read More Here-->>>

Episode 421 Update

Shark Tank Season 4 Episode 421

What happened after the Shark Tank Show?

  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.

Alashe Nelson came into the Shark Tank seeking a $150k investment for a 15% stake in the VIP Business. At the time of Nelson's appearance on the Shark Tank, the Business was already successfully launched in the Miami, Florida area. EZ VIP had already grossed $250,000.00 with a  $90,000.00 net profit. Nelson prides Himself on the "Guarantee" EZ VIP has which to my knowledge, has never been broken.

The Original Profender

The Original Profender Shark Tank Update

Basketball Training Device - Season 3 - Episode 305

Demonstrating The Original Profender
Basketball Training Devise

 The Original Profender is a rather unique basketball training invention developed by Tony Divine for his son Devon. This mobile basketball training device reacts much like a professional defender closing in on his opponent before taking a shot.

Tony gets right to the point inside the Shark Tank and asks for $75,000.00 for a 15% equity stake in the Original Profender invention. Mark Cuban that knows a thing or two about basketball, gladly rolls up his sleeves and want to give The Original Profender a try. Tony already has one ready to go with a cut out of Kevin O'Leary which he calls The Original Offender. Son of a gun if Mark beats the Profender and makes a basket on his first try. Obviously Cuban must workout with the Dallas Mavericks because he was sinking them down like a real pro.

So how does professional basketball players currently run drill's when closing in on an opponent? According to Mark Cuban, the coach uses a broom to try and distract the players when shoot at the basket. There's no question The Original Profender has value on the basketball court, the real question is how big is this market?

Shark Tank Season 5

Season 5 of the Shark Tank Show

Premieres Friday September 20, 2013 on ABC

 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.

First Defense Nasal Screen
Gets Biggest Offer Ever
on the Shark Tank

 The First Defense Nasal Screen is a clever and cheaper way to protect yourself against a host of allergens, germs, pollen and pollution to name just a few. Joe Moore the inventor of this clever devise explains "you basically just peel and stick the almost invisible sticker directly on your nose hole for instant results".

Think of it almost like an air cleaner for your respiratory system that blocks out breathing allergies in the fist place

 Cool Idea Hugh? I thought so and so did the Sharks. In fact this is such a cool idea that it got a $5 million dollar offer for the entire company which set a record for the highest dollar amount ever offered on the Shark Tank Show.

 

First Defense Nasal Screen Shark Tank Recap:

Joe Moore first walked into the Shark Tank looking for a $500,000.00 investment in exchange for 10% of his Nasal Business.

Shark Tank Books

Books Written by the Sharks on the Shark Tank Show

 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?

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

Shark Tank Episode 422 - Week 22 - 4/26/2013

 Just when you think the Shark Tank Show couldn't possibly get any better, it just found a way. Due to last Fridays cancellation because of the Boston Bombing, Mark Bracco, ABC's Executive that oversees the Shark Tank, announced the Season 4 Finale on May 17th will now be a 2 Hour Special. I can hardly imagine what the contestants from last week must of gone through to come so close to one of the biggest days of their life and then find out they will have to wait another Month. It may seem like a big disappointment, and I'm sure it was, but the additional coverage of now being featured on a 2 Hour Season Finale Special will more then make up for it in the end.

This weeks brand new episode has a few very promising products that is sure to get the attention from most Sharks on the panel. If your into green naturally produced energy that will charge up your cell phone while your out fishing and you need a belt because your belly is sticking out from eating too many cupcakes, then your going to Love Episode 422.

Air Cork Wine Balloon - Season 3 - Episode 304

Eric Corti Inventoer of the
Wine Balloon / Air Cork

  The Wine Balloon which has now been re-named The Wine Cork is one cool invention that all wine connoisseurs are going to love. Eric Corti first entered the Shark Tank last year in the beginning of season 3 and in episode 304, asking for a $40,000.00 investment in exchange for 30% equity in the air cork business. Without a doubt Eric made a huge impact on the Sharks as well as many Shark Tank Fans around the country.

Lori Greiner was interested in getting this product on her QVC Show but was more interested in buying the entire company and the patent pending on the wine balloon. Lori offers Cori $500,000.00 for the entire business. Mark Cuban also sees the potential success of the wine cork and wants to go in on Lori's deal. He will even up the ante another $100k and make it an even $600k for the wine cork business which is 15 times the money Eric was originally looking for.

The offer by the Sharks almost has Eric stunned

Stella Valle Jewelry

Stella Valle on the Shark Tank

Custom Jewelry - Season 4 - Episode 423 - 4/19/2013

Ashley Jung and Paige Dellavalle
Creaters of the Stella Valle Collection

 The Stella Valle is a jewely line inspired by two West Point Cadet Army Officers and Sisters Paige Dellavalle and Ashley Jung. The two very close sister's completed their commitment to our country back in 2009 and started the Stella Valle jewelry Line to compliment the more edgier side the military usually brings out in you. Transforming back to civilion life after years in the service takes time for anyone that has gone through the proccess. Helping to bring back their feminine side, but not forget where they came from, is what the Stella Valle Jewelry Line is all about.

 Ashley and Paige also have two other sisters that are still in the military but apperantly not in the Stella Valle Business just yet as they are both still on active duty. Can you imagine having four daughters all in the military? I'm assuming atleast one of their parents was also in the military for all four girls to devote themselves to our country but there is no mention that I can find to support this. Either way, it's a great beginning for another Success Story after millions of people (and thousands of Vets) learn about the Stella Valle Jewelry Line on the Shark Tank Show.

New Episode 3-29-2013

 Great News Shark Tank Fans! After 3 weeks of reruns we have a brand new Shark Tank Show this Friday night. The other good news is the reruns are doing almost as good as the brand new episodes and kicking some major boo ta compared to the new shows on the other networks. Even Donald Trump seems to be getting a little worried about his show The Apprentice compared to the Shark Tank and has once again tried to gain a little attention by going after Mark Cuban.

Shark Tank Adds Episode 426

Shark Tank Adds Another New Episode

Brand New Episode 426

 Here's Some Very Good News Shark Tank Fans. Mark Bracco, one of ABCs Top Producers for the Shark Tank Show just announced they are adding yet another Brand New Episode to Season 4. This brings the total of 26 new episodes as the show keeps gaining ground (plus new fans) and continues with solid ratings. With so much success this year you sure have to assume the producers will consider another "preferred" night to air the Shark Tank Show for Season 5. If ABC can consistently draw a sold 6-7 million people on a Friday Night, just imagine what the ratings will be once they move to the coveted Tuesday Night Slot.

Maybe, just maybe, this will finally quiet down Donald Trump on Twitter in trying to compare the Shark Tank with the Apprentice Show. Even The Donald Himself, as hard as he keeps trying, seems to be getting a little worried that there is no comparison when comparing both Business Reality Shows. I like to watch the Apprentice, I really do. BUT I Love to watch the Shark Tank Show.

Awards they have won with the

If warned too many times, the Smart Wheel will send a text message to the parents notifying them on their kids driving habits.

 Villy Customs has a successful story to tell like no other I have have covered on the Shark Tank thus far. The owner and inventor of the Villy Customs Bicycles, Fleetwood Hicks and his best friend and mascot Deville, have been on one wild ride in the past few years.

The idea kept growing til the point you can now custom design your own bike with unlimited possibilities all from the comfort of your computer.
