Hi Patrick! Would you give me some advice? I've noticed some of my greatest weaknesses are related to coding. How do i get my first software dev to build the inner structure of an app without having him stealing/replicating the main idea? Thanks in advance man. This young enthusiastic boy sends his greetings from Argentina.
Steve Jobs couldn't actually code. He was good at electronics but not as good as he was at Sales, Marketing, branding and design. However Wozniak was the opposite; an INSANE engineer in electronics and coding however was super introverted and wanted to give the Apple 1 away for free (and did at first). The two complemented each other perfectly. Great video Pat
This is awesome! One piece of advice I would add is the incredible importance of having having written copy for your processes. To new business owners, your company is what you write. When it comes time to onboard staff you will have the tasks you want to delegate on hand, in writing and ready to go for your job description!
Not a lot of people watch this 4 years later I’m sure but what id like to say is we are truly blessed and lucky to have this man. We have seen him apply his own discoveries that he has taught us over years and the proof is literally all there. He has duplicated his buisiness over and over again. One of my biggest role models❗️
Dam, I swear that these videos come out exactly when I need. I am literally in the process of picking my first partner/employee and i've been debating. The part about picking someone who is like you is so right. I realize I was not moving forward because It was "fun" to think about someone with my same skills along side but at the end of the day, I need to focus on fixing the weaknesses. TY!
Valuetainment I agree 50/50 because without sales your business is dead. If you dont have much money starting out and you're the salesperson you can hire a second salesperson to double income then hire admin. Do you agree?
The Business Channel Sales is converting prospect to customer whereas marketer turn stranger to prospect. You can quadraple your sales team but in the end, without leads you will not able to get people to close your sales pitch.
There's something about this channel that I can't explain, even though about 65% of the time the message conveyed is that which am already acquainted with, there is just something, some passion, I can't explain it....All I know is that it keeps bringing me back and everyday am always learning and taking notes. Keep it up because one day, you and I are gonna meet at a whole new different level. And by the way am following from Kenya.
Mr. David, seems like you have perfectly felt every one of those situations. You clearly understand each and every category of your audience and you know exactly what to teach them in every episode. I appreciate your time, effort and consistency to continuously educate humanity with the most valuable information. God bless.
Hanry Chan in some ways I can understand what your thinking, business schools tends to be like that - schools of Medical, Architecture, Engineering, Law etc. tend to be better. As Patrick said in the video - 'Should you drop out of college' something like that, I'm not entirely sure. 'Those schools require more detail'.
Wait, I thought most business schools were mainly post grad like Wharton. Like there’s a undergrad program, but they expect you to already have a business to do business school. Plus, it helps you build really strong connections.
Appreciate the advice Patrick, it is incredible that this is available free of charge. My favorite part was when you were talking about hiring someone that has your opposing strength. I never thought about it that way! Thank you!
We help small business owners all across the country with accounting, payroll and taxes. We’ve found that the businesses that grow are the ones where the owner delegates tasks to others and spends his or her time focused on selling.
The hell!! Was the best piece of advice I’ve ever heard!! Seems obvious but once you realize how many times you made the mistake of partnering with the wrong person you’ll find this advice extremely powerful!! Way to go Patrick. Thanks ✌️
with my tree care service, I thought I needed help in the field, both for safety and productivity. I went through a lot of helpers and my productivity remained flat. once I hired an admin assistant, my productivity soared, even without a helper in the field.
The ending had me rolling on the floor, awesome video! I'm Sales & Product Development. My weakness is Marketing, Accounting, and Admin. S/o to everyone in the comments hope to see you at the Top!
I agreed 100% I felt it over years on my business, finally I understood I am the administration guy and I needed sales driven people. Sales department is the most important. I think first we evolve then we administrate the new chaos from growth, not the inverse.
I needed this so much... I just got 2weeks to hire ppl on board before I sail.. and you popped up at right time... bless you, guys... big fan..all time
Hey Patrick! I gathered some cool video ideas you might enjoy making on Valuetainment: How To Keep Your Word How To Inspire / Motivate Others (Ex. Steve Jobs' Reality Distortion Field) How To Conform To Any Social "Type" (Introvert, Extrovert, etc.) How To Toughen Up Emotionally and Mentally How To Get The First Few Followers (Not social media, just in general) Best Decisions You Made As An Entrepreneur What You Should and Shouldn't Retain From High School
The last line sums it all up. It's great to have people like us around but that's better suited for a friendship and not business. Major self-reflection is coming from this video but much needed information that I will be implementing. Keep the value coming!
I wonder how he explains this sentence he makes so many times to his employees. "If you run out of money, you shut down the business and go back the having a job."
