Does anyone else see all too often, people lying about their businesses in order to advance in society?
I heard a story about a current student at the college I graduated from who's claimed he's generated millions in revenue by age 19 with his business / businesses.. and most notably was on shark tank and raised $200K from Cuban for 20% of his company - but obviously the truth came out on the show that he really only had 60K in revenue.
Supposedly he lied about his revenues to win a lot of free money in business plan competitions around campus. People like that, IMO, will never make it far..
