Barbara Corcoran’s credentials include straight D’s in high school and college and twenty jobs by the time she turned twenty-three.  It was her next job, however, that would make her one of the most successful entrepreneurs in the country, when she borrowed $1,000 from her boyfriend and quit her job as a waitress to start a tiny real estate company in New York City.  Over the next twenty-five years, she’d parlay that $1,000 loan into a five-billion-dollar real estate business named The Corcoran Group. She sold the business in 2001 for seventy million dollars.

Barbara is the author of If You Don’t Have Big Breasts, Put Ribbons on Your Pigtails, an unlikely business book and a national best-seller.  In it, Barbara credits her struggles in school and her mother’s kitchen-table wisdom for her success in the business world.  The book is a fresh, frank look at how to succeed in life and business and is as heartwarming as it is smart and motivating. Her second book, Nextville, Amazing Places to Live the Rest of Your Life is fast becoming another best-seller.

Barbara is the real estate contributor for NBC’s Today Show and CNBC, and she’s a columnist for The Daily News, MORE magazine and Redbook.

As a speaker, Barbara brings her front-lines experience and infectious energy to every person she meets.  Motivational, inspirational, and sometimes outrageous, Barbara Corcoran’s tell-it-like-it-is attitude is a refreshing approach to success.