Indeed, a good example of "opposing strength" relationship is the case of apple. Steve Jobs didn't have enough knowledge of engineering but he was good at marketing, public relations, and selling. On the flip side, Wozniak was a gifted engineer with a lot of experience in Electronics.
I subscribed a week ago, and on this video you are challenging me to test you vs. college. KK, you're on. Am enjoying the videos very much, extremely detailed and helpful. I am single owner of a mobile pet grooming, servicing affluent and summer residents since 1993. I have every check list, EXCEPT hiring employees the big step. Now heading in that direction. Will keep you posted.
Hey Patrick , Great video as usual ! I'm starting a business and a partnership !! Your videos are the ONLY videos that makes sense to me !! I recommend your videos and book to my friends and family !! I actually started sending your videos to the people that I'm going into a partnership just to see if we share same values and business goals!! Thanks man and I appreciate every second of your videos!!
I came back to watch this one a 2nd time. I think my opposing strength/partner is sales. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction for how to start building my team.
This Blackboard breakdown is perfect! I didn't even know these people in the bubbles where what I needed.🤦🏾♀️ Like I said in my other comment, you don't know what you don't know.🤷🏽♀️
Great!! Im a sales and marketing person. I absolutely agree... my first hires need to be accounting and payroll admin. Thanks soo much for adding clarification.
Sir Patrick! I have some question for you that i am suffering to understand ! 1)What do you mean by admin? 2)Isn't Advertising and marketing the same thing ? 3)And if we market the product, doesn't the sale increase automatically ? 4) What are the difference between finance and accounting? Thank You for your precious time !
1.admin means people who manage stuff above everbody and paperwork and things that are important but doesn't directly relate customer 2. the difference between advertising and marketing is advertising focus on what to present in front of people and marketing is much more sophisticated process 3.its not always best product get more sell , you have to make people believe then they buy 4 finance include raising money, budget and paying and all accounting means recording business transactions
Tough call, because the second he starts showing up late or becomes lazy “you’ll justify it and or allow it” not 💯 % of the time but because he’s your brother any Family member For that matter Ground rules must thoroughly be established & importance scale of the business success tip you either into 1. anger and frustration Causing a divide between said family member Or 2. Submittance You effectively become their employee as they stand around talking a good game but your the only one doing physical work. Don’t believe just wait and see if you don’t polite but firmly establish what needs established. will succumb to the familial hierarchy.
We just hired for a very early stage start up, and it was a simple choice for us. We simply asked, whose contribution will help our business the most? And this means a very different person for different Startups.
Thank you for making this video!! I needed to see this! 😍😍😍 Your channel is my absolute favourite, I have learned so much from you and watching your content ❤
I have just got investment to start my own recruitment business. I was just thinking about this. I am good a sales and can win business I definitely need someone to drive candidates and admin. Thanks Pat 👍
I came here after watching the building a Dream Team video. I think this is a good start for me. I apologize for such _basic_ questions, but I don't yet know what I don't yet know. I have a good idea of my desired end result, I just don't know the pieces to put together to make it happen
Damn, he is good! Now I understand that I need a sales person! I'm starting my own web development agency after being very successful web developer and designer. I build my own team, and we rolling. Now I need a sales person to promote my services and products. I do high quality SEO optimized web apps.
In Brazil we're worried about the big taxes and fines whem we intend to hire an employee, so we need to create strategies or some business models to avoid the risks to open a new business and get it closed few months later.
I just stumbled across your videos and they are very informative. Thank you for taking the time. My wife and I own a small hood cleaning company in Sacramento California, we're doing very well but we are working very hard. We need to hire two people to replace us so we can bring on more work and go to the next level.
I agree with some of this but disagree with other parts of it. If you're going to hire an executive assistant for example you can't hire someone slow paced if your very fast with your things. It will just not work, but I do agree that this person needs to do the things we're not good at.
For example if i am going to start a youtube channel. I have the content but dont have video editing or recording skills. The first person to be hired is the one who is good at video editing and recording. Right?
I don’t want to be rich, I don’t want to be wealthy, I wanna be able to provide food, security, hospitality for my family all by giving the best experience to my customers & employees!
Thanks Patrick and #Valuetainment. I have been wondering this for some time. I am more an Administrator and Product guy, I thought what I needed were persons to help me improve #BestYouPro products to make them even better. Your video showed me my error, It would cost to make those improvements and create more products, better to put those resources into driving sales for the products we already have THEN move onto new products to grow the business and offer better service. Much Appreciated.

