At Age 25 Mark Cuban Learned Lessons About Leadership That Changed His Life
- hello_newman 14y agoI think Mark Cuban is a great inspiration. He is very humble, knows his roots, isn't trying to impress anybody, and is a "normal" guy. He doesn't have the flashy this or that qualifications, but what he does have is the most important; drive, commitment, and the ability to get shit done. That's an entrepreneur. I also love the part at the bottom of paragraph 13: "The place was run by this kid who was younger than I was. We sat down and talked for a few hours. I was really impressed by him. I remember telling him, “Dude, I think we’re both going places.” That “dude” was Michael Dell." It's funny because I read about them meeting before. It just kind of shows you to remember and keep in touch with people you meet along your journey. You never know who may be able to help you, but you don't go into with the attitude of "how can this person help me"? You go into with the attitude of this guy is doing his own thing and snapping necks and cashing checks along the way. I should grab a beer with him some time. That is how business relationships are made, that is how you network. Not through forced, sleazy, cocktail meet-ups. Great read.
