Failure Is Not Fatal: How She Turned a Shark Tank Flop & Bankruptcy Into A Real Estate Empire
Feb 15, 2021An entrepreneur’s journey is definitely a rollercoaster, and I think there are few people who understand that more than today’s guest. We are joined on the show by Shelton Wilder, a serial entrepreneur who turned a failed business into founding one of the top luxury real estate teams in the LA area, the Shelton Wilder Group.
From living an affluent life as a young entrepreneur, to rebuilding from bankruptcy, to then pitching her clothing company on Shark Tank, and now killing it in the luxury real estate space, Shelton is a true testament to what you can accomplish when you keep your focus on the road in front of you, instead of looking in the rearview mirror. Keep listening to hear Shelton talk about what it was like to pitch to the sharks, the easy ways you can leverage video marketing to grow your business, and how to grieve letting go of something you’ve worked hard on to move onto something better.
