I’d rather be selling a dozen apples on a street corner than to work for someone else! I’d have complete freedom to choose my corner, open and close when I want, and sell my apples. Three cheers for the small business owners working their dream! #SmallBusinessSaturday #ShopSmall

Some of the worst entrepreneurs on Shark Tank have the best credentials. They often come from right schools and have fancy degrees. I put my money on the really street smart people who can think fast on their feet, because those are the people who make me a lot of money.
