The Shark Tank - Best Business TV Shows Series

We are tarting a new stream of presenting the best business and financial TV shows that can educate people a little bit.
For the last couple of weeks I've watched all the episodes of the popular ABC TV program called The Shark Tank. Basically it's a show where entrepreneurs are seeking capital from wealthy venture capitalists.
The economy is tight, banks are not lending money and raising capital is very difficult.
As you know raising capital is one of the top things businesses need.
This show is entertaining and educative. The original is the Canadian show The Dragons Den which is also great to watch. You see a lot of ideas, a lot of products a lot of people. You see negotiations, made deals, ruined deals.
Basically this show is the business version of American Idol, but no fan votes, and that's why it's a lot better.
It's real business, real entrepreneurs and investors, real money.
Each episode 5 investors are looking for deals.
You have to watch it.

The most important people for an entrepreneur!

We are talking about business here. The most important people for you in your business.
Many times the people you love the most in your personal life are not going to like the idea of you running a big business, especially if you are just starting. Many times your family and your friends will not give support. If you have their full support, great! But unfortunately most of us do not (or did not) have that advantage. Usually friends pull you back when it comes to business so who are the people who can push you?

These are the most important people for an entrepreneur:

Your Accountant (CPA)
Make sure you have a good one. Taxes are huge thing.

Your Banker
You don't hire him, but he usually provides the finances.

Your Lawyer
All legal things have to be OK, or you will have troubles.

Your Managers
As a big entrepreneur you have to outsource many of the managing tasks to other competent people.

Your Secretary
Or your personal assistant. They are very close to you and help you a lot.

Note: If you have well designed business, everyone in your team is important.
