Mark Cuban ground 7 years on MicroSolutions, sold for ~$2M

Before Broadcast.com made him a billionaire, Mark Cuban ran IT-integration business MicroSolutions for 7 years from his mid-20s to early 30s, selling it for about $2 million. Sam uses it to show even billionaires put in long, slow years first.

“And with that business, he ran that business for 7 years. So from his mid-20s to his early 30s, and when he sold it, he made about $2 million, which is a lot of money, but he had a business for 7 years and he eventually became a billionaire.”
