This video has two parts to it, and to watch the other part, I have to visit their website. For that reason, I'm out.
lmao.... shark tank!
I’m willing to go half with you if you jump back in?? 😂🤣
Out too
YES! For that reason EVERYONE GO THUMBS DOWN THE VIDEO!!!
and you still have to find where is part 2
So basically, the key to success is not playing by the rules.
More like playing by your own rules. But actually it's about knowing what you want and knowing how to get it.
Mark Cuban got lucky on one deal in the dot com bubble, selling a now defunct website to Yahoo for billions. Meh.
there is no key to success, it's a marketing tool to convince you to buy their items.
and being blessed with above average intelligence doesn't hurt. I don't think most people can do what Mark did but I hope I'm wrong?
BRBallin1 as the rules are literally there to keep you a slave
He sounds like a great employee, who had terrible (but typical) bosses.
True
Agree, you're suppoused to do whats best for the company, not for your bosses interest
Nope, bad employee. When you want to do what you want to do then you need to start your own company.
@@louisj6399 I disagree
Some bosses end up firing good employees like that because they're afraid nothing will stop them from one day taking their job or surpassing them
Either someone will hire you to build their dream Or you build your own dream
I have learned through experience your statement is indeed true.
Or no one will hire you....
What happens if you don’t have a dream?
Yup
@@HakunaMatata-gh1le just set some goals you don't necessarily need a dream lol
I honestly see Mark Cuban as my business mentor. He was determined to succeed by all means and he did. Now, he is enjoying his life.
slidejones so if you constantly get fired from your job you are most likely better off owning your own business?
Yes, so you already know. If you get fired constantly and if you dont start your own business, how will you make a living?
Self explanatory
+David Henriquez only if you're already doing a better job than the guy/girl who fired you. if you got fired because you don't care about your job to begin with you probably don't want to start your own business doing it!
+slidejones Lol 90+% of new businesses fail so good luck.
If someone has nothing new to offer than a donut shop, good luck making money.
It's refreshing to hear people admit to being shit employees. I was one of them for over a decade! The funny thing is, my last job was as a VP of Product Development at a Law Firm. I couldn't figure out why people were giving me the opportunities. It eventually boiled down to the fact that I'm great at maintaining relationships and sales but awful at office politics, process, and had a tendency to question authority DAILY. My MBA was a 120k work permit lol. I now work for myself and am SEVERELY underpaid like BARELY higher than minimum wage BUT I'm happy as fuck and my schedule is built around my life and what's important to me and my family. Money isn't everything but it certainly helps. I wasn't willing to wait until retirement to enjoy life. I know it will be a few more years until I can close the financial gap but trudging into an office building everyday is not the way I want to live.
amen
You ever want to make any real money, you have to work for yourself . Going by rules of building someone's business and making barly enough to survive doesn't work for me. I'll always continue to work for myself.
Love how he isn’t afraid to curse as well as explain his misdeeds or mischief while explaining his story. I love hearing the raw story to success, not the boring, LinkedIn version!
"An entrepreneur is someone who jumps off of a cliff and builds a parachute on the way down." This is the temperament of most business owners. They are compulsive, relentless and driven. Not a healthy behavior for sure, but they want to get things done and enjoy later.
amazing
Hence, why a lot of successful youtubers and business owners have ADHD
Great business strategies, but not great for relationship or other pursuits. Good tool to use
I read his book/pdf, 'How to win in the sport of business'
That man has a great story :)
Clearly, hasn't taught you anything about grammar. Try having a go at the oxford dictionary!
Harshil Patel Can you provide the link?
it is a great story for sure!
Thanks for sharing cant wait to read it
@@canemre7004 His sentence is just about perfect. Don't be a grammar Nazi. Also, Oxford Dictionary doesn't give a person any idea about grammar you dumbass..
"there's a time in every entrepreneur's life where he realizes, this is his calling. that he can't bring himself to work for anybody else".
I am now 33.. and I literally JUST had this enlightenment. It's literally a sincere realization type of thing.
The job I just had recently just set me free.. had nothing to do with my work ethic.. I was simply better than the management, and they didn't like that. (Almost) everyone liked me.. but them.
But me being released was a (huge) blessing in disguise..
PickUpYourHeart How you doin now
How you doin now
(Sighs) guys I just sat here for at least 20 minutes and wrote up a great and elaborate reply/update and posted it but some stupid effin glitch is not showing it now. I put so much genuine energy into it and i just can't bring myself to write it up again.
