Mark Cuban once pictured himself running a major corporation — until he started his first job out of college. The experience "sealed" something he probably already knew, Cuban told CNBC Make It via email: If he wanted to run a company, he'd likely have to build his own. "I was a lousy employee because I was a know-it-all," Cuban told Wired last year. But not every prospective entrepreneur is as successful as Cuban, who launched a software company called Microsolutions in 1983 and kept it afloat through some turbulent early years. Cuban's second business, Broadcast.com, was acquired by Yahoo for $5.7 billion in 1999.
