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.

    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.

Either way, it's about learning from first-hand and/or second-hand experience and applying it to your own path. Application is key.

      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.

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.

    However, it truly helps when someone takes their time to give you from what they have.

    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.

      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?

But that doesn't make the other person a mentor. A mentor is that ONE person you lean on every time you're stuck.

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.

    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

      ꧁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.

      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.

    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.
