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.

The NBA is never just a business. It's always business. It's always personal. All good businesses are personal. The best businesses are very personal.
Mark Cuban
Business is the ultimate sport. In business, as in sport, the one thing you can control is effort.

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.

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.

I'm not against government involvement in times of need. I am for recognizing that big public companies will continue to cut jobs in an effort to prop up stock prices, which in turn stimulates the need for more government involvement.

I've learned the number one job of a pro manager is not to win championships but to keep their job.

When you first start working for me, directly for me, I micromanage until I trust you.

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
With every effort, I learned a lot. With every mistake and failure, not only mine, but of those around me, I learned what not to do. I also got to study the success of those I did business with as well. I had more than a healthy dose of fear, and an unlimited amount of hope, and more importantly, no limit on time and effort.

Linking without permission is stealing. Period, end of story.
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
Business is a sport and I want to win. I want to kick your ass. I may not win every game. But I certainly am going to try.
Mark Cuban
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
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
The one requirement for success in our business lives is effort. Either you make the commitment to get results or you don't.
Mark Cuban
It is so much easier to be nice, to be respectful, to put yourself in your customers' shoes and try to understand how you might help them before they ask for help, than it is to try to mend a broken customer relationship.
Mark Cuban
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.
