🙋🙋🙋 How many of you love Valuetainment.....

It amazes me how Pat came from humble beginnings and built an empire from ground up. I really feel that he must have believed on himself in a gigantic size just to foresee where he is heading to when he was still starting to build his success.

Patrick you're prophetic my Brother. I actually thought I'd become crazy. Ive just graduated last month, i have a basic 9-5pm. I sleep 6-11pm, start coding at 1am-7am, then off to work,weekends im fulltime coding & strategizing my project. Through the 9-5pm, i basically spend 95% running through scenario's, product designs, strategies, models, and by launch time i grab my Sketchbook, and note down all ideas to be implemented when i get home. Ive been doing this for about 2-3years, that i do this unconsciously now, i feel like im in such a hurry. I cant handle bullshit conversations about nothing. On my bus rides i read pdf papers on Cloud/Networking/internet technology in attempt to trully become an expert. What you're saying here is great to hear, because ive gone from alot of friends to simply hanging on my own. It feels like we dont speak the same language anymore. I work so hard because i want to revolutionize the tech industry in Africa, im tired of the bullshit narrative my country has. I believe only innovation & capitalism can change this. Even if i fail i have to be an example for the ones who'll get it right in the future.

I can't believe how much this channel has grown. I remember Patrick had to leave for a while to focus on his company and only had around 250k subscribers.

Looking crazy SHARP Patrick!

In this world it's not important what you know, it's important WHO you know, whatever you want to become the best thing to have is someone behind your back, someone that has the right power to push you up.

Patrick has painted a great picture of a founder. Based on his success and experiences I believe it is an accurate perspective on what makes a good founder. As a young founder I will strive toward developing these qualities to be in line with Patrick's input.

I'm a founder. I checked the box for 18/20 of these. I completely agree about the importance of every executive role within a company and also completely agree that a founder is rarely the person who takes the company to the next level. There is a time I know it will be best to step down and let a seasoned manager take what I and my team built to another level. And I am totally fine with that because a) I'd rather have less or no control of something much more successful and enriching than the reverse, and b) I have 6 more ideas I am dying to build. I bring to life my visions of what should be or what will be in the future. Managing a success is much less interesting to me and because of that I recognize that's when you're most vulnerable to making company sinking mistakes. Although I believe I would be a good manager of an already elevated company as I would constantly want to grow the company through evolving it and keep it forward thinking, unlike google, microsoft, and even apple who are all hardly tech companies building the future anymore but instead consumer goods companies who only slightly tweak the product / service with a new bell and whistle hear and there but don't actually innovate and create too much. Ex. Google sitting on billions in cash because they have run out of ideas to build.

Amazing. I’ve been running a successful company for 21 years, and am about to start another branch of it. This describes me in so many ways! Man, am I on the right track.

Wow, this is exactly what I needed. I thought I was losing my mind, but it turns out this is just the typical experience when you're determined to make a difference in the world.

I think perseverance is 99% of the game. If a founder has properly evaluated his idea, and truly believes in its potential I think that the only thing stopping the operation from becoming successful is willpower and perseverance. Never, ever quit

Love the suit and the vid. Really hit home on what a great Founder is and the importance in their role. Our founder is very much as you described. We feel safe and excited to be on this journey. Keep up the great work Pat, love hearing from you.

You're speaking right to me here, sometimes I feel absolutely mad to be doing this to myself, some days it feels like I'm chasing a dream at the expense of a life - but deep breaths, recall my purpose, walk a bit, talk outloud with a dictaphone, suddenly it all comes back and can be made sense of. Thank you!

I’m just listening to this, though you’ve posted this 4 years ago. I’ve been listening non-stop to your podcasts dated from 6 years ago.. invaluable content!!

I really like the high tempo you have when you speak and you are so straight forward with everything, I find it somewhat rare.

Just realized that I have soooo much studying to do 🤦🏻‍♂️. Meaning watching all these videos. You’re the man Pat. Your energy is so f**ing great!

