Book Review: How To Win At The Sport Of Business By Mark Cuban


Meetingmax’s March book of the month was How to Win at the Sport of Business by Mark Cuban.

Keeping in line with our core value of Doing More with Less Meetingmax selected this book as Grasshopper was offering a complimentary copy to their best customers.

This book is a collection of blog posts about Cuban’s life, outlining his failures and success in both his personal and business life. As Cuban states “If I can do it, you can do it”; he offers a realistic outlook on how to succeed in the business world through perseverance and dedication.


The following are a few key takeaways the Meetingmax staff got from the book:
  • You only need one win to succeed. It doesn’t matter how many times you fail, it will only bring you closer to your win.
  • Read as much as you can. Cuban reads a minimum of three hours per day. Everything you read can give you ideas for your business so it is worth the time investment.
  • Just because you win the battle doesn’t mean you have won the war, the sport of business is 24/7/365- we are always playing.

Overall Meetingmax gave this book a rating of 8.4/10 on a scale where 1 equals a book with little value one would not wish to read again, and 10 equals a fantastic book with the ability to grow an individual personally, professionally or both.

Although it was a fantastic read, one limitation was that the book was only available through a Kindle or PDF download.
