Met a 17yr old one time begging me for some money out in front of a grocery store. I politely said no thank you and proceeded to my car. As I was driving towards the front of the store to leave out the parking lot I saw him again. I rolled down my window and told him I can teach him how to make 6 figures. He laughed at me and said “bro, you make 6 figures and drive a Toyota Camry!?” And just proceeded to laugh at me. Year 2 running my own business and we’re set to do 200k by the end of this year and imma drive my Camry till the engine blows and by a used one all over again lol.

Avoid... 1. Office leases 2. Overhiring 3. Saviour consultants 4. Lavish employee perks 5. Expensive tools 6. Business Travel 7. Uncontrolled enthusiasm

PAT- I’m 80 yrs old & owned my own company a couple of times. Sure enough, I did all the wrong things that you mention in your talk today! AND I WENT UNDER THE FIRST TIME THE ECONOMY TOOK A DOWN TURN! Second time I did everything you talk about ( failure is a wicked teacher) and I stayed afloat for 30 years. So glad you spelled it out - hope a lot of newbies were listening!

This guy is the biggest role model for young men💯

I’ve been in business for 5 years now and I can say wholeheartedly that I made a few of these mistakes when I first started and only wish someone would’ve given me this advice when I first started out

I miss this type of content. I've been watching you for 7+yrs now. Went to the first vault. bought the sales program. You definitely sharpened the business side of me. We are on track to do 1M this year and in yr 2 of business

From my experience, all I can say is that nothing beats expertise when it comes to investing.

8:40 same way we operate in the fire department. The bonds you make cooking for your crew, nothing else like it!! Love the value you're putting out there for us man, one hell of an inspiration!!

Your channel has really changed my life. I have been studying and researching about crypto for a while now and got stuck somewhere along the learning curve. I can now say that am really improving my understanding of this whole new world and making huge profits on a weekly basis, all thanks to you guys

Pat once again smashing it with some invaluable and sage advice!

I built my own landscape company over the past 19 years, I can attest to the wisdom in this video from Pat. We grew on the current year revenue and stayed out of debt.

Thank you Pat, for all your content! It’s educational, motivational and entertaining!

Great content! It took us 2 years to build a team. Most people settle for a good paying job. The risk route is where its at.

Totally agree. I run and own a 3rd generation family business. I'm in my mid twenties and I drive a Ford Focus. We're in the ad space. Constantly trying to optimise. It's very difficult to have a start up mentality when you've been in business for 25 years, in a small market. I would add another mistake one can make, over hiring salaried employees. Outsource trial areas and new areas of business before committing. Set the stage. Many people want comfort and they tend to be negative, even in smaller companies. Identifying the right talent and team is the best investment one can make.

Hey Pad!!!! Love to see all but all your content. I follow you everywhere. Keep doing it because you are killing it.

These are the type of videos I appreciate the most. Thank you

Such invaluable advice for any new and inspiring entrepreneurs! Thank you Pat!

This is great, very savvy. That’s why America survives business ups and downs. There’s great hope for starting and maintaining any business.

Love it, Pat. Thank you for the tips. I also love the stories like when you were cooking for the guys in your apartment because we hear them all the time from those you started with. Shows how great you've been as a servant leader. Thank you!

Thank you Mr. PBD!

Thanks Pat!

Been following u for a while now. I can say your the only genuine mentor for business

Precious Content and every businessman should watch this video. Loving it

Pat 2 corrections, the 105 doesn’t cross Granada Hills. 405 and 5. And lastly I’m in branding which is a type of consulting/service, you know how many times people make this offer to me when I present a payment schedule. No offense against realtor, loan, insurance agents or adjacent field but these are the guys that try to pull this the most. They promise the world and promise you that once their colleagues see my work he’s going Im going to have some much work I won’t need to work any more. As a matter a fact I should pay them because they are doing me a favor by promoting my company. Never taken any counter offer but seen comp take them and get burned

God Bless you !!! Prayers for more success for you! 🙏

Love the consulting advice. I’m a consultant/advertising service and I basically made my pricing on the month by month level instead of a big amount up front for that exact reason. It gives the client much more leg room to learn to trust me and trust what I’m doing. And if their product isn’t good and we can’t do much, then little harm is done and they have some new information to build from

EXCELLENT CONTENT PATRICK, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL THE GREAT ADVICE & TIPS. ALL THE BEST

Hi Patrick, I love this breakdown of what traps to avoid spending money on!! I learned a lot! As a start up business, I find myself always questioning what is most important to spend money on in the beginning to stretch the dollar as far as possible. Could you please give a list like this on the most important things to focus on & spend money on in the first couple years of business?

Great points.

Wow, incredible video. Thank you

Simply priceless. You sir are amazing.

Praying you and your family are safe and well 🙏🏾❤️ what a storm

It's not all that Pat. I've been beat out of more money from more startups then I can even remember over the past 34 years. Now...If I talk to a small company for a "job" I'm interviewing them more than they are me. Advice for interviewees.. 1. Look in their parking lot when you pull in for the interview...fancy car by the front door? Startup? They may not always make payroll and may be making promises they can't keep. 2. All startups have big dreams, I can think of one still around. Do you want to make that investment in their company? 3. You may not move up even on the ground floor of a startup. The startup was created to make someone else money not you, don't forget that. My father who was a truck driver told me when I was young that if you drive a truck for a company for 40 years do you know what you'll be in the end? A worn out truck driver. If you don't have a college education or a big book of business then you may want to avoid startups. This is a 2 sided arrangement and if the consultant takes your low ball offer YOU still have to provide whatever it is your selling (my case logistics) and the consultant will end up holding the bag in the end if you can't put out what you say you can. Sorry to play devils advocate here but I had to say something.

Mr. Pat, I’m in!!

Not only for startups Good message from a good man Thank you sir , watching from Africa

Good advices

This help me get back on track Thank you Patrick Bet-David! I bought the office and was going for nice equipment and had a nice location (with a "nice" high cost more than I should have stretched / difference between confidence and realistic) Town Center office and Hotel... terrible mistake. Had to walk after the new website got hacked from the laptop and got rear-ended in the field back to back and high expenses with over hiring was on the way ... paid $2,000 and walked before I was in debt to my eyeballs. Thanks for this, guys this is good advice whole video. Value! It's in the name!

Great video

Patrick you are bang on.

Amazing rules. I’ve seen all of this in a startup