Wow. A positive guru who gets the real truth. I watch a bunch of this type of stuff and this is absolutely the best explanation of true founders I’ve seen. Thank you 🙏!

For 4 years, as i pursued culinary as a career after retail, i worked for a start up cooking food for dogs for a Polish man named Peter. A lot happened during those 4 years that now looking back a year after going out of business, I am currently working on a side business and have found a lot of similarities between his start up and my side hustle Peter taught me a lot by his words and his actions. He is such a kind man. I miss those days.

Amazing content Patrick. Thank you for the PDF's Mario! I made a whole file of all the episodes

Great video Pat! Thanks once again. Your video's always inspire me so much and at the same time it's relaxing and educative. It gives me instant energy to get to work immediately and not postponing tasks. That would be #21 for me, a great founder is inspiring. Thanks again Pat! See you in the next video.

This is so me!! I love this channel! Thank you for sharing Patrick

The 20th is spot on. They always talk to themselves always...

This is probably the most valuable video I've watched from Valuetainment. Love it!

Love the Tuesday videos.

You're awesome Pat.Thanx.Your words never fails to give me hope.Stay blessed.

I have to re-watch all of your videos again. I need to find the inspiration. Sometimes I need something to revive my resilience

Thank you so much for your words of encouragement! I have a lot of those qualities. Thanks for helping me recharge my batteries from a burnout. I know exactly what you're talking about and the reasons behind it. It feel so good knowing that somebody understands. thank you so much

been watching this stuff for a while now content is top dog

Incredible video by the way. Worth watching multiple times!

Bow down to your efforts Patrick Sir. 💐Love & Respect From Rajasthan (INDIA)

Excellent video. Excellent instruction, insightful realizations, knowledgeable (experiential) truths. Entrepreneurs onward!

Didn’t work with a good founder BUT I got in trouble because I was becoming one! Even from terrible founders you can get motivation to start your own shit. Now, working hard to make my idea to work. PS. It is true that for women sometimes is difficult to get respected by their men coworkers and bosses. Now it’s time to shine and show them what this girl is made of! 💪🏼

I've always said you can always see these signs within 5 minutes of meeting someone. Good video Pat

thanks for all the great value!

Suit looks great Pat, thanks so much for the knowledge too.

Pat I love your suit man. Gives off an evil and powerful look but the words you speak that match an aura of light balances it out. Anyways, thanks for the motivation and perspective helps me embrace some of what I thought were my bad qualities

The swaying... Got so many job offers. Constantly selling. I like that you interact with your viewers in the comment section. The pointers you share are never an imitation they are the real deal not those media promoted points. Just great.

I love this. I'm very visual and this keeps me hooked and thinking.

Thank You Pat .. U make sense out of this madness.. We go through

Thnx a lot Patrick sir.....

Thank you Patrick

These are so good points! I love it

great point pat, I learned a lot about me today. 18 points I have with rest 2 will improve.

I really appreciate what you did. You changed my mind. Before I wanted to work for the public administration but today I decided to start my own business.

As a founder, I can COMPLETELY relate to all points Patrick is sharing here....!

love the video grate one

On point!!!

Love this 👊😎

Hi Patrick, I believe the "Moody" part is not really about moodiness. For me, it's just Professionalism. When we're talking about business, it's just business; talking about plans, just plans; talking about what went wrong, the difficulties and challenges, we're just talking about those and nothing else. It doesn't change my relationship with whom I'm talking to. And so after all the brainstorming and difficult discussions, we could always go back to being the good friends that we are. Nothing personal. :) This is just for me.

Hello, Pat. This is My first Comment on your videos. I have been watching you since last 8 months or so. Luckily I was at the brick of leaving my college studies, come back home to Bangladesh from Malaysia and start an e-commerce platform. The first two months I was watching your old videos for hours everyday which certainly helped me to decide and execute my plan. For the last 6 months I've been working on my idea and business, which isn't new but I'm trying to craft it as the best version of all time in context to my country. We're still in development phrase and waiting for our product which is the website and app to be finished. At first it was like 2 months to start but after all these months it's still looks like another couple. I've lost people around me and left with only one of the 9/10 people I had. But we are holding strong and trying to hire new people who suits our company as well as has the urge. But the number one problem is money. We have very little fund and salary we can offer is nothing compared to our competitors. We are already paying the price of not spending enough to hire specialist on development which could've gave the product sooner then where we at now. I don't what's gonna happen, but I believe we can make it. Just wanted to share this you as we might never get the chance of talking. I would like you to inform that you're doing a tremendous job helping entrepreneurs all over the world. God bless you. Thank you for all your videos and advice.

