More quotes by Mark Cuban
It takes time, it's a grind. There are no shortcuts. You've got to grind and grind.
Mark Cuban
It's not in the dreaming, it's in the doing.
Mark Cuban
Do the work. Out-work. Out-think. Out-sell your expectations. There are no shortcuts.
Mark Cuban
Every kid thinks they have something special about themselves. Every adult thinks they have a big idea at some point in their life. Rather than pursue every thing they possibly can to prepare themselves to enable their idea or special talent, they tend to wing it and make excuses.
Mark Cuban
Everyone has ideas. The first step is to learn more about your industry than anyone in the world. Otherwise there is a good chance that the lady that knows it better than you is going to kick your ass. Then you just have to go for it. No excuses. Just work your ass off.
Mark Cuban
Business happens over years and years. Value is measured in the total upside of a business relationship, not by how much you squeezed out in any one deal.
Mark Cuban
I'm not the type to pat myself on the back and all that, but somebody has to be lucky, right? When I got to Dallas, I was struggling - sleeping on the floor with six guys in a three-bedroom apartment. I used to drive around, look at the big houses, and imagine what it would be like to live there and use that as motivation.
Mark Cuban
Wherever there is change, and wherever there is uncertainty, there is opportunity!
Mark Cuban
Because if you're prepared and you know what it takes, it's not a risk. You just have to figure out how to get there. There is always a way to get there.
Mark Cuban
Every job I took was really me getting paid to learn about a new industry.
Mark Cuban
One thing we can all control is effort
Mark Cuban
Every 'No' gets me closer to a 'Yes'.
Mark Cuban
Selling is never about convincing. It is always about helping.
Mark Cuban
It takes a lot of things to work together in order to be wealthy but with a little luck, a lot of luck... You've got to be good at something. For a 20-year-old, you don't have to know exactly what you want to do, you've just got to go find something you can be great at, and then go be great at it.
Mark Cuban
I was lucky. I grew up knowing that hard work and smart work has a greater impact on results than being passionate about something.
Mark Cuban
With Android I get to choose from many different products from many different phone manufacturers. With iOS, I get what Apple gives me. Which isn't necessarily bad, but it's not always the best fit for my personal or business communication needs.
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.
Mark Cuban
Even when I had nothing, I had everything. Because I love to compete.
Mark Cuban
I do everything via email. Which in turn works as my tickler file and prioritization queue. I start at the top every morning and keep on going until I'm finished. I don't do calls. I don't do meetings.
Mark Cuban
If you're looking where everybody else is looking, you're looking in the wrong spot.
