More quotes by 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
Most people think money is the key to reducing risk. Prepartion is.

Wherever I see people doing something the way it's always been done, the way it's supposed to be done, following the same old trends, well, that's just a big red flag to me to go look somewhere else.
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
One thing I learned in the NBA is that the No. 1 job of a general manager is to keep his job. They are only 30 positions where you make millions and hang around with basketball players all day.
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.

I had been in the technology business for so long, I had seen the PC-bubble come and burst, I had seen the local area and wide area networking-bubble come and burst, it was no shock that the internet-bubble was going to burst.

When I started writing this blog more than years ago, it was in response to traditional media's habit of twisting interviews to fit the headlines they wanted to create.
Mark Cuban
Selling is never about convincing. It is always about helping.
Mark Cuban
Business is the ultimate sport. In business, as in sport, the one thing you can control is effort.
Mark Cuban
Do the work. Out-work. Out-think. Out-sell your expectations. There are no shortcuts.
Mark Cuban
Social media is just a platform. Twitter is a very simple and immediate broadcast platform. Facebook is a very personal, when it comes to friends and when it comes to fan pages, a little bit less but still somewhat personal way to communicate.
Mark Cuban
My days are straight out of the movie Groundhog Day.
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
Ideas are easy. I've never met a single person who didn't think they had a world class idea. The hard part is making it a business.
Mark Cuban
Always look for the fool in the deal. If you don't find one, it's you.
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
Being rich is a good thing. Not just in the obvious sense of benefitting you and your family, but in the broader sense. Profits are not a zero sum game. The more you make, the more of a financial impact you can have.
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
Do the things that make perfect sense to you, [and] don't be afraid to shout it from the mountain tops just because it's outside the box or against the grain in your industry. More often than not, you're probably going to be right.
Mark Cuban