This is true; listening to Jobs' biography right now!
@pocketman5510 Wow! This is a perfect example of hiring your opposite strength thank you

Makes more sense.

Life Masterz same here man, I knew off the rip I couldn't choose friends. Wish you the best in your journey.
Life Masterz buddy remember if you want to grow yourself and your business

Hi, has your company worked out ? Just for curiosity
I am so in your position right now. a rising businessman hiring a friend and a perfect equal. didint seem to work out in the long run. 2020 sucks

Valuetainment I agree 50/50 because without sales your business is dead. If you dont have much money starting out and you're the salesperson you can hire a second salesperson to double income then hire admin. Do you agree?
The Business Channel you would then be losing out in other dipartments 🤔🤔
The Business Channel Sales is converting prospect to customer whereas marketer turn stranger to prospect.
You can quadraple your sales team but in the end, without leads you will not able to get people to close your sales pitch.
This helps a lot. Thanks for everything Patrick

Thank you Lord I took engineering. Because now I'm learning business thru valuetainment and did not waste money on business schools lol!
Hanry Chan can u code apps??
Hanry Chan in some ways I can understand what your thinking, business schools tends to be like that - schools of Medical, Architecture, Engineering, Law etc. tend to be better. As Patrick said in the video - 'Should you drop out of college' something like that, I'm not entirely sure. 'Those schools require more detail'.
Wait, I thought most business schools were mainly post grad like Wharton. Like there’s a undergrad program, but they expect you to already have a business to do business school. Plus, it helps you build really strong connections.

I agreed 100%
I felt it over years on my business, finally I understood I am the administration guy and I needed sales driven people.
Sales department is the most important.
I think first we evolve then we administrate the new chaos from growth, not the inverse.
hire opposing strength hire ehat u need logically nothing happens without sales hire your opposing strengths dont hire friends
I needed this so much... I just got 2weeks to hire ppl on board before I sail.. and you popped up at right time... bless you, guys... big fan..all time
Hey Patrick! I gathered some cool video ideas you might enjoy making on Valuetainment:
How To Keep Your Word
How To Inspire / Motivate Others (Ex. Steve Jobs' Reality Distortion Field)
How To Conform To Any Social "Type" (Introvert, Extrovert, etc.)
How To Toughen Up Emotionally and Mentally
How To Get The First Few Followers (Not social media, just in general)

i quit my uni and been following Valuetainment since then!
I wonder how he explains this sentence he makes so many times to his employees. "If you run out of money, you shut down the business and go back the having a job."

I agree with what you said at the end. Learn from people who have already made it and went through all the mistakes.
I subscribed a week ago, and on this video you are challenging me to test you vs. college. KK, you're on. Am enjoying the videos very much, extremely detailed and helpful.

Abolutely. Balancers are key and help you leverage your strengths.
Choose opposing and most valued.
Pat delivers like no one else!
Thx. for the insight. You are one of the few who actually answers their own subject question very well. Now it's time for me to git er dun!
that analogy right before the 3 minute mark is priceless game for me
this is the business channel were i get every financial knowledge i need
Hey Patrick , Great video as usual !
I'm starting a business and a partnership !! Your videos are the ONLY videos that makes sense to me !! I recommend your videos and book to my friends and family !!
I actually started sending your videos to the people that I'm going into a partnership just to see if we share same values and business goals!!
Thanks man and I appreciate every second of your videos!!
Me watching this after hiring my first employee. No issue, this is exact what I did instinctually.
This was much needed ...
Thanks Pat
I take you as my mentor
This channel is the best thing on TH-cam for me...
You're doing a great job
Thanks Sir
Agree that you need to build on your weaknesses!
I came back to watch this one a 2nd time. I think my opposing strength/partner is sales. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction for how to start building my team.
This Blackboard breakdown is perfect! I didn't even know these people in the bubbles where what I needed.🤦🏾♀️ Like I said in my other comment, you don't know what you don't know.🤷🏽♀️

