“I Would Just Stay Up All Night and Read the Manuals” (via Mark Cuban)

“People often say that motivation doesn’t last.  Well, neither does bathing – that’s why we recommend it daily.” – Zig Ziglar

Welcome to our weekly series “Motivational Clips for Entrepreneurs.”  Each week, we post a favorite video clip to inspire and motivate entrepreneurs.  Why?  Because we know how tough it is being an entrepreneur; and whether you’re launching a venture, trying to execute your business model or raising funds, you need a little juice to help you push the ball forward.  Indeed, I hope this video about Mark Cuban (an amazing entrepreneur) is a little juice.  Cheers, Scott
