Shark Tank: Cactus Jack's Come Back
Wow. Great show. I was so nervous for each of the entrepreneurs! I had a hard time deciding who was the most motivated and passionate. They each had good ideas and seemed to be motivated. However, a lot of them lacked passion for their idea which I think made it hard for them to present and sell to the Sharks. Those with true passion received deals! The brothers from Brazil led with passion in their presentation and almost forgot to mention the business hook with health insurance companies. Cactus Jack oozed passion from head to toe of his outfit which was a risk! :)
I chose Cactus Jack as my example of a motivated and passionate entrepreneur who keeps trying no matter what happens because being entrepreneurial, creative and making money are so much of who is is. Cactus Jack has a passion for ideas, invention and creativity that has allowed him to create products across multiple industries even when he is not experienced in that industry. He has remained motivated and seems to have an incredible passion for the creative process even though he has experienced some rather violent financial swings that have caused stress for himself and his family. Ultimately, he is a problem solver and can see needs and determine ideas that fulfill needs. I liked his example of the cleaning product packaged like bullets. It's out there but apparently works! He has and is making money. I hope he is able to lose the 30 pounds to successfully complete his deal with the Sharks!
What I can and have learned from Cactus Jack is it is essential to discover your passion and do great things with it. His passion is solving problems with products/ideas. My main motivation for taking this class is to see more examples like this of people who are not afraid of the passion or intrinsic ideas they possess and who follow their dreams to create financial opportunity. So many people do things they do not enjoy because they think they can make great money and they expect that making great money ALONE will bring happiness. I see those that are the happiest are those who have created a career based on passionate application of talent, knowledge and understanding and that love for what they do makes hard work seem fun! This passionate pursuit is balanced with an understanding of market conditions and how money can me made in a changing economy applying skills and talents in new ways to continue to have opportunities to make money. Cactus Jack seems to understand this formula and it sounds like he maybe needs to balance the passion/risk taking with a rational view of how to best make and KEEP money.
I am really looking forward to understanding how the principles in this course can be applied in my teaching but also in my personal life as I determine how to best spend my time and what goals and projects to pursue. There are so many amazing things to do and be a part of and I don't want to let fear cause me to miss out on anything!
