In addition to her career advice, Lori also passed on advice to employees aspiring to further in their careers. According to her, being proactive and reliable within the workplace is essential. For those who are willing to leap into action and assist their teams fully, those traits will always lead to success. “If you have a boss, then do whatever you can to anticipate what he needs. Be the most helpful person on his team and show him that you deserve that promotion. Go the extra mile, that is what you will do,” she stated.
She also offered some similar insights borrowed from her experience as a mentor and leader all these years. She has come to establish herself as one of the first on identifying innovative products and helping young entrepreneurs mass-market their innovations. Her techniques have seen Scrub Daddy scale to become a multi-million-dollar brand. Her journey teaches that success does not come in heaps of great ideas alone; hard work, dedication, and doing great work in every role one occupies can make all the difference.
Avoid Competition With Others, Rather Compete With Yourself!
Widely considered one of the most strategic investors on Shark Tank, Lori is not only famous for her business skills but also her problem-solving creativity. Interestingly, Lori also recognizes herself as a creator and inventor first, before a businesswoman. She reflected back to her early career saying, “I really wasn’t a businesswoman. I was…an inventor. I was constantly coming up with ideas for things. One day I saw my other ideas out there on the market, and they were just a huge success.”
Lori’s problem-solving abilities paved the way for her entrepreneurial success. It was her ability to turn those ideas into products for the marketplace that became a survivorship of great competitive advantage. It was this mindset that led her to invest in Scrub Daddy, one of Shark Tanks biggest success stories. Under her leadership, it might be argued that she converted it into a household name.
