@@magnafire1 exactly. The man literally said he's never had a mentor, which is not only arrogant, it's ignorant. Like he learned to tie his shoes on his own when he learned to walk -- then immediately went to the bank to open a checking account. Of course... I'm not sitting on a stage having people fawn all over me so...
@@jaym2112 It makes him sound ridiculous, I agree. Like he thinks he is everyone's mentor and has none but in reality he would not be where he is at and for all his mentors he didn't mention, they should have never wasted their time on him. Cuban was hungry so he prevailed but his arrogance about it makes me respect him less for his lack of humility in spite of whatever anyone thinks he means. If Warren Buffet could say he had a mentor, Cuban sounds stupid saying he had none (everyone does) whether they acknowledge it or not. I'm a mentor to some in my field and they are my mentor in another field. That isn't to hard to admit and can even go as far as saying I have had younger mentors than me.
best thing every. most "mentors" are there only to make money off you. figure it out yourself, that how all true people like mark, and many many others did it. Bill gates was a small boy when he started lesrning about software.
A mentor is just someone with more experience, with whom you get along, and can help you avoid the mistakes others have made. They can also act as a sounding board and motivation. Mark Cuban may not have had an official mentor, but he's had parents, friends, business partners, advisors, investors - people who gave him advice on how to succeed.
My mentor never provides me with answers, he would only ever provide a different way of thinking, a different perspective. I think everybody can grow from that.
My takeaway is that there's nothing wrong with mentorship. It's just not something Mark subscribes to given his personality. It's like different routes to the same goal. Either way, it's about learning from first-hand and/or second-hand experience and applying it to your own path. Application is key.
Exactly....this is dumb lol. No one goes to a mentor or business advisor for everything. It's for specific challenges and problems and that doesn't even mean that you listen to them it's just to illuminate different approaches to the problem
@@hassanqayyum8954 Then that's not a mentor that's just an advisor whose opinion you value. A mentor is typically someone you view as being superior to yourself in some way and for that reason you go to them to be taught what to do.
@@NK-iw6rq Lol it has nothing to do with being weak minded. Mentors are for people who are maybe new to an industry and could use some advice regarding different situations. If you only ever lead the way and you start to become successful then you will eventually hit a wall; all success experiences this. If you haven’t hit wall yet then you aren’t as successful as you could be. When you hit this wall it’s helpful to have someone you can reach out to that you trust and can ask questions to overcome the problem.
Yes, but some things need to be learned by yourself, other wise the leanings don't have the depth an weight required to move forward as successfully as you could have.
I'm 35, 14 years in. Business is a battlefield. I never realized it at the time but I had two mentors that built me. These were brutal, kind hearted men. I'm absolutely appreciative of my ruthless work ethic instilled into me. I wouldn't have had the courage to continue down the gnarly path of entrepreneurship without it. I surpassed both their wealth eleven years ago and I'm only just getting started as an actual professional. A specialist in my industry. Thank God and god bless the wealthy.
@@iamasmurf1122 an ego centric douchebag? Isn't building a business a competition? If so competition from the roots is a fight of smarts, wits, and egos. In my limited understanding it's in the roots of what it means to be a man
@Aimane eb if you want to succeed you have to find business men you admire and respect. I get alot of my daily courage from watching Grant Cardone. He's all about never giving up which is often tempting to do on your toughest journey which is becoming financially free. Also you have to understand why you want to torture yourself to do it. If it's just for money you likely won't succeed and will be destroyed as a selfish person with no target. You have to be guarded but compassionate and have passion for your industry. Study all those in your field. The winners and the losers. Learn from them and dominate your industry with new ideas, long days, hard work. Whatever it takes. And pay it forward as you go. Success is your duty. And remember you can't help your family or anyone else in the world if you can't even help yourself. Grind!!!!
Mentor is everyone who responds those questions you didn't know you have to ask or might inspire you to do something you wouldn't plan on your own. Your current mentor could be a good book, someone on the street, your old teacher's memories, a celebrity on TV. However, it truly helps when someone takes their time to give you from what they have.
Sometimes, I don't think that Cuban believes the things he says in public. I once heard him say that connections are not that important in business and that it's ALL about hard work. Yes, hard work is definitely necessary, but to dismiss connections is nonsense. And I think he knows it. Same with what he is saying here about mentors.
Most of them either dropped out of school or resigned from work, they love doing things their own way, no teacher, no boss, no mentor. They are the kind that would say you can't teach me a thing because you ain't who I want to become. 😂😂😂
"Success in life is the result of good judgement. Good judgement is usually the result of experience. And experience is usually the result of bad judgement." Tony Robbins
Mentorship isn't for everyone, especially if you have a huge ego that you are not willing to give up or if you are looking for a cheat sheet. I've been hustling all my life, building businesses, and diving into different industries from restaurants, golf tech to health tech... I never thought I needed a mentor because I always tried to figure it out on my own and learn from everyone I could. A few years ago, I encountered a mentor who's shared very similar views and I felt that he's built his business in better ways than I could ever imagine. I used to have a huge ego but I knew that may be the pivotal point to take a step back to listen and observe for once. So I decided to take a pause on my entrepreneurship endeavor and joined his team. It's been quite a deep roller coaster ride so far, breaking through my old self for new growth...it's not easy but that makes it even more of a rewarding experience. I do not have the same answers as my mentor does, but I can understand and respect them. I have a new set of answers of my own... and this whole experience allowed me to open my mind to find them. My own, customized answers that makes sense for me. Mentorship isn't about seeking for answers. It's about your ability and willingness to embrace a new way of looking at things through the mind of someone who's already been there.
