Excerpt From Entrepreneur.com article Mark Cuban: Outwork and Outlearn Your Competition

Entrepreneur: What’s key to being successful as a technology entrepreneur?

Cuban: Busting your ass. It’s not about money or connections — it’s the willingness to outwork and outlearn everyone when it comes to your business. And if it fails, you learn from what happened and do a better job next time.

As I say in my book, “it doesn’t matter how many times you fail. You only have to be right once and then everyone can tell you that you are an overnight success.”
