Featured Inteview with Successfull Billionaire and Entrepreneur Mark Cuban

You may have heard of Mr. Mark Cuban if your a Dallas Mavericks Fan, or watch NBC Shark Tank. He has been extremely successful in all his career endeavors and I am very excited to have a chance to interview such a extraordinary individual and gain access to advice especially for MOM looking to be mom-preneurs. Here is my interview and responses from Mr. Cuban.


There are many mommies out there that dream of creating their own business
but haven't a clue where to start. What advice do you have for them?


Find something you love to do, can do on your own and doesn’t require
any more capital than you can afford to lose personally. The most
valuable asset you have is your time, talents and ability to
communicate. Focus on those strengths and what you can do rather than
what you can’t do.


There are many young moms who are just beginning their lives and can relate to
you when you said you were sharing a small apartment with 6 people and
sleeping on the floor. How can someone keep their eye on the prize when they’re
living on Ramen noodles?


Who cares how you are living today? I loved every minute of living in
that dump. The low rent and utilities and eating Mac n’ Cheese all
the time allowed me to afford the startup of my business. Instead of
paying myself much, I could put it in to my business.

One part in your book I loved and my heart sank at is when your fiance
lost your $7500 ring. What's your advice for those moms out there who are distracted by a relationship? How do you balance a real life with your dreams?


I never was able to balance. Each person has to make their own
decisions. But remember, your competitors aren’t sitting by idly
waiting for you to have a nice dinner with your significant other.
They are trying to kick your butt. So choose wisely.

You encourage entrepreneurs not to hire a public relations firm, Mark. How did you get the word out about your eBook?

I tweeted, posted on Facebook, [used] Google Plus and responded to emails. Nothing more.


Where can we get a copy of your eBook, How to Win at the Sport of Business?
Anywhere eBooks are sold: Amazon, BN.com, and sites that support independent bookstores too.


Thank you Mr. Cuban for taking the time to talk. I know many of the moms will appreciate all the terrific advice.
