AfterShark: Lisa Lloyd way over her head with her Treasure Chest Pets

Updated

Having a good business idea isn't enough to make money. You also need the means to execute it. Last night, inventor Lisa Lloyd showed up on ABC's Shark Tank a nervous wreck: sleepless, mortgaged to the brink of disaster, and unable to meet the demands of her business without some quick capital. Banks were of no use. She needed the investment, and the know-how, that comes from the Sharks.

She got it. Or at least, she got the promise of it, and today, she looks a lot happier to know that she won't have to shoulder the burden of the day-to-day operations of her business for much longer. Barbara Corcoran and Daymond John promised to make her "filthy rich" by taking over the back-office demands of her manufacturing, and soon she can go back to what she does best: inventing.

For our AfterShark series, WalletPop's Jason Cochran snagged Lloyd for her first post-show interview on the morning after her big Hail Mary pass. She tells us where her invention stands now, and she hints that although some people may have brilliant ideas, not all of them are cut out to make dreams come true without help.