A mentor is never a bad thing. Its why rich families stay rich. They pass the knowledge down to their kids. Sure you can go in blind and it can work out, but its even easier for things to go terribly simply due to ignorance.
Well said! You should probably check this one out! Reasons To Seek Out A Mentor - THE RESULTS ARE STAGGERING!! ruclips.net/video/CYlM5N3MeOI/видео.html
It depends on the type of person and history you have. I am going to say on a whim that people with mentors start before or around their early 20s before too much unavoidable tragedy hits their life or before they have too many failures. Maybe not always the case but someone I look up to had a mentor since around 19 I believe and if I started that early maybe I wouldnt have struggled so much with motivation. Some people see success before they have a mentor and that gives them more potential to succeed with a mentor when they start with one because they have had some success and have drive. The biggest question few people answer is how to start if you have never really succeeded and you dropped out of college and you dont particularly like any whole skillset meaning you dont like doing any mainstream online or alternative business as a sole party. I'm an artist who doesnt like marketing though I know how to do everything. And I've havent followed through many things in life. Thus I'm still trying to overcome these hurtles. Who can help people who have constantly failed to follow through in their life thus far?
There are so many times I expected mentors to be there every step of the way but they only were there when I signed up and that was that. Thanks for having my figure things out on my own.
Hes not cocky. Thats just a "get it done" attitude. Straight forward, get to the point. Thats a strong mindset, however, he knows he needs those opposite him to balance him out, so he is aware of himself.
At the end of the day, you do what works for you. You're going to hear contrasting, conflicting ideas at both extremes, and you cannot differentiate which one is guaranteed to work for you. You do what works for you, everybody has different roads.
He points it for someone who wants to start a business and looking for a Mentor. He’s not saying don’t listen to other people’s advice or seek knowledge. The message is work hard and rely on yourself, teachers will come if you figure something out.
Well, when you define a mentor as someone who tells you what to do, then certainly that's a problem! You need to seek mentors who challenge you and make you think deeply in ways that aren't natural to your style.
This makes sense to me, because it’s not that you aren’t gleaning from someone else’s wisdom or experience, you are by listening, watching, attending conferences, reading etc... but not everyone (myself included) needs someone to follow daily. I take advice from people that don’t even realize they’re giving me, I’m always after growth and wisdom I can apply to my life, I just get it different ways. Some say this is mentorship from a distance, others say it isn’t at all.
True. Guys like Mark Cuban will never spill the beans in a public platform. That’s the reason why the rich stay rich and the poor stay poor. They know stuff but don’t share it. It’s just how it is.
Mentorship is how human have always learned. You learn from someone who is experienced. Self-made person is only there due to the opportunities and ties the person have and of his/her value. The moment those people around stop valuing you or choose not to value you. You no longer have the power. There is no real *self-made*,it is an arrogance.
there are plenty of examples where people are self-made/taught e.g. elon musk's first company zip 2 was able to be made because elon self taught how to code which means no one was specifically teaching him how to code he possibly read books etc but that still means he is self-taught. Knowledge is free especially nowadays saying that no one is self-taught is just ignorant to the possibilities in current society. Doesn't mean he is completely self taught but that first company which made him millions he was indeed self-taught those abilities
Getting a mentor who is genuinely experienced works wonders. Steve Jobs had a mentor (need citation), he was a mentor to Mark Zuckerberg. However getting "mentors" that sell 98$ courses on get rich in 67 steps is where you draw the line.
Dear everyone in the comment section going 'yeah, he's just saying this because.....'. Look for all the cockiness, the guy took good advice. He just chose not to FOLLOW a person because of that advice. That's why he doesn't believe in an all guiding mentor. He obviously learnt skills from others. But that doesn't make the other person a mentor. A mentor is that ONE person you lean on every time you're stuck. But like he said, in tech, even the people who invent things don't know what it may be used for or valued like by society. So it's every man for himself.
I try to always hold both of these truths in my mind at all times: 1. Everyone, and I mean *everyone* is my teacher 2. I have something unique to offer everywhere I go It works pretty well for me. But there's more than one right way to be successful (as well as more than one right way to define success).
I feel sad that even though I am investing, I don't have the brain power to dig through how each company is doing, is this a good time to buy stocks or not. my reserve of $450k is still laying waste to inflation and I don't know what to do at this point.. I need solid data on market trajectory..
