Mark Cuban, the owner of the Dallas Mavericks, has a blog called blogmaverick. He tends to post business related content with an “eye to the future” kind of feel. I like reading them and you can tell he is a sharp guy as you read. My favorite posts, by far, were a recent set focused on his own past. They discuss where he was (his stature in life economically) when he got started, what his motivations were and how he ultimately won. As someone who runs a small (very small – I still have my day job ) business and who continues to try to get over the hump these were a great read.

I contacted Mr. Cuban to get permission to repost my favorite eight items. He agreed. So prepare to be motivated (or if nothing else to get a peek into the mind of a self-made billionaire). This will be an eight part series. I hope you enjoy.
