The Profit on CNBC

The Profit on CNBC

First Season of The Profit

Marcus Lemonis is the Shark on CNBC The Profit

 The #1 Business Channel CNBC has come out with two different Business Reality TV Shows this season in response to the success of the Shark Tank Show. The first show Crowd Rules lasted a whopping 2 episodes before it was pulled from CNBC with rating's less than 50,000 viewers.
 The second show called The Profit, came out with much stronger ratings over 250,000 viewers but was unable to sustain those numbers after the season premiere. It has however never fallen to the dismal ratings of Crowd Rules.

Crowd Rules was a cross between a game show and the Shark Tank Show featuring 3 businesses competing for a $50,000.00 prize. After a series of voting rounds between Crowd Rules Hosts Kendra Scott and Pat Kiernan, along with 100 members of the audience, the $50k prize was awarded to only one of the three featured businesses. One company seen on the season premiere Heart Breaking Dawns, a BBQ Sauce Business, would go on to win the very first episode. While another company Mr. Green Tea would end up on both Crowd Rules and The Profit.

New Shark Tank Shark Season 5

 John Paul DeJornia is already well known around the world for his Famous Paul Mitchel Hair Products, but now he will forever be known as a ruthless Shark Tank Investor. Actually DeJornia has the reputation as a very calm person who always seems to stay in control. As with most of the Sharks on the Show, John Paul has his own rags-to-riches story starting with nothing more than a dream and turned it into a multi-billion dollar empire. DeJornia's net worth is estimated at over $4 billion dollars which makes our New Billionaire Shark one of the richest people in the world.

Having a rough childhood after being sent to a foster home because his mom could no longer afford to take care of him, John Paul soon became a gang member in L.A. Fortunately his Math Teacher was able to chance his entire direction when he said "DeJornia would never succeed at anything in life". That single moment did change John Paul's life when he became more determined than ever To Succeed regardless of where he was at that time. He couldn't change the past, but was determined he would control his future which has now landed John Paul on the Biggest Business Reality TV Show in US History.

Rent-A-Grandma

 Rent A Grandma back then because I'm sure we both would of been a lot more relaxed having a more experienced babysitter when he was still a baby.
Now here's a novel idea that could fulfill a much needed service when you are trusting someone with your most prized possession, your Kid's. I distinctly remember the very first time we hired a baby sitter when my son was only 7 months old. We must of called no less than a half a dozen times before we finally cut the night short and came home early. I sure wish we had a

Todd Colby Pliss must of had a similar experience for him to come up with the Rent A Grandma Business Opportunity. It was such a unique idea combining Grandma's with parents looking for a responsible babysitter, he already had 50 Grandma's on the books and ready to rent out.

Pliss and one of his hired Grandma's came into the Shark Tank looking for a $150k investment in exchange for 20% of the Rent-A-Grandma Franchise Opportunity. His flagship store is located in Los Angeles, Ca. which all Grandma's are also certified cookie makers and always eager to bake a fresh batch of cookies. Sure it sounds a little gimmicky, but it is a unique twist that keeps the phone ringing.

Hero or Zero App

Lori Greiner's "Hero or Zero" App

Put Your Idea To The Test
Is It A HERO or a zero?

  So you think you have an idea that the QVC Queen Lori Greiner might like to add to her ever growing collection of unique products? Something you just know Lori would consider a Hero and not a Zero. Yes, Lori Greiner has indeed become famous for that line (I wonder if she has trade marked it yet?) for some of the products she's used that line on the Shark Tank Show. If some of the contestants had an insight to whether Greiner would consider their product a Hero or a Zero beforehand, they very well may of changed their sales pitch, especially if they were targeting her as the Shark Investor of choice.

How To Get Product Noticed By Lori Greiner

 Lori has become so popular on QVC and now the Shark Tank Show that she is in great demand for people constantly pitching new ideas to her. To have your invention featured by Greiner is a huge boost to your credibility and to any products resume. If you try to reach out to her on Twitter or FaceBook, good luck, this is NOT the way to get noticed by Lori Greiner.

Invention USA

Invention USA vs. Shark Tank

Season Premiere 11-26-2012

 

Invention USA premiere's tonight on the History Channel. The show is very similar to Shark Tank in that you have the opportunity to show off your invention on the History Channel in hopes of getting financial backing from investors. Reichart Von Wolfshield & Antony Garrett Lisi, both inventors themselves, are the only two hosts on Invention USA. Unlike the Sharks that are sitting in the cushy Shark Tank, these guy's travel around the country and go where the inventor's live. They first give their personal opinions on how viable the invention is, and then go out and test it in real life situations. If it passes their tests, the inventor is offered cash for a stake in the company or idea.

 

The first Invention USA aired last year with only 6 episodes but they are back

They were looking for $55k investmeent for only a 5% stake in the lobster business on wheels. This puts a very high valuation of over $1 million on such a new and small company, but they were smart enough to feed the Sharks their signature "Lobster Roll" before they got down to business. They have been in business for only 2 months? We'll that's what they said.(and already worth a million bucks?) The cousins have done $150k in sales and needs the Sharks money to invest in another food truck, but they don't seem to eager to give up much equity.

Shark Tank Success Stories

Shark Tank Success Stories

  I have to admit right up front I'm not a big fan of MOST reality t.v. shows these days. Most are a complete waste of time and a down right insult to any one's intelligence that believes your watching real events on TV when in fact it's for the most part staged.

 The reality T.V. show the "Shark Tank" is however much different then really any other reality show on television. These are real people that have taken their ideas and turned them into real businesses. The very entrepreneurship that has made this Great Country what it is.

 I have been a big fan of the Shark Tank since day #1.
