Mark Cuban’s 12 Rules for Startups – Entrepreneur.com<\/span><\/a> bit.ly\/18vRZui<\/span><\/a> – @mcuban<\/a><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Here are five things for you in no particular order<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
-1- Do what Mark Cuban wrote about<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
FOLLOW YOUR EFFORT, NOT YOUR PASSION<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
https:\/\/bit.ly\/mcuban711<\/a><\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
And Mark Cuban said, do a “Larry Chiang Mini Company Concept”.  Ok, he did not say my name, but I added homework steps to his blog post, “Sell Shoelaces”<\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
Master both articles<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
-2- Prep for the Dec 5 Mark Cuban appearance at UT<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
You don’t just go starfux. <\/span><\/div>\n
You go to meet Mr Mark to star-execute. <\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
Remember, he needs to meet you, the engineer-who-executes, far more than you need to meet him. Seriously. You. You, don’t need to meet him. You can just read and execute his entrepreneur wisdom. I will even be your study buddy. I study real good and can regurgitate. <\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
-3- Take some paper notes on the hashtags I mention in the “<\/span>entrepreneur bell curve” video<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
-4- Send two thank you cards in the USPS postal mail<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
One goes to a high school teacher (who prolly wrote a rec letter for you to get into Stanford and hasn’t heard from you since). <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
One goes to any teacher at Palo Alto’s Community’s College. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
It takes courage and confidence to write and send a thank you note. Execute that monumental task and you’ll already have surpassed 90+%. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
-5- Be semi entrepreneurial in getting an internship. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Lol, I laugh when people do not spend 1\/1000th the time to get a job that’ll lead to a job. Versus studying for SAT or GMAT. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
SPEND 1\/50th the time you spent acing the GMAT to get a great internship after HBS1 – 1st year. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I can list 40 things to do to get a legendary internship, but I’m going to have you google my guest lecture on that exact topic. <\/div>\n
