Anyone here watch "Shark Tank" the reality TV show with Mark Cuban, Kevin O'Leary and other investors? I find it very entertaining but as a business lesson I find it inherently questionable. My point is that my first 6 or so successful and profitable businesses required literally NO (as in zero) investors whatsoever. I'm just concerned that budding and young entrepreneurs with little to no experience who watch the show will reason that investors are a necessary component to a successful business. I find that aspect of the show somewhat detrimental to actual business success. I didn't need investors to create and manage successful businesses. Your thoughts on the show?