I agree, I thought I was doing alright profit wise, until I needed assistance with diversification, I reached out to a financial advisor and in less than a year I was just $51,000 shy away from $850k which is like 7x more than I make on my own..
Laszlo, please tell us how to use this recession to make gains! Grew my reserve of. $115k to over half a million $ btw DEC. 2011 and AUG 2012 but the market is diff now
The adviser I'm in touch with is "Susan Bauer Normansell", she works with Merrill, Pierce, Smith incorporated and interviewed on CNBC Television. You can use something else. for me his strategy works hence my result. she provides entry and exit point for the securities I focus on.
I’ve really been considering arriving at a portfolio-consultant, my 401k and stocks been losing all that it's acquired beginning around 2012.. I'll def look up Susan Bauer Normansell and schedule a call for her to help.. thanks
I disagree. He does not want to admit it. He says he learned from people and listening yo them, I'd say the ones he listened to would categorize as his mentor(s)
When I came here as an immigrant at the age of one I thought everyone was way better than me. I was shy to ask people for help I thought I needed to to learn and get dirty with it myself. Now at 22 with a dealership and a car detailing business that are young businesses with failures on the way but have made my life way better and still killing it!
Dougie I agree dougie but I was raised with immigrants. It’s a different life no excuse but totally different life dougie I totally understand why you would say that.
He's basically saying that leadership isn't necessary. Nonsense.. it starts with a father in the home, discipline, school, the apprenticeship at a skill.. Knowledge and competence does not pass to the next generation of people without LEADERSHIP. The belief otherwise is why the entire economy is on the verge of collapse.
I see people knocking mentorship when guys like Warren Buffet still have mentors to this day. Arguably one of the richest men on the planet has people that still give him advice. Let that sink in. There’s more than one way to accomplish a goal. Everyone’s situation is unique, that’s what makes all these successful people fascinating to listen to. Imagine how boring it’d be if we had a world full of Mark Cubans.
He probably learns from people, gives them their cudos and applies it to his own system so at the end of the day he's the one still APPLYING it. At that point are they a mentor or a small piece to his giant system?
Mentorship is about learning what you don't know from people who have done it before you so you can go out and implement it. It's about time collapsing. Getting where you are to where you want to be in the shortest amount of time. The key is the mentor isn't a friend or family member giving you advice all the while having done nothing to improve their own life, but people who have actually become successful in the endeavors
The best mentors are not the ones who have experienced huge successes. It is those who have failed or experienced very little successes. They tend to be the best mentors because 1 they want to prove themselves and be part of something great that you are building 2 they have made mistakes that could save you and 3 they have the time because not many people ask them for advice.
I love how he said he admires every entrepreneur who has “DONE IT ON THEIR OWN.” There’s nothing worse than a daddy’s boy who was handed everything to get started towards success yet has the audacity to preach to other less fortunate people about “hard work.” Those people make the worst leaders because they have never worked hard to build anything from the ground up. I don’t respect them either. I don’t care who it is.
꧁Ian Moone꧂ well I guess you could say that. But I find it very interesting that people who don’t need any money (from a wealthy family) go out and start a business or work for the family business because they already have all of their needs met forever. Trumps son could be hanging out at the country club partying and banging chicks all day if he wanted to....no need to ever work. You already “made it” when you were born so no need to toil at anything. They already won the lottery. And if you ask just about anyone what is the first thing they’d do if they won the lottery they’d say go to work and quit (or not even show up at all) and stay on permanent vacation. No one says start a company. So I have a respect for someone who comes into wealth and still gets after it....maybe even more so than those that are self made. It seems it would be very difficult to be motivated to do much of anything if you were born rich. Just my two cents.
In this interview, Cuban did not say that he doesn't believe in mentorship (despite the title someone has given the video). He said that he did not have a mentor. Not using something personally is not the same as saying that thing is useless. Cuban mentors the people he invests in on Shark Tank all of the time. A mentor can help people to fill in gaps in knowledge or understanding. They can offer feedback and make suggestions. A mentor can be very much like a coach. Different people will need different levels of mentorship - including some people needing none at all. Some people get enough information and experience during their childhoods that they have a clear vision when they enter adulthood. There isn't one right way. Assess your own situation and have the courage to ask for help if you need it.
You’ll never get anywhere with that thinking. No one ever did. Don’t rationalize the mediocre, go try to create something. What you need to realize is Mark is just a human being just like you.
Well when your grew up poor with everyone in your family being financially ignorant and someone from outside opens your eyes to the world of business and investments it matters. Mark grew up with succesful family members i bet his family where well off some of it has to rub off on him he dint grow up in the ghetto or projects to get that perspective. So yea i had a man that opened my eyes but thats it the rest i been on my own.
You may dislike him or have a different perspective. But the mindsets he has have brought him to this point. Yet, where are you now? Where has your mindset brought you now?
