I’ll pick the pants and skirt that go with the shoes and the top that goes with the skirt, making sure that everything is interchangeable. Then, I pack everything from the shoes up. I generally pack a neutral pair of shoes and wear sneakers, so, I only have two pairs of shoes with me. for Shark Tank, which requires lots of different outfits, I travel carry-on-checked luggage gets lost. If you want to fit two weeks’ worth of clothes in a carry-on, go bottom up. Very often I’m traveling with friends, so he reserves all the loungers for me. I give the beach boy a $100 bill and ask him to please reserve a particular lounger for me.
Two-thirds of my vacations are water-associated and not everybody gets up early to attack the beach loungers. Then I give a $100 bill to the bartender and say I want to sit there every night. My hairdresser told me that when I go on a beach vacation, I should scout out the bar facing the sunset and find the best seat. When you’re playing Scrabble, people inevitably walk around or look at your words and you might even end up playing with them next.ĭon’t get settled into a beach resort without doing these two things first.
BARTENDER OUTFITS PORTABLE
I also bring a portable Scrabble board and just ask the two people around me, “Hey, do you play Scrabble?” There’s always a Scrabble player, and they’re delighted to pass the time that way. Instead, I always go right to the gate and set an alarm. I don’t hang out in the lounges even though one of my cards allows me to-I’m a daydreamer, so I miss a lot of flights.
The one thing you should pack to pass time in the airport-it works even better if you’re delayed. For dessert I bring an orange, and when I break it open, that aroma shoots out and everybody gets jealous. Then I buy a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc at the airport, and I eat lunch like I’m a queen in my coach seat. I always bring two very pretty napkins-one as a tablecloth on my tray and the other for my lap-and a real wine glass. I bring my own delicious food: a couple of cheeses, usually hard salami, and really nice artisan crackers that aren’t soggy. You can fly like royalty in economy-as long as you pack a few small luxuries. It makes all the difference for them to take that vacation and go somewhere they haven’t seen before. I have nine brothers and sisters, 32 nieces and nephews, and then there’s my husband Bill’s side of the family. As for the miles, I never use them for an upgrade-I’d rather fly my family all over the country. I feel pretentious in first class, and I can’t justify the additional costs. I never fly first class except once in a while when the client books. There’s something better than first class. And shockingly, she does almost all of it in coach. Although it only takes two trips to Los Angeles a year to tape each season of Shark Tank-“the least of my travels,” she says-Corcoran accumulates hundreds of thousands of miles, typically taking from 30 to 40 trips a year. Now she’s practically unstoppable, especially where travel is concerned. “If I didn’t get that $1,000 loan, I never could have started.” Last year, Corcoran teamed up with Trey Zoeller, founder of Jefferson’s Bourbon, to create the Marian McClain Entrepreneurial Fund, which aims to kickstart innovative business ideas with grants of up to $20,000. These days, Corcoran is best known as the most amiable investor on Shark Tank, though she is also the author of the bestselling memoir Shark Tales, How I Turned $1,000 into a Billion Dollar Business, and host of the podcast Business Unusual with Barbara Corcoran. She’s also the co-founder of Barbara Corcoran Investment Partners, which invests in an array of industries far beyond real estate.
