How to Turn Your Business Idea Into a Reality: Lessons from a SharkTank Entrepreneur with Jayla Siciliano

Picture this. You’ve got a brilliant business idea that you know will be amazing. You apply and get picked to be on Shark Tank and share your amazing business idea…and let’s take it one step further: you make a deal with Mark Cuban, one of the legendary sharks, to fund your business. This feels like the case scenario. If you know anything about entrepreneurship, it can be a bumpy road - that certainly was the case with our guest, Jayla Siciliano, a Shark Tank entrepreneur turned real estate investor and host of the Seed Money Podcast. In this episode, Jayla isn’t sugar-coating the path to entrepreneurial success. She’s sharing how to turn your business idea into a reality and why an entrepreneur’s relationship with money is so important, and of course, I ask her for the behind-the-scenes dish on everything Shark Tank because I’m sure you’re as curious as I am. If you’ve ever thought about launching a business idea or are knee-deep in running a business of any kind, this episode is for you.
