Ask an Expert: 'Shark Tank' judge on being an entrepreneur

Robert Herjavec

He arrived in Halifax, Canada, on a boat with his parents after escaping communism in the former Yugoslavia. As he says, he had but “one suitcase, few prospects, $20 and no understanding of the English language.”

Starting out delivering newspapers and waiting tables, Herjavec launched a computer company from his basement, became an entrepreneur, and eventually sold one of his businesses to AT&T and another to Nokia for $225 million.

If you aren’t watching Shark Tank, you’re missing out on an invaluable crash course lesson in business negotiation.
