As you can tell I like Mark Cuban, I think he has a lot of good nuggets of wisdom. Especially because he has been through it all. This one particularly sticks with me:
The best way to start a business is with as little money as possible, preferably money that you saved up or with no money. You’re selling a skill you have and you start slowly. That’s what I’ve always done. Starting with nothing is where the big bucks are made for real.

I have definitely felt the urge to raise money, but if you are raising money, maybe what you are selling isn’t very good. So when I feel that urge I usually say instead - how can I get people to pay me more.
Good Luck,
