More quotes by Mark Cuban
Don't start a company unless it's an obsession and something you love. If you have an exit strategy, it's not an obsession.
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
It's not about money or connections. It's the willingness to outwork and outlearn everyone.
Mark Cuban
Once you have found out what you love to do, there is only one goal: to be the best in the world at it.

Being able to take a traditional cable-television subscriber and give them new widget type applications to me is huge.
Mark Cuban
It's not whether the glass is half empty or half full, it's who is pouring the water. The key in business and success at any endeavor is doing your best to control your destiny. You can't always do it, but you have to take every opportunity you can to be as prepared as-and ahead of-the competition as you possibly can be.
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
You've got to be very cognizant of the correlation between social media links and business because they don't always correlate as highly as people would like.
Mark Cuban
The idea that growth equals profitability is a misconception. If you can't afford the financial or qualitative side of growth, it can just as easily put you out of business.
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
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
I think you’ve got to be very, very careful when you start making blanket statements about what people say and think, as opposed to what they do. It’s a very, very slippery slope.
Mark Cuban
When you post something, when you text something, you lose ownership of it when you hit enter or send. Who you send it to, where you post it, they take ownership of that information whether you like it or not
Mark Cuban
Every job I took was really me getting paid to learn about a new industry.
Mark Cuban
Patent law holds us back, in every which way, shape or form. There is place for it, in physical products, in pharmaceuticals, but in software in particular, there is no place for it.
Mark Cuban
There is very little knowledge that can't be obtained through effort. With knowledge you can determine the state of any business or opportunity and find a course to gain an advantage.
Mark Cuban
I'm always afraid of failing. It's great motivation to work harder.
