Sales Cure All. Know how your company will make money and how you will actually make sales.
Mark Cuban
Most people think it's all about the idea. It's not. EVERYONE has ideas. The hard part is doing the homework to know if the idea could work in an industry, then doing the preparation to be able to execute on the idea.
Mark Cuban
To me business is a sport. I love knowing that 24x7x365xforever I'm competing with people I don't know. To build my businesses. To come up with new ideas. To come up with better ideas. That motivates me.
Mark Cuban
I wouldn't be where I am now if I didn't fail ... a lot. The good, the bad, it's all part of the success equation.
Mark Cuban
I know I'm prejudiced and I know I'm bigoted in a lot of different ways.
Mark Cuban
What I do know, at least what I think I have learned from my experiences in business, is that when there is a rush for everyone to do the same thing, it becomes more difficult to do. Not easier. Harder.

I think college is an absolute. In this world you have to learn how to learn and get in the habit of always wanting to learn. Some kids have that out of high school and may be able to do the college equivalent of home schooling. Most kids can't. So I highly recommend going to college.

Learn to sell. In business you’re always selling: to your prospects, investors and employees. To be the best salesperson put yourself in the shoes of the person to whom you’re selling. Don’t sell your product. Solve their problems.
Mark Cuban
Never settle. There is no reason to rush.

If you really want to know where your destiny lies, look at where you apply your time.

A sure sign of failure for a startup is when someone sends me logo-embroidered polo shirts. If your people are at shows and in public, it's okay to buy for your own employees, but if you really think people are going to wear your branded polo when they're out and about, you are mistaken and have no idea how to spend your money.
Mark Cuban
Never follow your dreams. Follow your effort. It's not about what you can dream of. That's easy. It's about whether or not it's important enough to you to do the work to be ready to be successful in that business.
Mark Cuban
I think that any reporter or columnist will be a little more careful when doing interviews with me.
Mark Cuban
If you think back to the first sporting event you went to, you don't remember the score, you don't remember a home run, you don't remember a dunk. You remember who you were with. Were you with your mom, your dad, your brother, on a date?
Mark Cuban
If given a choice between investing in someone who has read REWORK or has an MBA, I’m investing in REWORK every time. A must read for every entrepreneur.
Mark Cuban
Communicate with your fans or customers. They know we live in an ever changing world. If you tell them what you are thinking and why you are doing what you do, as I did with my blog regarding Nash leaving, they will respect and support you more.
Mark Cuban
I just started a business called HDNet. There never is one area that has a door open to everyone. Try to find an area with something you love to do and do it. It's a lot easier to work hard and prepare when you love what you are doing.
Mark Cuban
Sales is the most important aspect of a company, which in turn is about how well you treat your customer and stay ahead of your customer's requirements.
Mark Cuban
Sports, music, movies - basically, fans of any form of entertainment don't do a resume analysis before picking their favorite.
Mark Cuban
It's not about money or connections. It's the willingness to outwork and outlearn everyone.