Long story short. I'm doing well. My comment proved true and I'm a Spiritual Life Coach; youngmasterguru.
Sorry I ain't writing the full thing again. That burns...
Cheers
Same here brother, Im 33 now and just had that realization a couple months ago. Feel like a new man with my new game dev studio now!
My question is this. Now that Mark is the 'big boss,' how does he treat an employee that had the same traits as he did when he was an employee?
Tech entrepreneur CEOs have a very different mindset than middle management.
I can guarantee Mark Cuban would likely encourage that employee to work harder within the company. Instead of encouraging some hierarchy of power.
I think he tries to motivate them I remember him saying he gives stocks to employees so they'll want to work harder
it is not smart to fire an employee who is dedicated to make YOU more money. it`s fear of loosing control.
@@tmotom4476 it is when they’re incompetent / bad for moral / etc etc etc
@@Showmetheevidence- if that's the case, you're right.
Working for someone else is always always slavery. Period the end. Those who don't realize it now, will pay dearly.
I love how honest Mark Cuban is.
I needed to hear this for a long time , thank God I found this Chanel!
I had a similar experience, that causes me to move from dedication to carelessness, and now I'm doing great
That was awesome. Definitely watch the full thing if you have time.
*@ **3:03** “I was a shytty azz employee” LMAO* 😂
I went through the same thing with my all my bosses. They limit your responsibilities and therefore limit my potential just so they can have the satisfaction of knowing that I did exactly what they told me to do. Now read this carefully but usually, I was assigned dumb things when people of less capability were assigned the jobs I preferred. Sure you can argue that have I done these things I would have been assigned the jobs I wanted to do. But for a long time I did and I still saw people get assigned the jobs I wanted to do.
I started to notice and it was evident that they were playing favorites. They would ask me to do this meaningless task that needed to be done because everyone else was either slow at it or just didn't do so well. So fire them or write them up? no let's just have them do the better task.
I then started to refuse these task like everyone else and was put into the position that I wanted in the first place and the new people did the task we all didn't want to do. I had a few minutes of satisfactions and then realized this may work for this job but I can't carry this habit to my career, immediately I quit.
Its not that I can't work for someone else its that I can't work somewhere that promotes bad work ethics. Life has been amazing since.
Josue rodriguez genuinely interested in what you're doing now. I'm in the same situation now. I've demanded more responsibility,I've demanded a better position, and honestly I just thinks my boss feels I'm a direct threat to him. I won't get any of these without putting in a year of meaningless work, all just to make $2 more dollars an hour. Scree that. Don't waste me time.
Law #1 Never outshine the master
Kwakeka Mdivasi actually yeah that law is in the Shmucks guideline rule book. The only way to become a master IS TO OUTSHINE another master. BAsed on your comment you'll always be a follower never a leader (rich)
When you're wired for excellence, sometimes it's hard to not outshine the master.
Who in their right mind would wanne serve a master with a fragile ego ?
Don't get me wrong it is very human to have weak spots everybody has them .
But when it comes to business If somebody is not discplined enough to keep their ego in check.
Can you not see the treachery that lies ahead if you decide to go down a path that was paved by that kinda of person.
Personally I don't care how rude or bullying a person is to me as long as there is mutual respect we are good to go . Beacuse if it's is about winning with style
there won't be any energy left to cater to my own ego let alone someone's else's.
So always best to do your due diligence on somebody before deciding to going on journey with them especially if the outcome of the journey is uncertain.
That is why I think a consultant is the best way foward for certain ppl who have a certain kinda mindset.
Beacuse you can present what you think is the best way foward to person/ organization get your money and be out and it will be up to them whether they implement the changes needed or not. And if the ship sinks you won't be on it.
And always have side business cuz if that goes tits up you can't blame anyone but yourself.
Ppl are very complicated as they are already and when you add money,ego, power and prestige into the mix prepare your self for a toxic mixture that can blow up anytime for the pettyiest of reasons.
That is why ppl promote
Sayings like "don't outshine the master" and host of other philosophies that are really counter producktive in this day and age .
These ait the middle ages when rulers where thought of as gods or if not atlest had his phone number.
Such a stupid book . Truly Powerful individuals normally aren’t seeking to be powerful
Success is opportunities taken.