I see what you mean. But you also must consider the 'systematic' realities that create the confounds of these theories and ideas. We think a certain way because life as we know it has been conditioned to be a certain way. So the definition of success, etc.. is defined within those parameters. Outside of that, it could all be different. So for example, there are people who live in the ghettos in different parts of the world. Yes. Individuals have the power to can change their mindsets. But if at the end of the day that mindset conflicts with your environmental demands, say like sell drugs, join a gang, etc., then that mindset of achieving success could get you killed and endanger other lives. So these thought patterns are not black and white and must be viewed in conjunction to the social, economic, political, racial, environmental, and other realities that have been created in our world.
Well... He is a billionaire after all. Can't blame him for feeling so lone wolf about how he gets advice. I guess the higher up you get, the less mentors there are, especially in the billionaire bracket.
From what I’ve heard Mark stoke the idea for his first company (showing real time sports) from a friend like Zuckerburg did. So he had a mentor but won’t acknowledge it bc it would reveal what really happened. Everyone needs a mentor. The minute you pick up a book or watch RUclips you have a mentor.
Your mixing up the meanings of mentorship meaning someone who guides you through a field, industry or life and influence meaning youtube or a book you dumbass I hope you don't mentor or Influence anyone so your raging ignorance doesn't spread
@@mysteriousunknown586 he's right though... Mentorship is active process of guiding you through up & downs of business with proper engagement as per requirement
My mentor saved me from making mistakes and thinking about things differently. However I waited too long to start my business because I thought I need to know things that didn’t matter like I know my business extremely well but I was worried about stupid things like creating an LLC, how to pay myself and stupid stuff like that. I was more than capable of starting my business 10+ years ago and if I did I would have multiple locations by now and could be working from home.
he is absolutely correct. this whole mentor phenomenon is bs. either you go out into he trenches and do it, and learn from mistakes or not. if you need someone else to verify what you do, then your should be in business for yourself
Listening.. sometimes.. can get your head fucked up by them. I've spent enough time listening to know this for a fact. Nowadays, I don't give a fuck what most people say, at all. Everyone is full of shit.
rickydlp yeah but you wont find a real mentor until you really are actually doing what you want to do like be an entrepreneur but right now there is a whole “mentor” industry of people like tai lopez giving out free info for a big price. 99% percent of the mentors you meet are fake and that one percent is almost as of a chance as hitting the lotto
I tell people I actually see my business world like a game. I always loved strategy games, simulation games, etc. Running a company the way I do, I do it exactly like I'm playing a complex and serious game. It's so much fun.
@@aarononthesauce it is foolish to undermine the role luck plays in success on marks level, Yes you can make a good living for yourself if youre hardworking and passionate enough but becoming a billionaire? you have to stupidly hardworking AND stupidly lucky - Doesn't mean it's an excuse to give up tho
@@usamatariq9897 I don’t think mark was referring to becoming a billionaire but being a successful business owner. Almost nobody has the work ethic and confidence required to become a billionaire. That’s why their are very few billionaires
@@aarononthesauce If "anyone" can, then you'd have a bunch of billion airs like himself. Obviously that's not the case. Everyone's circumstances and life challenges and gifts and talents are different. Its not wise to assume or say since you did it, anyone can. Its an old cliche saying that doesn't hold much weight.
I also don't believe in mentors .. mentors narrow your thinking and speak from their perspective ..nobody knows you better than you ...nobody can solve your problems but you
What?! Lol. It has nothing to do with confidence. It's innate ability to do so. Lol. Some has lessor of it because theirs isn't nurtured. And others have more of a knack for it, especially early on.
While he claims he has no mentors that's total horse crap. Every author of every book he has read was a mentor. Mentors help you learn, be more efficient and help you avoid making costly mistakes.
There is some truth to this. Not to split hairs but I think there is a difference between a coach and a mentor. A coach is a glorified cheerleader made to help you stay accountable because of your lack of discipline. The risk, is motivation can fizzle and because you used a crutch, you didnt develop willpower. I can see how this would be bad. But a mentor is someone you can bounce ideas off. Someone you trust and admire that you can align with and listen (not always take) the advice. As my boy Tommy says, "You can pick a good steak by sticking your head up a bulls ass but Id rather take the butchers word for it".
