Answers by Robert Herjavec, dynamic entrepreneur and a leading Shark on ABC's Shark Tank., on Quora.

Q: What's the best behind-the-scenes story from filming Shark Tank?

A: I'm not sure they'd like it if I told you the really good ones. One of my favorites is when we had our longest pitch. Felt like it would never end - seriously! I think it was 1.5 - 2 hrs. Daymond is out, he gets up and actually leaves. Goes to the Sony cafeteria for lunch, comes back, and the guy was still pitching.

...

Q: Is there anything you wish someone would pitch you on Shark Tank, but it hasn't happened yet?

A: I used to be able to answer that question - with something for home technology, something for my car, a pet product. Now just when I feel like we've seen it all the producers and the entrepreneurs keep surprising us. We honestly have NO IDEA what is coming out those doors and every season it's just getting better, and better.

...

Q: What are some things everyone can implement in their daily lives to rise above mediocrity?

A: Look - there's no one secret. But you have to know that life owes you nothing more than an opportunity. Stop blaming your situation, stop complaining and go make the most of that opportunity.

Mark has this quote - someone wakes up every day with the sole intention of kicking your ass. Why can't that someone be you? Why can't you be that motivated and fired up that you'll go take on the world? I say HOORAH - use the motivation, the quote, something visual to remind yourself that it's up to you to get that fired up and seize the opportunity!
