I’m excited to see who it is. I love to learn from other people.
My guess is … Oprah
Because you love her show and cry all the time. Plus she (and/or the people who work for her) have built a business empire.

Ummm…sorry Mr Marshall - although I’m going to be profiling Oprah very soon, she’s not “the One” I’ll be profiling on Monday.
Thanks for chiming in!

I am guessing maybe Frank Kern. It was a toss up between him or John Reece.
Alejandro Reyes (136 comments.)
12. May, 2008
Although those guys rock - I’m talking about “Famous Entrepreneurs.” Folks that have some “celebrity” and are more mainstream.
But if it was for Internet Marketers - frank & john would DEF be up there.
I’ll give ya another guess!

Gotcha, Gotcha…
Well then my guess is Martha Stewart.
She’s the bomb, seriously who doesn’t love Martha?
Even after the whole jailing thing she’s still on top of her game.
There’s lots to learn from someone who went against the grain and didn’t put her eggs all in one basket and became the the go to person in ALL aspects of the home.

Even thought Martha is a “gangsta” in my eyes now, its not here. Definitely going to be profiling her though.
Her commercial with Usher rocks!

What about Don King, a little old school I know but one of the leaders in marketing from early on encluding how to adapt
Alejandro Reyes (136 comments.)
13. May, 2008

I think it’s going to be Simon Leung?? Right or wrong?
Alejandro Reyes (136 comments.)
13. May, 2008
It’s not Simon. It’s a “famous” entrepreneur.
Someone that has some celebrity.
Seema (2 comments.)
13. May, 2008
Hmm…is it Robert Kiyosaki or Jack Canfield or Mark Victor Hansen? Do I only get one guess :S.. But u said with some ‘celebrity’ so maybe Simon Cowell.
Alejandro (2 comments.)
13. May, 2008
Not those guys Seema - great conversation last night!
Tony Smith (12 comments.)
13. May, 2008
yep, I reckon it’s gotta be JAy-Z.
He’s the top entrepreneur of the rap game, being the first rapper to hold off til it was agreed that he could keep the rights to his masters.
that’s a big thing in the music industry - unheard of. he’s then gone on to raise artists such as Rihanna.
how’s fatherhood treating you?
Alejandro Reyes (136 comments.)
13. May, 2008
Tony good guess cause Jay Z is on the list - but it’s not him!
John Warda (2 comments.)
13. May, 2008
Hey Alejandro. How’s it going?
Great idea you have here, I can’t wait check out your profiles!
Ok so here is my guess. Is it Mark Cuban?
John
Alejandro Reyes (136 comments.)
13. May, 2008
this is probably the CLOSEST guess so far!
John Warda (2 comments.)
13. May, 2008
Not sure if you mind if I guess again. If you don’t then how about Richard Branson?
John
Joshwhite
13. May, 2008
Is it 50 Cent? He has a great business mind. Ive been watching his videos and he talkes about the business side of things.
Alejandro Reyes (136 comments.)
13. May, 2008
Nah man - but he’s definitely a great business man!!
Joshwhite
13. May, 2008
Is it 50 Cent? Ive been watching his videos on ustream.tv.
Alejandro Reyes (136 comments.)
13. May, 2008
he’s on Ustream? LIVE?
Donna Fox (3 comments.)
13. May, 2008
Ok, how about Richard Branson?
Hmmm… maybe not, he has acting credits. Who knew? He was:
-”Man at Airport Security” in Casino Royale
-”Shuttle Engineer” in Superman REturns
-”Balloon Man” in Around the World in 80 Days
and was even on an episode of Friends.
Where does he find the time?
I’ll keep thinking…
Alejandro Reyes (136 comments.)
13. May, 2008
Well Richard is at the TOP of the list that’s for sure - but he would be too easy.
He has ALL the time in the world. C’mon girl if you had that much money - you know you’d be in movies too! More branding I guess…LOL
Donna Fox (3 comments.)
13. May, 2008
Here’s my second guess:
Michael Dell
Alejandro Reyes (136 comments.)
13. May, 2008
Not Mr. Dell even though I’ve used him for many man years until I switched to Mac a couples years ago.
David Wilkinson (3 comments.)
13. May, 2008
Steve Jobs
Mark Zuckerberg
Matt Mullenweg
Ha! I’ll still be wrong.
Dave Webb (7 comments.)
14. May, 2008
Maybe….Ted Turner?
Dave Webb (7 comments.)
14. May, 2008
Or, how about one more guess…Wayne Huizenga?
Alejandro Reyes (136 comments.)
14. May, 2008
Why do you think it’s wayne & ted?
Dave Webb (7 comments.)
14. May, 2008
Because they both have had outstanding entrepreneurial careers across a wide spectrum of business, entertainment, sports & philanthropy. They have conquered adversity, and been innovators and trend-setters in their industries, And they’ve have had the success mindset that’s needed to excel. That’s pretty general & I could go on and on with specifics, but that’s what you’re gonna do!
Oh, and they’re both about as much of a match to Mark Cuban as I could think of!
Am I close?
alekia
14. May, 2008
Not sure how many guesses were allowed but what about.
Bill Gates for all of the obvious reasons, including charity work and giving back to the community.
Or Sergey Bin and Larry Page the cofounders of Google?
How many guesses are we allowed?
DENISE
14. May, 2008
Great idea with your website! I would have to guess Mr. Bill Gates ,just because he is one of the ALL TIME greatest entreprenuers,(along with Ryan Blair). Can’t wait to see baby Sadie!
