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!
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.
There’s some pleasure when you can afford the Bentley I suppose… but really- having some freedom to choose or a lot of freedom to choose is the greatest satisfaction of all
Most, not all , but most of those people driving the expensive luxury cars are just pretending to be rich or they financed the thing or they have a fairly high income but it's a big hat and no cattle situation. That kid watches too much social media and mtv. Needs to come back to reality
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
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
It's weird how people talk about all the profits they've made through crypto trading, while I'm here with huge losses. Please can someone guide me to the right path or at least advise me on which strategy to follow?
@@stealingmark995 I have been earning monthly passive income with cryptocurrencies for more than a year, although I prefer to trade with the help of a professional broker because it saves my time and reduces the risk of losing funds in trading, since we all know how volatile the market is.
@@christianawinston7545 No need to panic if you plan on a long-term holding, but if you hope to earn passive income from the coins you have in your wallet, it is recommended that you have a genuine professional broker manage your account.

Very true Ann. I virtually lost my capital when I started out investing and trying to build my portfolio but with Levi Clemans’ guidance it’s been a better experience.
@David Bucker Sure! I'm not dishing out life nor financial advice but expert guidance is important and sometimes the deep end is where you discover where your true grit and it doesn't always have to get to that. Reach him to get acqauinted
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.
Valuetainment/pat is my business coach..... I'm a fuel dealer running with gas ⛽ stations for 7 years now, your videos have helped me a lot. I am in Sierra Leone West Africa
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.
@@hedonist7962 I specified salaried employees, there's a huge difference between outsource and the 9-5 worker. When you're starting out, avoid the 9-5 worker. That was clear in the video. I operate out of the EU, so employment laws are tricky.. you can't fire at will. You can't fire people for a bad attitude or negativity (a. However, you do need individuals to grow your business, so outsourcing when starting up is the way to go. Rope them full time in when you have better cashflow, and have judged their character and work. And yes, I do have a very successful business by all metrics.
amazing examples, thank sm pat. you've been so helpful as a start up company these past months. My business Artist Shoppers grew immensely when I focused less on comferting things such as a big office space etc.
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?
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!
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
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
I started a business eight years ago failed since Covid I’ve been watching Pat bet/ David And this guy is truly onto some thing I have made my first million dollars and I haven’t stopped going since a lot of with this guy says is the basics but people forget the basics
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!
Learn how to make money outside of your 9-5 and you will be ahead of 90% of the people you work with on eventually not needing the job or having something to fall back on if the job decides it don’t need you any longer.
Another great insight into the startup sector. Pat's right, hustle and struggle and 24h in the starting years. Put aside, invest and don't yet act as if. It'll come the time. Started the business 10+ years ago and we're still kinda in the startup mindset regarding what Pat mentioned in the clip. Better to invest and leverage it than try to force yourself into the mindset of what's like. 💯
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.
starting and running a business takes real work, commitment , and dedication. If you want to start a business thinking you will become a celebrity, is a step towards failure.
I like your way of thinking. Using the tools for examples. Automotive technician starting out on his own. He needs tools to work. Snap On vs Harbor Freight. Most technicians will go
About the startup vs large Corp 1. You will gain a lot of practical knowledge and skills from the startup but it will be very hectic and you operate at the owners whim and it’s high stress. Everything is make or break so tensions are always high but when things work Out it’s great; if not, you’re out. 2. You only benefit financially from startups if you have some even a little bit of ownership eg shares. Make sure you negotiate this from the start as I’ve been in growing startups with just a small bonus/salary increase which is what I negotiated poorly. Ive seen owners in super cars but the staff drive $1000 cars when their counterparts in corps have brand new paid for leases. 3. The big blue chip corporations (big 4, FANG, top investment banks) won’t touch you if you don’t have their rivals on your CV. They don’t rate unknown companies unless it’s a known successful startup or your skills is so undeniably brilliant. Start with them and then leverage that to go into startups in a butter position or have your own startup- you’ll be bored but remember these are the guys your startup will be selling to and will also need to work they or way as they grow. I think PBD even worked for a major bank It’s your choice and career and having experience both each have their merits
Man this is a grade A video. I have been hit in the face with some of these already lessons I learned some I'm happy he shared so I can avoid. #respect
14:00 I confess....I'm a magnet for these negative types. I take them in and deal with their shortcomings. Guess what....I have let them really impact the work I am trying to achieve. I need to learn my lesson. tHanks for the video!

5:52 That is exactly how I feel right now. 15 year commercial P&C vet, Account Executive. I specialize in Construction and Upstream Energy accounts. I've earned damn near every designation under the sun including CPCU. I did a year in Law School at 33, was in the top half of my class despite my responsibilities, but life caught up with me and I had to go back to focusing on work. I've worked for Gallagher and Alliant, but am increasingly getting bored with this. Unfortunately, at 41 with a Homemaker wife and 3 teenage kids, I'm stuck in a situation where I make enough for us to survive, but not enough to be truly happy and can't afford to start something new. You've been a huge inspiration for me though and I am quietly sneaking little bits of my paycheck into a stock investing account. I keep telling myself, push just a little further . . .
I've worked at Fortune 10 most of my career; I then worked at a startup for 1.5 years. I found smaller = more drama, esp. If the COO is the HR department. Never again will I work for a company below 100M market cap unless the deal is phenomenal and immediate rewards.

About the startup vs large Corp
1. You will gain a lot of practical knowledge and skills from the startup but it will be very hectic and you operate at the owners whim and it’s high stress. Everything is make or break so tensions are always high but when things work Out it’s great; if not, you’re out.
2. You only benefit financially from startups if you have some even a little bit of ownership eg shares. Make sure you negotiate this from the start as I’ve been in growing startups with just a small bonus/salary increase which is what I negotiated poorly. Ive seen owners in super cars but the staff drive $1000 cars when their counterparts in corps have brand new paid for leases.
3. The big blue chip corporations (big 4, FANG, top investment banks) won’t touch you if you don’t have their rivals on your CV. They don’t rate unknown companies unless it’s a known successful startup or your skills is so undeniably brilliant. Start with them and then leverage that to go into startups in a butter position or have your own startup- you’ll be bored but remember these are the guys your startup will be selling to and will also need to work they or way as they grow. I think PBD even worked for a major bank
It’s your choice and career and having experience both each have their merits
Patrick you are bang on.

Pat, yall's gain is a bit high on the mics - there a lot of clipping
Wow fantastic thank God for this❤😮
I've worked at Fortune 10 most of my career; I then worked at a startup for 1.5 years. I found smaller = more drama, esp. If the COO is the HR department.
Never again will I work for a company below 100M market cap unless the deal is phenomenal and immediate rewards.
Great content!
You did not just say Vallarta did you Pat? 🤣
Respect! 🇲🇽🇱🇷🇮🇷