I can’t work for someone. I don’t know why but I can’t stand it because I always figure out flaws
I retired from the military after 23 years in 2015. I saw guys like him who were crappy soldiers lol! They did a few years, got out and did well for themselves. I guess I was wired to be a good employee. At age 49 I finally saw the light and work for myself now. No longer work for money. It works for me. 👍
I feel the exact way now!!!
Right great video !!!!motivation
Shouts to Mark Cuban , a pure hustler
The entrepreneurs are the kids in school that think schools a joke. I've always known that I never wanted to abide by the rules and become an average person
true
Same here. I couldn't stand being in school being told what to do all the time.
Bryson and now you flip burgers
charlie c typical wagecuck response
charlie c 85% of burger flippers have a high school diploma. It ain't a losers only job anymore.
Your life is not about rules you make your own rules and choose what you wanna be
Those ideals get a lot of people thrown in jail
...and take full responsibility for your actions.
Mark has a great business mind.
Some people just have that entrepreneurial system and desire built into them. They don't work well with "bosses" and instead would rather become a Leader. That is what makes a great business, its Leaders. Anyone can be a boss, but it takes a certain person to be a Leader. What advice do you have for those looking for Leadership?
You have to be born with leadership qualities. Sure, you can try to practice leadership all you want, but the best leaders are born leaders. It's in their blood. If you aren't born with leadership qualities, you have to start practicing them at a young age. If you get to the age of 30 and you don't have leadership qualities, sorry but you're going to be a follower the rest of your life. It's unfortunate, but it's reality.
Com Ment nah I think that people that believe one is born with leadership abilities are the ones that fail. Although one can be raised to be a leader it'll be easier for them in the future but if they never had that advantage, leadership abilities can still be achieved with dedication, hard work,and slow but steady growth
+Com Ment put all things in the hands of Jesus Christ
@@davidaragon687 amen!
@@comment305 No you don't have to be born with leadership qualities, anyone can train and become better leaders. Some just have more natural leadership skills than others. And I bet you 1 mill you don't have any sources to back up your blunt statements.
If you're in doubt whether you should do the same, just listen to what your conscience is telling you. Your conscience is always right.
Im currently in the phase of being a shitty employee and tbh i am trying, but then i see how little the boss gives a damn about what i want and how i can change things, that im thinking of starting my own thing, i might and will fail but at least ill be working towards my dream to be my own boss.
I felt the same way. Finished college. Had a job in college and after college. I was a great employee but I would still do things MY way. I always had trouble being bossed around simply because nobody knew my job position better than me and figured why should somebody less educated in my position tell me what to do? Now i'm a cryptocurrency and stock trader, and a personal trainer, as well as starting my PhD soon.
cryptocurrency and stock trader lmao are you almost homeless
Baran ikr
So you are basically a full on loser, lol.
And Chapeau for the video and Motivation.😍😍😍😘
I really believe that entrepreneurship is my calling in life. I dnt have a choice but to start a legacy by building multinational corporations.
Im gonna start a brothel
Yup, you and the other 238k people who watched this video lol
Sitt Paing Hmu that's precisely what a staffing agency is
cedric mayfield Hey Cedric I just want to say 3 years later I hope that you are still on your entrepreneurial journey and successful!!!!!
So how it's going?
Something I picked up on was Cuban saying” he didn’t have credit. He had to build credit.” I find that funny since there’s also a video of him says only idiots take out loans to start a business .
you are a hero 2 me... hustling your way your whole life... Im great full for your successes... go MAV's
casey o'meara I
I keep getting this video recommended to me; I wonder why?
Im deciding whether or not to become a doctor but I truly believe my calling is in business. I just don’t have no idea of which business would be a good one
Chris Burke, if you think your calling is business then do every future patient of yours a favor and be a business man. Otherwise you'll just be another crappy doctor 'practicing' something you have no passion for and not only will you possibly hate your job but your patients will hate YOU. You're welcome.
Love it!
Figured this out due to my disdain for corporate hierarchy.
This is super dope
When he got the idea about buying toothpaste in bulk when they're on sale.
Cuban is the poster child for getting a lucky break in life
“ He was”
Enlightening. I did not know Mark got fired twice early in his career.
