Mark Cuban’s advice for young people starting a business: ‘It really comes down to one simple thing’

“The key to starting a business when you’re young is doing things that you can do yourself — things you can do with your own time,” Cuban recently told a group of high school students at Lewisville High School in Texas.

That means starting with what you know, he noted.

“If it’s a product, do something that’s easy for you to get and easy for you to sell,” Cuban said, adding: “It really comes down to one simple thing. The best businesses are things you can control and do yourself. That’s what being an entrepreneur is all about.”

Cuban famously got an early start learning to run his own business as a pre-teen selling garbage bags door-to-door in a Pittsburgh suburb. Later, he sold a variety of collectibles, from baseball cards to coins and stamps, saying the proceeds helped pay for his college tuition.
