The doors open. You walk down the infamous aquarium hallway. Five Sharks are waiting. The pitch begins. Will there be a deal? Will it end badly? What happens after? The process of Shark Tank is certainly an adrenaline rush to any entrepreneur and rightly so as the experience is one of the most intense, high-pressure negotiations and presentations you could ever be a part of. In ABC's spin-off, Beyond the Tank highlights an up close and personal look at what happens after the Tank. In my book 7 Steps to Shark Tank, I give you an exclusive behind-the-scenes account of everything that happens BEFORE the deal is made. Getting on Shark Tank is no easy task My ebook walks you through exactly what I did from applying to getting the call back, what happened between the call back and filming, filming day, and when I found out my episode would air Purchasing this book will not guarantee you will get a call back from ABC, but it will paint a picture of the long process that I endured that ultimately changed my life forever. I hope you enjoy this personal story and find inspiration in my journey for your own life. Nate Holzapfel, co-founder of Mission Belt Co., appeared on Season 4, Episode 22 of ABC's Shark Tank where he hooked a deal with Daymond John, creator of FUBU and brand specialist known as "the People's Shark."
