Culture is very important to the Mavs.... It isn't about who talks the most or the loudest. It is about the demeanor and attitude he brings.

I can turn an idea into a business before you know it's going to be important. My first step will blow by you.

Do the work. Out-work. Out-think. Out-sell your expectations. There are no shortcuts.

The stock market's handling of new technology is kind of a joke. We have seen CNBC, CNNfn, Bloomberg, and the like turn into home-shopping networks for stocks. Fund managers and analysts go on TV and sell what's shiny and easy to sell.

One problem people have is that they lie to themselves. Rarely is talent enough. You have to find ways to make yourself standout. You do so by playing to your strengths and making people aware of those strengths.

Ideas are easy. I've never met a single person who didn't think they had a world class idea. The hard part is making it a business.

It's always the little decisions that have the biggest impact.
