Book Description

Mark Cuban shares his wealth of experience and business savvy in his first published book, HOW TO WIN AT THE SPORT OF BUSINESS.

"It's New Year's resolution time, and Mark Cuban's new book offers the rationale for a good one." —BUSINESS INSIDER

Using the greatest material from his popular Blog Maverick, Cuban has collected and updated his postings on business and life to provide a catalog of insider knowledge on what it takes to become a thriving entrepreneur. He tells his own rags-to-riches story of how he went from selling powdered milk and sleeping on friends' couches to owning his own company and becoming a multi-billion dollar success story. His unconventional yet highly effective ideas on how to build a successful business offer entrepreneurs at any stage of their careers a huge edge over their competitors.

"In short, [HOW TO WIN AT THE SPORT OF BUSINESS] exceeded...expectations. Short chapters...got right to the point and were not filled with 'stuffing'." —HUFFINGTON POST

4.0 out of 5 stars Compilation of Blogs; good read - genuine advice 1 April 2013
By The Finance Guy UK
Format:Kindle Edition
I read a book I didn't expect to like by Mark Cuban: "How to Win at the Sport of Business".

Cuban is the billionaire businessman and owner of the Dallas Mavericks NBA team. The book is an accumulation of blogs he has written, and at less than £2 and a light read it's pretty good. He's a bit of an "I" specialist, but he's earnt that.

Here's a few quotes I liked:

"There is always a caveat to destiny, and that's obligation. The greatest obstacle to destiny is debt, both personal and financial. The more people you are obligated to, the harder it is to focus on yourself and figure things out. I'm also a big believer that financial debt is the ultimate dream killer. Your first house, car, whatever you might want to buy, is going to be the primary reason you stop looking for what makes you the happiest. How crazy is it to settle for a house, car or X over what it is you would like to do on an hourly or daily basis? Never settle. There is no reason to rush. If you aren't happy with where you are, simplify your life and go out and try as many things as it takes to find what you may be destined to be. If there is such a thing."

"In basketball you have to shoot 50 percent. If you make an extra 10 shots per hundred, you are an All-Star. In baseball you have to get a hit 30 percent of the time. If you get an extra 10 hits per hundred at bats, you are on the cover of every magazine, lead off every SportsCenter and make the Hall of Fame. In business, to be a success, you only have to be right once. One single time and you are set for life. That's the beauty of the business world. Then everyone can tell you how lucky you are."

"Far more often than not, raising cash is the biggest mistake you can make. Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 stars This for few pounds???? NO-BRAINER 15 Feb. 2014
By corrado Garofalo
Format:Kindle Edition|Verified Purchase
As the author clarifies at the very beginning this is not meant to be a "book" in an organic way; it is more a collection of autobiographical episodes, business tips and advice and a general outllok on the world of technology.
Yet, there is plenty to enjoy.
I would not have a huge interest in either business or technology and still found this book fascinating.
Cuban guides us through hilarious stunts from his youth, funny anectodes on the computer world's sacred monsters (B. Gates, M. Dell) and his initial achievements and setbacks as a start-up with a remarkable crispy style. Excellent reading.
The sections on advice for entreprenuers and general views on the business/technology world are, of course, less entertaining and the style is not quite as original but still you find gems of inspiration and sublime insights on the mental approach to competition.
Definitely worth a lot more than it costs.
Would recommend STRONGLY.

5.0 out of 5 stars awesome. 7 Nov. 2013
By Stuart green
Format:Kindle Edition|Verified Purchase
Wakey wakey.
Really glad I read this book. Short. Blunt. True.
Never heard of the author before I found this but glad I did. More of a long winded mantra but one based on fun common sense.

4.0 out of 5 stars short and sweet 10 Sept. 2013
By bb101
Format:Kindle Edition|Verified Purchase
getting insights from any billionaire is time well spent if your looking to understand how people can start from nothing and make something of themselves. this book will give you a good insight into some of the mindsets and action you need to take to get the ball rolling in the right direction. Mark Cuban comes across and a ordinary guy that made big things happen, and that you could do the same thing to.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thanks Mark 9 May 2014
By Prash J
Format:Kindle Edition|Verified Purchase
The guy is a genius and unlike most biographies, no self glorification. Despite him being an arrogant guy in real life, Mark keeps that aside for this book and comes right to the point and candidly shares his secrets. I am sure he has more secrets to his name but this book doesn't waste a minute of the readers time in hunky dory.
