MARK CUBAN QUOTES

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.
SWEAT EQUITY IS THE MOST VALUABLE EQUITY THERE IS..KNOW YOU BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY BETTER THAN ANYONE ELSE IN THE WORLD. LOVE WHAT YOU DO OR DON’T DO IT.
BECAUSE 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.
I DON’T CARE WHAT ANYONE SAYS. BEING RICH IS A GOOD THING.
WHEN YOU’VE GOT 10.000 PEOPLE TRYING TO DO SAME THING, WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO BE NUMBER 10,001?

MARK CUBAN PICTURE QUOTE

WORK LIKE THERE IS SOMEONE WORKING 24 HOURS A DAY TO TAKE IT ALL AWAY FROM YOU.