The biggest lie people say is, if i can do it, you can too. Or vise versa. Everyone is different and everyone has their own ways of thinking and own set of skills. For example, if i know i have really bad unstable hands. I wont make it as a surgeon. Even if i tried my very best, i could possibly make it, but i wont be better than someone whos naturally talented and works just as hard at that field. Just because you love something, doesnt mean youre good at it. And just because you hate something, doesnt mean you suck at it. I hate washing the dishes. But i know i can wash these dam dishes better than anyone else ive met. Haha. This why when you put 20 people in a room and give them one hard task, there will always be 1 or 2 people who stands up and takes charge and the rest follow. Why? Because everyone wasnt built to be leaders. Natural born leaders are leaders without realizing it. All the really rich people are rich not because they just wanted to, they've always had that business mindset. They were always built that way. Its not hard to figure out what youre good at. In school, the majors that you Ace with the least effort is your strengths. For me, science came EASY. Physics, chemistry, forestry, animals, biology... it was common sense to me. Can take one glance at a leaf and know what tree it is or hear a frog croak and know what frog it is, but i cant understand a book writen by a pychopath and write a 12 page essay on why madame ate poison to get away from her loyal husband or husbands. Im good at science. I hate reading(fiction) and writing about it. I love math(but it doesnt come natural to me). The best option for me to become rich to pursue a career related to science. But i dont LOVE LOVE science, so i cant fully work on it with passion. I love all things with math. But it takes me 1 day to figure out a problem and it takes my buddy 10 secs. The rich people always do the things they hate. Its what theyre good at and its what puts money in their bank so they can invest in the things they love. But like me and many people, we want a fun loving life. We chase what we love. We want to do things we love. So we stay away from things we hate. Even if we know we are good at it.
I used to think you could have one mentor but later realized that there’s no limit. I have a few, Jim Rohn, Tony R., Rich Froning, Brandon Turner... Michael Jordan had coaches and his father for mentors. If you’ve ever been inspired by a book and utilized the info then the author is somewhat your mentor.
When two old men in suits interview you from left and right and you’re only wearing a casual shirt and jeans that’s when you know you are so rich that you don’t need to give a flying f*** to what the society expects lol Mark Cuban is a living legend and inspiration to many!!

Study all those in your field. The winners and the losers. Learn from them and dominate your industry with new ideas, long days, hard work. Whatever it takes. And pay it forward as you go. Success is your duty. And remember you can't help your family or anyone else in the world if you can't even help yourself. Grind!!!!

Mentor is everyone who responds those questions you didn't know you have to ask or might inspire you to do something you wouldn't plan on your own.
Your current mentor could be a good book, someone on the street, your old teacher's memories, a celebrity on TV.
However, it truly helps when someone takes their time to give you from what they have.
Sometimes, I don't think that Cuban believes the things he says in public. I once heard him say that connections are not that important in business and that it's ALL about hard work. Yes, hard work is definitely necessary, but to dismiss connections is nonsense. And I think he knows it. Same with what he is saying here about mentors.
Most of them either dropped out of school or resigned from work, they love doing things their own way, no teacher, no boss, no mentor. They are the kind that would say you can't teach me a thing because you ain't who I want to become. 😂😂😂
Abanikanda what’s the problem with that brother? I feel like I might have this problem.

"Success in life is the result of good judgement. Good judgement is usually the result of experience. And experience is usually the result of bad judgement." Tony Robbins
Mentorship isn't for everyone, especially if you have a huge ego that you are not willing to give up or if you are looking for a cheat sheet. I've been hustling all my life, building businesses, and diving into different industries from restaurants, golf tech to health tech... I never thought I needed a mentor because I always tried to figure it out on my own and learn from everyone I could. A few years ago, I encountered a mentor who's shared very similar views and I felt that he's built his business in better ways than I could ever imagine. I used to have a huge ego but I knew that may be the pivotal point to take a step back to listen and observe for once. So I decided to take a pause on my entrepreneurship endeavor and joined his team. It's been quite a deep roller coaster ride so far, breaking through my old self for new growth...it's not easy but that makes it even more of a rewarding experience. I do not have the same answers as my mentor does, but I can understand and respect them. I have a new set of answers of my own... and this whole experience allowed me to open my mind to find them. My own, customized answers that makes sense for me. Mentorship isn't about seeking for answers. It's about your ability and willingness to embrace a new way of looking at things through the mind of someone who's already been there.
Wow what a great message
The best mentor I found in my life is failure. It’s about picking up yourself after and KEEP GOING. Every single fucking time.
i like that
PastorNolte I like you. 👊

A mentor is never a bad thing. Its why rich families stay rich. They pass the knowledge down to their kids. Sure you can go in blind and it can work out, but its even easier for things to go terribly simply due to ignorance.

It depends on the type of person and history you have. I am going to say on a whim that people with mentors start before or around their early 20s before too much unavoidable tragedy hits their life or before they have too many failures. Maybe not always the case but someone I look up to had a mentor since around 19 I believe and if I started that early maybe I wouldnt have struggled so much with motivation. Some people see success before they have a mentor and that gives them more potential to succeed with a mentor when they start with one because they have had some success and have drive. The biggest question few people answer is how to start if you have never really succeeded and you dropped out of college and you dont particularly like any whole skillset meaning you dont like doing any mainstream online or alternative business as a sole party. I'm an artist who doesnt like marketing though I know how to do everything. And I've havent followed through many things in life. Thus I'm still trying to overcome these hurtles. Who can help people who have constantly failed to follow through in their life thus far?
@@JDunamis idk I’m living and learning
So true
There are so many times I expected mentors to be there every step of the way but they only were there when I signed up and that was that. Thanks for having my figure things out on my own.
Hes not cocky. Thats just a "get it done" attitude. Straight forward, get to the point. Thats a strong mindset, however, he knows he needs those opposite him to balance him out, so he is aware of himself.
