What if you happen to have better standards than Mark Cuban? Let's not rule out the possibility that Cuban's circumstances could be in part due to any number of random variables (i.e. right place, right time) that anybody with a reasonable amount of ability could exploit to become wealthy.

I may write better code than Mark Cuban, but I doubt that I have better deal making standards than he does. He does this as often as I write programs. By sheer repetition, he must have something to share.

Cuban would be the first to admit that he was in the right place at the right time. But he knew the right thing to do, time and time again. Nothing wrong with trying to learn something from someone with a track record like that.
