Most people in their 20s already have their weekends booked out for bar hopping and hanging with friends, but one CEO lived a very different life in his youth. When billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban launched his first technology company at just 24, trips to Bora Bora weren’t on the table.
“I was living, six guys in a three-bedroom apartment, which wasn’t great. It was a sh-thole,” Cuban said.
But experiencing rock bottom lit the match to finally invest all his time into building his technology business into a million-dollar success. Without a 9-to-5 to report to or a financial safety blanket to back him up, Cuban made it his mission to work night and day until the venture took off.
“Those people who put in the time are going to crush it.”
“Work your ass off, learn everything you can, and stay adaptable,” Cuban’s AI chatbot responded. “Success rarely happens overnight, but persistence and smart decisions can get you there.”
