15 Motivational Mark Cuban Quotes on Hard Work and Success

Co-founder of Broadcast.com and owner of NBA’s Dallas Mavericks, Mark Cuban is an American business man, investor and entrepreneur.

Growing up in the suburb of Mount Lebanon in a working-class family, Cuban has been a natural businessman. At the age of 12, he wanted a pair of expensive basketball shoes so bad that he started selling garbage bags door to door to afford them.


Mark held a variety of jobs before having his breakthrough with MicroSolutions, including a bartender. The idea of creating the computer consulting service came after a dispute with a former employer who was rather concerned with Mark cleaning the place than closing an important sale.

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.
Know your core competencies and focus on being great at them.
