In this episode of the Millionaire Mindcast, we have a humble and amazing guy, Mark Haney who shares his entrepreneurial adventure from managing video companies to a huge security company, how he has helped lots of entrepreneurs, talks about Angel Investing, and gives tips on how to create an amazing team and culture within your business, how to take yourself to the next level and achieve your goals and vision, and the things you ‘must-have’ to be successful!

Mark Haney is a serial entrepreneur, an Angel Investor, the Host of The Mark Haney Show, an amazing dad and husband, and Co-Founder of the Haney Business Ventures, a unique platform that includes digital & broadcast media, programs & events, business services, investment, and space, all designed to provide the next generation of entrepreneurs with access to the expertise, connections, and support they need to realize their dreams.

Along with his brother and friends, they started with 12 video stores who know nothing but keeping their harmonious relationships within the company. Mark admitted that he was not a perfect leader but trying to develop a system of leadership, and understand the culture he’s creating within his team. He believes that the right set of stakeholders in your life is a huge hint whether you win or lose. So being united as a team in growing and reaching their visions and goals is an advantage.

Mark is striving hard to grow faster as it will not only create an opportunity for him but for his team. He is obsessed with the process of making people better and building the right team. Therefore, he is currently building a team with entrepreneurs in Sacramento and investing in 37 companies, and looking forward to working with a hundred influential entrepreneurs to be business millionaires.

Just knowing what you want to accomplish is a good start, and hopefully, surround yourself with people that believed in your ‘why’!