At the end of the day, you do what works for you. You're going to hear contrasting, conflicting ideas at both extremes, and you cannot differentiate which one is guaranteed to work for you. You do what works for you, everybody has different roads.
He points it for someone who wants to start a business and looking for a Mentor. He’s not saying don’t listen to other people’s advice or seek knowledge. The message is work hard and rely on yourself, teachers will come if you figure something out.
I think mentorship doesn’t need to be a long-term relationship. We can learn so much from everyone we come across!
I actually got a mentor and literally changed my life. No BS. Not everyone is the same but mentorship can change lives.
It depends on how stupid u are
Well, when you define a mentor as someone who tells you what to do, then certainly that's a problem! You need to seek mentors who challenge you and make you think deeply in ways that aren't natural to your style.
your second sentence was so true
Sounds like I should just read a book then
True
I totally agree with him. This attitude is not for the weak. He simply didn’t water it down. It’s totally true.
This makes sense to me, because it’s not that you aren’t gleaning from someone else’s wisdom or experience, you are by listening, watching, attending conferences, reading etc... but not everyone (myself included) needs someone to follow daily. I take advice from people that don’t even realize they’re giving me, I’m always after growth and wisdom I can apply to my life, I just get it different ways. Some say this is mentorship from a distance, others say it isn’t at all.
Cuban just destroyed the entire MLM industry in 5min
Great
the reason i dont believe in mentorship is because everybody is a mentor nowadays on instagram
Mentorship is a business just like Motivational speaking. Mark is 100% correct. Mentors are for suckers.
Underrated comment 💯
Mentoring can help ppl learn the ropes and help people make less mistakes in whatever career path they take...
Yep. And it doesn't have to be industry specific.
Dummy. That's what mentors tells you.
Not to mention.... there are a lot of mentors who are just pretenders. Mentorship is a business.
This dude was charging 10$k for mentor ship and I knew he was full of shit

So true!
True. Guys like Mark Cuban will never spill the beans in a public platform. That’s the reason why the rich stay rich and the poor stay poor. They know stuff but don’t share it. It’s just how it is.
@@Yaahboi52 so true
Mentorship is how human have always learned. You learn from someone who is experienced. Self-made person is only there due to the opportunities and ties the person have and of his/her value. The moment those people around stop valuing you or choose not to value you. You no longer have the power. There is no real *self-made*,it is an arrogance.
there are plenty of examples where people are self-made/taught e.g. elon musk's first company zip 2 was able to be made because elon self taught how to code which means no one was specifically teaching him how to code he possibly read books etc but that still means he is self-taught. Knowledge is free especially nowadays saying that no one is self-taught is just ignorant to the possibilities in current society. Doesn't mean he is completely self taught but that first company which made him millions he was indeed self-taught those abilities
Getting a mentor who is genuinely experienced works wonders. Steve Jobs had a mentor (need citation), he was a mentor to Mark Zuckerberg. However getting "mentors" that sell 98$ courses on get rich in 67 steps is where you draw the line.
Dear everyone in the comment section going 'yeah, he's just saying this because.....'. Look for all the cockiness, the guy took good advice. He just chose not to FOLLOW a person because of that advice. That's why he doesn't believe in an all guiding mentor. He obviously learnt skills from others. But that doesn't make the other person a mentor. A mentor is that ONE person you lean on every time you're stuck. But like he said, in tech, even the people who invent things don't know what it may be used for or valued like by society. So it's every man for himself.
Very well said!
@@galianoazazdeazevedo5966 Just the truth my man!
You explain everything so clearly thanks
I try to always hold both of these truths in my mind at all times:
1. Everyone, and I mean *everyone* is my teacher
2. I have something unique to offer everywhere I go
It works pretty well for me. But there's more than one right way to be successful (as well as more than one right way to define success).
Competition is good, it pushes creativity, obstruction is bad it suppresses humanity.
I don't think what Mark said was wrong or arrogant. Not everyone needs or wants a mentor.
Mark inspires me to want to drop infant children into the wilderness and follow up with a starbucks latte.
I feel sad that even though I am investing, I don't have the brain power to dig through how each company is doing, is this a good time to buy stocks or not. my reserve of $450k is still laying waste to inflation and I don't know what to do at this point.. I need solid data on market trajectory..
I'll suggest you find a mentor or someone with experience guide you especially in this recession.
I agree, I thought I was doing alright profit wise, until I needed assistance with diversification, I reached out to a financial advisor and in less than a year I was just $51,000 shy away from $850k which is like 7x more than I make on my own..

He never said he doesn't believe in 'mentorship', he said he didn't had any mentors in his life.
I disagree. He does not want to admit it. He says he learned from people and listening yo them, I'd say the ones he listened to would categorize as his mentor(s)
the problem with mentorship is nobody ever knows what the fuck they're talking about.
So by that admission we ought to believe the opposite of your comment?