Not surprising, many great entrepreneurs have histories of getting fired from jobs and having a hard time fitting into a job and other things that society deems "normal." Entrepreneurs know that life is too short to take orders and be somebody else's leverage, so they start businesses.
elviscash56 I just got fired. I'll be a billionaire, right!? :))
Fails change your name man holy shit why would you do that?
This is me I’m a terrible employee but when I work for my customers it’s quick efficient and I always give more then I take I’m happy their happy, I’m thinking a lot of entrepreneurs don’t make good employees
That was one hell of an abrupt ending. Where can I see the rest of this interview?

I 100% get him. In a similar situation (not a billionaire though ..I wish ). There is way too much work place politics these days which does more harm then good
Two years later I agree. I’m resigning from a job at the end of the month.

you are smart boy
I was underpaid and got half my normal pay for the same amount of hours for no reason, which is why I’m can’t be working for people
Love this perspective
Him and I both.
I worked for a bank outta college too. I left to produce a play
*I was looking for a job then I found a job. Lord knows I’m miserable now.*
He was a great employee but just like everywhere you go work you cannot live up to you’re full potential cause someone will always dictate you that’s why self employed is the best feeling in the world
He chose wisely
Stay with cha
Yep, I've been through the "you work for me/you need to check with me first" crap too...can't do it, just can't. Now I don't need a multibillion-dollar company a la Mark Cuban and frankly don't even think I would want that (I don't need to be "the man," don't need the headaches, etc.). But what I am doing is getting ready to launch a K - 5 reading tutoring business: Level Up Reading LLC. If there's an elementary age student who isn't reading on grade level, I'll work with them and get them reading on grade level in 12 weeks on average. I'm finishing up working with two students in my community for free (to hone my skills), will work with one more student for free and then I'm launching thereafter.
This is what I do now, there's no plan B and there never will be, that's it.
Best of luck and great success to you🍀🍀🍀
A friend of mine is a good boss,bad employee,he can bid up jobs,create fast money,way faster than a paycheck!!!!

He’s awesome! Most bosses are idiots unfortunately. They should have recognize his ability.

wow hes so down to earth
I have problem with my attitude... towards my boss. Hope i can able to make some money b4 got fired.
Work on your grammar and attitude. Don’t expect to get fired. Don’t hope to make good money. Make a plan to make money.
@@1LIFEtoWIN you're lol
most of this guys are just good sales people, they can just bypass the boss and the company.... most people cant sell like this guys
True, but you do need a lot more than just good selling skills to succeed in business.
How is it irrelevant?
The initial quote "most of this guys are just good sales people". Implying that if you're good at sales you can become a billionaire too.
My statement "you do need a lot more than just good selling skills to succeed in business.".
How you fail to find this relevant to the conversation and fail to comprehend the point I am trying to make I find quite outstanding.
You can be great at selling and absolutely suck at business. The two do not go hand in hand.
I have the same polo T-shirt. I'm going to be a Billionaire.
Mark Cuban would be a hero if he says he would move the mavs out of Texas unless they add gun regulations ! I don't know if sports market are good, but there are plenty of gun regulated places that would love having a basketball team ! Let's go Mark ! Be a super hero ! Politicians won't do anything so billionaires have to !
The perfect example of the American dream: being able to make money while sleeping.
I do agree being an employee for someone else does not progress your own business ventures. Once you start your own business, you are going to need employees to work for you. So I don’t know why people emphasize being an employee is horrible. Theres this big debate that being an employee is a curse & to never be one. How else does everyones business grow without employees ? Those type of statements just don’t make sense sometimes.
Ever heard of partnership? You don't have to employ people to run buisness; you can simply work together with them and then divide up the earnings. Or simply give your workers control over their work (also known as socialism).
@@chiefw101 it’s gonna be the same thing because one person or group is gonna do more than the rest and are gonna feel like they deserve an x amount

probably right around the time he figured he didn''t have to
Mark Cuban embodies Jabba The Hut.
Well that realization comes to everyone once they become rich. Business is not something where you can do everything right, you have to be at the right place at the right time. If not have fun making a risky investment worth hundreds of thousands that might make you broke one day.
I feel the same way Except I’m a dumbass
Good job stealing Ted Talks intro...
Loius Farrakhan said because he is Jewish - The Man”. I never knew. I love Cuban Sandwiches BTW
I’m an awful employee. With that said that’s why I can’t work for anyone lol
He's still working to please his shareholders, technically...
Not hard to see the employers in these examples were not forward thinking people
