Mark Cuban, the 55 year old owner of the Dallas Mavericks and many other businesses says:
"It doesn't matter how many times you fail. You only have to
be right once and then everyone can tell you that you are an overnight
success."
Cuban was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania July 31, 1958. He started working when in college as a bartender first and then as a P.C. software salesman. He then started a company called MicroSolutions and sold it in 1990 clearing two million dollars in the deal.
He then started another company with Todd Wagner, his college buddy, called Audionet which was turned into Broadcast.com and in 1999 was sold to Yahoo for 5.9 billion dollars in stock.
Cuban diversified his wealth and became # 459 on Forbes list of wealthiest people. He has kept going forward and expanding in his businesses and seems to have unlimited energy. He is also very charitable and kind.
Maybe you can do a deal with him? People do all the time on the television program "Shark Tank" which is on Friday nights where Mark and several other billionaires sit on a panel. They sometimes invest money with entrepreneurs who make a pitch to the panel and if one or more of the Sharks likes an idea they invest their own money.