Yea baby. love it. This is a slammin one always.

B4 1 million subs, great progress. Thanks Patrick

Amazing content, as always.

Absolutely love this video! 💯💪🔥🙏💥

Your last few statements fit into what i will experience. Have to hear this again.

I agree and experience all points Love it!

Your material always rocks brother. Golf Foxtrot Juliet!

I love this video because I see a lot of these qualities in some small businesses and I don’t see some of these in others, and I can tell who is here to stay and who isn’t

#3 is crucial, without higher determination the company won't go anywhere

I became the founder of myself and gonna build a great inner me by the moment when i subscribe to this channel.

Wow amazing, Pat has great insight and can simplify complex ideas that only people who have actually experienced life can understand. Pat make a video on Philosophy, im curious as to know what your philosophies are in life.

loved it

I love you Pat you are a great inspiration

Thanks Pat

Can’t wait for the live conference

Nailed it !

I watched this years ago, but just came back here again to say this was great Pat! Would have preferred you to be in more casual wear here, since we're talking about founders vs. big company CEO's - but this suit will do :)

Thanks sir

Around 13:00, thank you for getting that message out, and actually adding it to this list.

Pretty accurate Pat!

Here before Valuetainment hits 1mil! Also agree, background kinda distracts me kinda miss the t-shirt & blackboard pat

MAGNIFICENT 20, Mr. PATRICK.

Love the content! You always produce great vids! I like that you're delving into blockchain alittle bit as well. You should have Jared Tate the Digibyte founder on to talk about blockchain tech. He's been grinding for years now and has helped many other blockchains solve their issues. He's a great guy, would love to see him on your show!

Wow patrick, awesome video! I watched it earlier in 1.5x speed but I decided that this video is worth re-watching and taking notes! Thanks for all the insanely helpful content! I love your Interviews, you're really stepping up the game! Also, please hurry up and get to a million subs! Ever since your video "14 Strategies to beat your competition" I find myself getting distracted from whatever I'm doing and chewing through everything I have ever known to find out what the 14th and most powerful strategy is. I thought I would just fail and give up but it's getting worse. Last night I couldn't sleep for nearly an hour because of it. Please hurry up so I can get redeemed! Plus, I've taken the challenge to find out before the "big party" you're going to throw at one million subs. So better hurry up because I will not give up until I win!

God Bless you Sir... Very insightful and relatable.. #Kenya

Brilliant video- I was thinking I am getting crazy.

What an amazing video.

This is fantastic, I am good on most of these but have trouble with the hard conversations.

I can relate as a founder......

Great advice for me... I'm starting my own company right now and I really need this..

Lots of love from Nepal

Pat the last quality that you told makes me sometimes worry about, am I the only guy who think too much hours and hours over days to complete my goals but thank you for this video which made me feel more proud over being a founder of TechnoGeekZone and not worry much about my thinking.

13:53 I'm rather saying "this sounds very much like me". I love talking with my other selves. Very fruitful.

great video dope content worth watching

Founder of Mold Expert in Florida Joe Puentes is a perfect example of a great Founder and human being

