Quote by -Mark Cuban
“You always have to know what business you are in. Everybody thought we were in the basketball business. It’s an NBA-team; we are not in the basketball business. We are in the business of creating experiences and memories.”
Quote by -Mark Cuban
“I love to compete. Somebody out there is competing against me, and I want to kick your ass. I say it all the time: Business is the ultimate sport.”
Quote by -Mark Cuban
“We can talk about republican or democratic approaches to the economy, but until you fix the student loan bubble – and that’s where the real bubble is – and the tuition bubble, we don’t have a chance. All this other stuff is shuffling deck- chairs on the Titanic.”
Quote by -Mark Cuban
“If you are ahead of the curve and you can anticipate where things are going … anything is possible.”
Quote by -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.”
Quote by -Mark Cuban

Quote by -Mark Cuban
“It comes down to finding something you love to do, then just trying to be great at it.”
Quote by -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.”
Quote by -Mark Cuban
“The number-one job of the hedge-fund manager is not to make sure that you can retire with a smile on your face – it’s for him to retire with a smile on his face.”
Quote by -Mark Cuban
“When you’ve got 10,000 people trying to do the same thing, why would you want to be number 10,001?”
Quote by -Mark Cuban
“I’m a big believer that you always reiterate, you always learn, you always realize your business is evolving.”
Quote by -Mark Cuban
“It’s hard not to fool yourself. Everyone tells you how they are going to be special. But few do the work to get there. Do the work.”
Quote by -Mark Cuban
“One thing we can all control is effort. Put in the time to become an expert in whatever you’re doing. It will give you an advantage because most people don’t do this.”
Quote by -Mark Cuban
“I want the bad news first. I don’t want the ‘Oh, we hade a great week and Billy…’ You know, great, I’m sure Billy had fun. I want to read: ‘God damn it! We lost this sale, and here is why.’”
Quote by -Mark Cuban
“We don’t sell wins or losses. The one thing you can’t control in sports is which games you are going to win or which games you are going to lose. But what I could control was the experience the fans have.”
Quote by -Mark Cuban
“You learn in life that a lot of things are the result of effort, but some things, in terms of scale, are random.”
Quote by -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.”
Quote by -Mark Cuban
“Those back-to-back experiences confirmed what I already knew: That I was a shitty-ass employee and I’d better start my own business.”
Quote by -Mark Cuban
“You have to learn how to use time wisely and be productive. How wisely you use your time will have far more impact on your life and success than any amount of money.”
Quote by -Mark Cuban
“Money is a scoreboard where you can rank how you’re doing against other people.”
Quote by -Mark Cuban
“I retired at twenty-nine, bought a life-time pass on American Airlines and my only goal in life was to party like a mad man and get drunk with as many people as possible. And I was happy right there. But when we started the streaming business, I knew it could be something big…”
Quote by -Mark Cuban
“Entrepreneurs have to be brutally honest with themselves and recognize where they have added value and where they have gone along for the ride.”
Quote by -Mark Cuban
“Sweat equity is the most valuable equity there is. Know your business and industry better than anyone else in the world. Love what you do or don’t do it.”
Quote by -Mark Cuban
“Focus on building the best possible business. If you are great, people will notice and opportunities will appear.”
Quote by -Mark Cuban
“Once you have found out what you love to do, there is only one goal: How can you be the best in the world at it. It doesn’t matter if you are a filing clerk, athlete, accountant, or bartender. All that matters is that you do whatever you can to be the best.”
Quote by -Mark Cuban
“Know how your company will make money and how you will make sales.” – Mark Cuban
Quote by -Mark Cuban
“If you’re looking where everybody else is looking, you’re looking in the wrong spot.”
Quote by -Mark Cuban
“Your biggest enemies are your bills. The more you owe, the more you stress. The more you stress over bills, the more difficult it is to focus on your goals. More importantly, if you set your monthly income requirements too high, you eliminate a significant number of opportunities. The cheaper you can live, the greater your options.”
Quote by -Mark Cuban
“In my opinion, right now, there’s way too much hype on the technologies and not enough attention to the real businesses behind them.”
Quote by -Mark Cuban
“The one person who you should never believe when it comes to evaluating your abilities is you. The very worst judge of your abilities is you. Self-evaluation is never successful. When you are the best at something, the demand for your services will grow. People want to hire the best. They want to be associated with the best.”
Quote by -Mark Cuban
“Being rich is a good thing. Not just in the obvious sense of benefiting 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.”
Quote by -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.”
Quote by -Mark Cuban
“It’s not about money or connections, it’s the willingness to outwork and outlearn everyone when it comes to your business. And if it fails, you learn from what happened and do a better job next time.”
