Let's review Mark Cuban's career shall we

Son of an automobile upholsterer
Sold garbage bags door to door to pay for an expensive pair of basketball shoes at age 12 (Trump delivered papers from the back of Daddy's chauffeured car)
Skipped senior year of high school to attend Univ. of Pittsburgh
Went to Inidian U because it was the best business school at the price
Bartended
Got fired from a job because he didn't open the store one day while trying to make a sale
Created his own software company without knowing code or even owning a computer
Made unbelievable sales promises and then stayed up for nights on end (learning code) to meet the deal
Created then sold Broadcast.com (he wanted to hear IU basketball games in Dallas) for almost a billion dollars - no negotiation, yahoo made an offer and he said "I can work with that"

Aaaand we all know the rest of the story
