Robert and Paula talk about how to stay motivated while running your business on a day to day basis. Dad and I share a video from Entrepreneur.com where Barbara Corcoran of Shark Tank talks about how she gets her team to have fun to get the creative juices flowing. We’re big fans of Barbara’s so stay tuned for more tips and videos of hers to come your way very soon. And as always your Dear Robert questions answered along with the humorous side of business with Stuck on Stupid.

I’m pretty sure that you have seen the recent interview or at least heard about Oprah talking her network OWN and how it might have been a mistake.
