????沒(méi)有人生來(lái)便是商業(yè)巨頭。他們能有如今的成就，憑借的是堅(jiān)定的信念，以及對(duì)成長(zhǎng)、提高與創(chuàng)新的不懈追求。我們研究了幾位當(dāng)代商業(yè)和金融領(lǐng)域的巨頭，結(jié)果顯示，成功的商業(yè)創(chuàng)新者所擁有的，不僅僅是聰明的頭腦和對(duì)自主權(quán)的強(qiáng)烈渴望。

????我們列出的四位商界巨頭有一個(gè)共同點(diǎn)——在第一份工作中，當(dāng)積極性遭到老板的打擊時(shí)，他們都能振作起來(lái)，正是這種特質(zhì)讓他們成為今天的商界大亨。

????Tycoons aren’t born, they’re made through determination and a relentless pursuit of growth, improvement and innovation. Our review of several modern day business and finance tycoons reveals that successful business innovators have more than brilliant minds and a strong desire for autonomy.

????Mark Cuban

????Mark Cuban is a true maverick, and not just because he owns an NBA team with that name. Today he is known and respected in many arenas – as the owner of the NBA’s Dallas Mavericks, as an Internet mogul, and as the star of the hit show Shark Tank. It wasn’t always that way. Cuban’s bright ideas got him off to a bad start at his first job converting paper transactions to digital ones for Mellon Bank in 1980. He suggested ways the company could make more money, started a networking group called the ‘Rookie Club,’ created a company newsletter and began making project updates. His boss did not appreciate his initiative.

????When Cuban’s entrepreneurial spirit was rewarded with disdain, he didn’t fall in line like a good yes man. Instead, he left the bank job and moved south to Dallas where he realized his dream of starting his owncomputer software company that he later sold and used to build the foundation of his current fortune. Cuban continues to inspire entrepreneurs today to diligently pursue their dreams by challenging the NBA to rethink the home court experience it delivers to its fans.

????Cuban continues to apply lessons learned from his first job to his current job as owner of the Dallas Mavericks. He’s always looking for ways to improve what his company offers its customers. “I have always tried to create the best possible experience for our customers in all of our businesses, the Mavs included,” Cuban says. “To do that you have to put yourself in the shoes of the customer and learn what makes the experience the most amazing, differentiated experience they could achieve for their entertainment dollar.”