It’s more that everyone has their own vision. Somebody can’t tell you how to do ‘you’ better than you can.

When I came here as an immigrant at the age of one I thought everyone was way better than me. I was shy to ask people for help I thought I needed to to learn and get dirty with it myself.

Dougie I agree dougie but I was raised with immigrants. It’s a different life no excuse but totally different life dougie I totally understand why you would say that.
He's basically saying that leadership isn't necessary. Nonsense.. it starts with a father in the home, discipline, school, the apprenticeship at a skill.. Knowledge and competence does not pass to the next generation of people without LEADERSHIP. The belief otherwise is why the entire economy is on the verge of collapse.
Proverbs15:22 Plans fail when there is no counsel, but with many advisers they succeed.
Exactly
I see people knocking mentorship when guys like Warren Buffet still have mentors to this day. Arguably one of the richest men on the planet has people that still give him advice. Let that sink in. There’s more than one way to accomplish a goal. Everyone’s situation is unique, that’s what makes all these successful people fascinating to listen to. Imagine how boring it’d be if we had a world full of Mark Cubans.
I had good mentors and I had horrible mentors. My good mentors really helped me.
We stand on the shoulders of giants. Someone taught Mark Cuban his skill set. Why he doesn't see them as mentors is his to explain.
He probably learns from people, gives them their cudos and applies it to his own system so at the end of the day he's the one still APPLYING it. At that point are they a mentor or a small piece to his giant system?
@@coffeeandgrind everything is a remix.
I thought I'm the only one who doesn't believe in mentorship. This guy also has the same technique.
Same
I assure you he has picked up the phone thousands of times and asked for advice-I’m not buying this BS.
Pure bull
You are correct. He is full of shit
Advice is diff from mentorship
He is egoistic but seems a genuine person, albeit wrong when he sends a message that mentors are not needed, though not intentionally.
The only thing I learned from this video is once you get rich you can speak whatever crap you want.
Yes so get rich and speak the crap you want
Mentorship is about learning what you don't know from people who have done it before you so you can go out and implement it. It's about time collapsing. Getting where you are to where you want to be in the shortest amount of time. The key is the mentor isn't a friend or family member giving you advice all the while having done nothing to improve their own life, but people who have actually become successful in the endeavors
3:58 "Business is the ultimate sport" -Mark Cuban
And coachability is overrated too, the way people think of mentorship as well is definitely overrated.
Totally agree with him, why need mentors when you can be self motivated?
Mont Brae why not be self motivated and then listen what a knowledgeable person in the field you are into has to say?
Pablo Antón sound like someone who buys courses and mentors for everything
Why would you need motivation to do something ? You need to genuinely want to do it
It's great of Mark to take the time to mentor us on this subject.. wait what??
I love how Mark Cuban always keeps it real.
The best mentors are not the ones who have experienced huge successes. It is those who have failed or experienced very little successes. They tend to be the best mentors because 1 they want to prove themselves and be part of something great that you are building 2 they have made mistakes that could save you and 3 they have the time because not many people ask them for advice.
I agree w Mark. If someone is there to advise, listen. If not, don’t wait around and make your own decisions.
I respect his opinion, for sure. I don’t know where I’d be without mentors though.
I love how he said he admires every entrepreneur who has “DONE IT ON THEIR OWN.” There’s nothing worse than a daddy’s boy who was handed everything to get started towards success yet has the audacity to preach to other less fortunate people about “hard work.” Those people make the worst leaders because they have never worked hard to build anything from the ground up. I don’t respect them either. I don’t care who it is.
Exactly - Like the Trump family.
Shut the fuck up
꧁Ian Moone꧂ well I guess you could say that. But I find it very interesting that people who don’t need any money (from a wealthy family) go out and start a business or work for the family business because they already have all of their needs met forever. Trumps son could be hanging out at the country club partying and banging chicks all day if he wanted to....no need to ever work. You already “made it” when you were born so no need to toil at anything. They already won the lottery. And if you ask just about anyone what is the first thing they’d do if they won the lottery they’d say go to work and quit (or not even show up at all) and stay on permanent vacation. No one says start a company. So I have a respect for someone who comes into wealth and still gets after it....maybe even more so than those that are self made. It seems it would be very difficult to be motivated to do much of anything if you were born rich. Just my two cents.
Mark doesn't even have a clue of what he's saying. At some point, he's had a mentor without even realising it.
In this interview, Cuban did not say that he doesn't believe in mentorship (despite the title someone has given the video). He said that he did not have a mentor. Not using something personally is not the same as saying that thing is useless.
Cuban mentors the people he invests in on Shark Tank all of the time. A mentor can help people to fill in gaps in knowledge or understanding. They can offer feedback and make suggestions. A mentor can be very much like a coach. Different people will need different levels of mentorship - including some people needing none at all. Some people get enough information and experience during their childhoods that they have a clear vision when they enter adulthood. There isn't one right way. Assess your own situation and have the courage to ask for help if you need it.
