The best thing I like about Mark Cuban is that he openly and unabashedly acknowledges that luck played a big role in his success.
-
"Mark Cuban: How I became a billionaire" Not interviewed for the story: Mark Cuban.
-
The level of awareness he has is awesome. At least he knows he is the luckiest man, giving credit to faith rather than himself. That shows intelligence and humility.
-
“Mark Cuban got in at the beginning of the internet boom”. There you have it lol.
-
I've never understood how Yahoo could be so big when no one is using it
-
Those who are saying Elon Musk is better have to realize that this isn't a popularity contest. If you want to be successful, you have to learn from ALL great people, not just one. EVERYONE has something we can learn.
-
His hair is a different color in every video-- and for that reason, I'm out.
-
Cuban is humble enough to admit luck and timing play a huge role. Persistence, attitude, vision and 100 hour weeks are always prerequisites however.
-
At least Mark Cuban recognizes he was very fortunate, the timing of his internet based companies was rather impressive.
-
At 3:50 Mark took a 50k loan from the guy. At another video, Marks brutally says "If you start a business with loan, you're a moron". Mark, I am so confused.
-
When you invest you're buying a day you don't have to work.
-
This isn't rocket science. Yahoo grossly overpaid for his Internet broadcast network in the days of dialup. They over paid by such a huge margin that they were all fired because of it. That sale alone made him a billionaire and after you make your first billion making your second becomes much much easier.
-
So Mark Cuban stole the idea of AudioNet just as Mark Zuckerberg stole the idea of Facebook. The Lesson: Dont pitch your business idea to a Mark.
-
I once knew a woman who made her husband millionaire. Unfortunately he was billionaire before.
-
Making millions is easy. Earning $1 billion is just becoming a millionaire 1000 times!
-
1:11 He humbly says he's lucky, but we all know that luck falls into the laps of those who are most prepared
-
Mark Cuban was lucky enough that Yahoo was stupid enough to throw money at that crap like a lot of companies did during boom. And they all lost a lot of money also.
-
What are people talking about luck for? He earned it. He was there at the right place at the right time because his whole life he had basically been preparing for it. He was smart. He invested the time and the money into the internet and he got it. All these people talking about luck are kidding themselves. You make your own luck for fuck sake, hard work does it.

5:19: "My brother, who I will always talk up because I need his handouts, hired me, a trained lawyer, as a stock boy. Oh, gosh, bless him!"
