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.

More quotes by Mark Cuban
It doesn't matter where you live...It doesn't matter how you live. It doesn't matter what car you drive. It doesn't matter what kind of clothes you wear.
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
One problem people have is that they lie to themselves. Rarely is talent enough. You have to find ways to make yourself standout. You do so by playing to your strengths and making people aware of those strengths.
Mark Cuban
Just watch. Pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered. When you try to take it too far, people turn the other way. I'm just telling you, when you've got a good thing and you get greedy, it always, always, always, always, always turns on you. That's rule No. 1 of business.
Mark Cuban
I create offbeat advice I don't follow it. I rarely take third-party advice on my investments.
Mark Cuban
While some people might find it distasteful to pay taxes, I don't. I find it patriotic.
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
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
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
Do the work. Out-work. Out-think. Out-sell your expectations. There are no shortcuts.
Mark Cuban
I still work hard to know my business. I'm continuously looking for ways to improve all my companies, and I'm always selling. Always.
Mark Cuban
In these times of the Great Recession, we shouldn't be trying to shift the benefits of wealth behind some curtain. We should be celebrating and encouraging people to make as much money as they can. Profits equal tax money. While some people might find it distasteful to pay taxes, I don't. I find it patriotic.
Mark Cuban
I love to compete. I want to get out there and kick your ass in the business world. That is what inspires me.
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
Can't say no one makes money from Twitter now. The NBA does.
Mark Cuban
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.
Mark Cuban
Everyone is passionate about something. Usually more than one thing. We are born with it. There are always going to be things we love to do. That we dream about doing. That we really, really want to do with our lives. Those passions aren't worth a nickel.
Mark Cuban
Open offices keep everyone in tune with what is going on and keep the energy up. If an employee is about privacy, show him or her how to use the lock on the bathroom.
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
I've learned the number one job of a pro manager is not to win championships but to keep their job.
