An Excellent Article From Mark Cuban's Early Blog

[db7903915]

We've all read Mark Cuban's "You only have to be right once", but have you read the full article?

In basketball you have to shoot 50pct. If you make an extra 10 shots per hundred, you are an All-Star. In baseball you have to get a hit 30 pct 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, the odds are a little different. You don't have to break the Mendoza line (hitting .200). In fact, it doesnt matter how many times you strike out. In business, to be a success, you only have to be right once.

The original was more expanded, as you can see. Hope it motivates you to keep trying!

You should read his book - http://www.amazon.com/dp/B006AX6ONI/?tag=tff-amazonparser-20 - it's put together from most of his blog posts and kind of glued together with his story. Very good read!