Hmmm... Interesting?!! There is an old saying that goes,
'A Wise Man learns from the mistakes of others, A Fool learns from his own."
" If I can do it, y'all can do it." Biggest line of BS business successes always perpetuate.
I know someone who won lottery, so if he can do it, we can all do it!
Cuban is right. The only problem is people don't put in the effort and would rather "live".
@@haytnas No he's wrong. He's just talking B.S.
You’ll never get anywhere with that thinking. No one ever did. Don’t rationalize the mediocre, go try to create something. What you need to realize is Mark is just a human being just like you.
You never hear the top people from other professions say that. Do you ever hear Michael Jordon, Tiger Woods or Tom Brady say that?
Well when your grew up poor with everyone in your family being financially ignorant and someone from outside opens your eyes to the world of business and investments it matters. Mark grew up with succesful family members i bet his family where well off some of it has to rub off on him he dint grow up in the ghetto or projects to get that perspective. So yea i had a man that opened my eyes but thats it the rest i been on my own.
You may dislike him or have a different perspective. But the mindsets he has have brought him to this point. Yet, where are you now? Where has your mindset brought you now?
I see what you mean. But you also must consider the 'systematic' realities that create the confounds of these theories and ideas. We think a certain way because life as we know it has been conditioned to be a certain way. So the definition of success, etc.. is defined within those parameters.
Outside of that, it could all be different.
So for example, there are people who live in the ghettos in different parts of the world. Yes. Individuals have the power to can change their mindsets. But if at the end of the day that mindset conflicts with your environmental demands, say like sell drugs, join a gang, etc., then that mindset of achieving success could get you killed and endanger other lives.
So these thought patterns are not black and white and must be viewed in conjunction to the social, economic, political, racial, environmental, and other realities that have been created in our world.

So he had a mentor but won’t acknowledge it bc it would reveal what really happened. Everyone needs a mentor. The minute you pick up a book or watch RUclips you have a mentor.

I was more than capable of starting my business 10+ years ago and if I did I would have multiple locations by now and could be working from home.
he is absolutely correct. this whole mentor phenomenon is bs. either you go out into he trenches and do it, and learn from mistakes or not. if you need someone else to verify what you do, then your should be in business for yourself

@@turtletaco6164 wow bro you know everything
Fairz i wish
There is some truth to this. Not to split hairs but I think there is a difference between a coach and a mentor. A coach is a glorified cheerleader made to help you stay accountable because of your lack of discipline. The risk, is motivation can fizzle and because you used a crutch, you didnt develop willpower. I can see how this would be bad. But a mentor is someone you can bounce ideas off. Someone you trust and admire that you can align with and listen (not always take) the advice. As my boy Tommy says, "You can pick a good steak by sticking your head up a bulls ass but Id rather take the butchers word for it".
Very underrated comment...esp the steak reference 😂
The biggest lie people say is, if i can do it, you can too. Or vise versa. Everyone is different and everyone has their own ways of thinking and own set of skills. For example, if i know i have really bad unstable hands. I wont make it as a surgeon. Even if i tried my very best, i could possibly make it, but i wont be better than someone whos naturally talented and works just as hard at that field. Just because you love something, doesnt mean youre good at it. And just because you hate something, doesnt mean you suck at it. I hate washing the dishes. But i know i can wash these dam dishes better than anyone else ive met. Haha.
This why when you put 20 people in a room and give them one hard task, there will always be 1 or 2 people who stands up and takes charge and the rest follow. Why? Because everyone wasnt built to be leaders. Natural born leaders are leaders without realizing it. All the really rich people are rich not because they just wanted to, they've always had that business mindset. They were always built that way. Its not hard to figure out what youre good at. In school, the majors that you Ace with the least effort is your strengths. For me, science came EASY. Physics, chemistry, forestry, animals, biology... it was common sense to me. Can take one glance at a leaf and know what tree it is or hear a frog croak and know what frog it is, but i cant understand a book writen by a pychopath and write a 12 page essay on why madame ate poison to get away from her loyal husband or husbands. Im good at science. I hate reading(fiction) and writing about it. I love math(but it doesnt come natural to me). The best option for me to become rich to pursue a career related to science. But i dont LOVE LOVE science, so i cant fully work on it with passion. I love all things with math. But it takes me 1 day to figure out a problem and it takes my buddy 10 secs. The rich people always do the things they hate. Its what theyre good at and its what puts money in their bank so they can invest in the things they love. But like me and many people, we want a fun loving life. We chase what we love. We want to do things we love. So we stay away from things we hate. Even if we know we are good at it.
I see nothing wrong with mentorship because at the end of the day it’s up to the individual to use the advice that was given to them or not.
That’s the difference between a pure bread entrepreneur and a business owner.
I used to think you could have one mentor but later realized that there’s no limit. I have a few, Jim Rohn, Tony R., Rich Froning, Brandon Turner... Michael Jordan had coaches and his father for mentors. If you’ve ever been inspired by a book and utilized the info then the author is somewhat your mentor.
That's a book mentor
