"Expect to win always"- Shark Tank's Robert Herjavec shares his learning from Billionaire Mark Cuban
In an episode of his YouTube series, which premiered on October 20, 2024, Robert Herjavec opened up about 10 things he learned from fellow Shark Tank investor and friend Mark Cuban.
He appreciated the power game of Mark Cuban, calling him "the man in the t-shirt", and how he commanded the room full of people selling things sitting "in a suit and a tie".
He was impressed by another quality of Cuban's, which was constantly chasing the win, and not expecting anything else but success. He shared that during one of the conversations he asked Mark that does he always expect to win. Herjavec then quoted Mark and said:
"He says to me, 'No, it's going to work out'. It shook me his level of confidence. I used to think I was a pretty confident guy. When I met Mark he just took it to a whole another level it changed my entire trajectory and I have to say this one thing has probably made me worth hundreds of millions of dollars more than it was before I met Mark."
