    I am sure there is a lot that goes on behind the scenes that we don't see. I have to think some things are staged to add a little more drama to the show. Still I have to wonder how some of the...

    I love the show as well. I think even someone who operates their business well would become an even better manager if they watch that show. It is so much cheaper to learn from the mistakes of...

    I agree with you that many seem to let debt get out of control. It seems like a lot of them want the life they could have after the business is successful before it is successful. As I recall the...

    I have to wonder with some of the issues that the managers of the companies in trouble have how they made it as long as they did without driving their businesses broke. There are some great people...

    I do think that many business owners who got into the habit of watching every episode would turn out to be better operators from the things they learn from watching the show. I am actually watching...