A founder who started a company (startup) is like flying a plane. What I mean by that is that the most dangerous part of flying is takeoff and landing. The majority of accidents and loss of life are usually during takeoff and landing. When founders start a company, they understand that majority of startups fail within the first year, about 60 to 80 percent. The remaining 20 to 40%, about 90% don't get past the 5th year. So the worst-case scenario, less than 2% make it past the 5th year. So founders have to have 2 of the main important attributes; VISION and MISSION. Vision is seeing the future with your mind, not your eyes. It's like superman, they see things ordinary people don't, the future. Then the MISSION is their attitude, effort sacrifice, and drive that will help them get over the hurdles that make the difference between success and failure. Once founders get the plane takeoff to a safe level, they give it to the CEO, CFO, COO, etc o take over. These people were trained in school, with their credentials; MBA, CPA, Advisors, and others but it takes a special person to be a founder. They are a special breed, the trailblazer, the risk-taker, who often take road less travel and think outside the box. Often they bend the rules but do not break them, they are labeled crazy only because no one has ever tried. When they succeed and solve problems, or improve people's lives they are called genii or brilliant. So yesterday, they were called crazy, today forward brilliant, but one thing for sure is that they are the ones who bring improvement to people's lives and make this planet a better place to live on.

@patrickbetdavid I love this pat difference between you and many rich guys like grant cardone is you actually want to help as many people do better instead of just selling us.

Hahaha, point 20 is me. Every day! But it helps me take complex decisions.

Nice suit pat love the purple tie.

So true

Agree!! Im all

Hi Patrick, love your videos ........ great information.Could you please do a video on the finance part of it like equity, valuation and those basic stuff. If u already have .....then please do send me the link for it. Thanks once again.

You literally described me 100% that's crazy wow

Damnit Pat. I have no idea how I stumbled on you why I started watching your videos and I don't care. I'm so glad that I did. No I don't idolize you, from a business perspective yeah I look up to you a little bit, bit I listen because you get me and I appreciate that more than you know. No one has ever been able to correctly call out so many qualities and thought patterns I've had much less without directly speaking to me. Just another affirmation that I'm definitely on the right path. So to the list if I remember right I missed 2. I don't have a board yet so that doesn't work. I do talk to myself, but in my case my lips usually are moving my brain usually isn't loud enough to bring things to life but speaking that does it, you'll understand when we meet my Louisiana friends call me Barry and Mufasa. Oh man so many of these made me laugh out loud. Like the Moody hilarious. Yeah, I have pretty demanding expectations and when I do snap it's usually loud, everyone knows it and it's quick but once it's done, it's done I'm laughing and smiling again a few minutes later. When I was a child I had to go to anger management and I got three things out of it. 1) take my time before reacting when I'm mad 2)disrespect is what sets me off usually 3)my mother's favorite quality about me was that I'm never mad very long. Never after 10 minutes (that's when people usually apologize afterwards because they know they messed up if I'M still mad) almost always done being mad in 60 seconds or less. Darting eyes. Love it. Only when I'm making complex decisions with many moving parts. If it lasts more than 2 minutes I'll probably make a visual to help me out. Can coexist. When it comes to things I know nothing about I just like to set the goal, tell them how it needs to operate and how I want it to look. Do whatever you want/need to get it done. The rule is: if whatever you do can't destroy the company then try it out you know what we need, make it happen. Integrity: loved that one. Yeah it might seem like I have no rules but that's only to those that have the usual rules. I don't play by most of them because I find them too restricting however I add a lot of my own rules because there's some things I just won't do, it's usually a respect thing. Anyways I know there's more I just can't get to it right now. As im sure Tom mentioned I've got something for you guys (Mario, I'm sorry you were left out initially but suffice to say I've been waiting weeks for yours to get here so I can send them out together.) Stay Passionate Guys! Chef Chris Martin CEO - Digest The Passion Www.digestthepassion.com Ps. Pat, what's with the suit?!

When is Patrick running for president! You got my vote!

O my God! This video needs to be viewed by my friends, wife, and parents to understand what's going through my mind. I'm not crazy talking to my self?! I cannot count the number of times people cough me in a middle of loud thinkg, asking me with whom the hell am I talking to. Actually I can't understand how can anyone think clearly and find creative solutions without thinking out loud.

Here i am, as always! Notification squaddd

Patrick this is on point. You’re the man. You have no idea of the impact you have on my organization. Hope to meet you one day. #HighlineCommunities
