How to Win at the Sport of Business: If I Can Do It, You Can Do It

by Mark Cuban

You are still in school. You don’t need to have all the answers or focus on one thing. You should be trying a lot of things until you find the one thing you really love to do and are good at. When that happens, you will be able to focus. Being focused at 21 is way overrated. Now is the time to screw up, to try as many different things as you can and just maybe figure things out. The thing you do need to do is learn. Learn accounting. Learn finance. Learn statistics. Learn as much as you can about business. Read biographies about businesspeople. You don’t have to focus on one thing, but you have to create a base of knowledge so you are ready when it’s time. You never know when that time will come. But you can be ready when it does. You never know, you might end up in the adventure business!
