In this special episode, Rob has broken down the best bits of his interviews with Dragon Den judges Touker Suleyman, Kelly Hoppens, Theo Paphitis and Piers Linney. They answer Rob’s questions about the taboo of money, business success and what it means to be a dragon! KEY TAKEAWAYS  Talking about money, in terms of personal wealth is still taboo in the UK Money is an instrument that you learn to use effectively. Touket doesn’t use his wealth for power but as an aid to convenience, him and those around him are looked after. If you are going to pitch in Dragon’s Den, you need to decide what it is you want, is money and investment the focus or is it mentorship? If you are thinking about closing a business, figure out the reason why you are thinking of this and then decide why it may be the right decision. Money isn’t everything but it’s a lot easier to be happy when you aren’t worrying about money, it gives you options and freedom. Whilst being in the public eye has it challenges, it’s good to be known for success than to be a nobody. Make sure in business you always have enough cash flow, it’s imperative for survival in challenging time.   BEST MOMENTS “One a one-to-one amongst friends I wouldn’t talk about money” “Money is an instrument that you use effectively” “Do you really want a dragon?