What about hiring family members? One of my goals for the year is to hire my brother.
+Siim Land - check this out: www.patrickbetdavid.com/work-family-business/ ~Rebecca (VT support)
You made it big brother
Tough call, because the second he starts showing up late or becomes lazy “you’ll justify it and or allow it” not 💯 % of the time but because he’s your brother any Family member
For that matter
Ground rules must thoroughly be established & importance scale of the business success tip you either into
1. anger and frustration
Causing a divide between said family member
Or
2. Submittance
You effectively become their employee as they stand around talking a good game but your the only one doing physical work.
Don’t believe just wait and see if you don’t polite but firmly establish what needs established.
will succumb to the familial hierarchy.
Hire the most qualified your running a business
I’d be careful
Valuetainment all the way PBD👍🏾👍🏾
I’ve been asking this question for 5 months, just answered this question for me. Thank you!
We just hired for a very early stage start up, and it was a simple choice for us. We simply asked, whose contribution will help our business the most? And this means a very different person for different Startups.
Thank you for that advice. I thought that I should hire someone in MARKETING, first. So SALES, first!
Every video of your is a real class. Thanksssss Patrick. 🎯🎯👍👍👍⭐⭐⭐⭐
I agree 100%, I need an Admin ASAP. Thanks Pat.
The new "You must subscribe outro" obliged me to click the like button :D
I'm already subscribed since 3 months.
Thank you for making this video!! I needed to see this! 😍😍😍 Your channel is my absolute favourite, I have learned so much from you and watching your content ❤
You put it in every day words I can understand thank you.
This video solidifies a lot of thinking I had but wasn't sure due to lack of experience.
I have just got investment to start my own recruitment business. I was just thinking about this. I am good a sales and can win business I definitely need someone to drive candidates and admin.
Thanks Pat 👍
Wow big stuff brotha. It’s spot on... last two months I drew back and went solo, just partnering w financial guys to keep expanding 👌🏽🌊🏄🏽♂️
Your videos have helped me react in our family business. You're a good man! Thank you!
I came here after watching the building a Dream Team video. I think this is a good start for me. I apologize for such _basic_ questions, but I don't yet know what I don't yet know. I have a good idea of my desired end result, I just don't know the pieces to put together to make it happen
Came in at the right time. I think I paused a qn a few days ago. Thank you. Ty
wow that's a big challenge college or valuetainment btw pat college is not boring it's a experience. cheers my friend...
Love 4 u mate... Thanks and thanks and thanks sooooo much...Valuetainment!!!👍👍👍👍👍
I love valuetainment!!
Awesome pat thanks for your valuable info!
Hi Pat,
Thanks a lot for this video.. it was really helpful..
Could you pls make a video on how determine the productivity of your employees..
thanks
Pat, you are amazing ! One of my favorite and most inspiring entrepreneurs of all time ! :)
Thanks bruh. I’m writing a book on the subject. Very insightful pointers
finally pat finally.. thank you soo much man.. love you.. this is what i was looking and asking for soo long .. thanks my man...
Very helpful but maybe that's because I did exactly this. I am strong in sales in marketing but I operations are difficult for me.
wow I find this video really interesting. Even I am not running a business , I will probably need this knowledge in future.
Spot on as usual Patrick 👍
Damn, he is good! Now I understand that I need a sales person! I'm starting my own web development agency after being very successful web developer and designer. I build my own team, and we rolling. Now I need a sales person to promote my services and products. I do high quality SEO optimized web apps.
How’s it been going
Love this channel. Straight to the point without all the fluff.
In Brazil we're worried about the big taxes and fines whem we intend to hire an employee, so we need to create strategies or some business models to avoid the risks to open a new business and get it closed few months later.
I just stumbled across your videos and they are very informative. Thank you for taking the time.

We need to hire two people to replace us so we can bring on more work and go to the next level.
Really need this, Thank you Valuetainment!
So impressed with your videos PBD. Thank you
Great advice. I feel like an all rounder but weaker at sales tbh. Sales will be my are of focus when the time is right and increase revenue.
just ordered "drop out and get schooled". sent my application to college two weeks ago. some fun times ahead😂
A video on more into the topics of business models, outsourcing, delegating, leveraging and systems. Thanks.
Your first hire is your opposing strength.
Perfect video i was waiting for.. too much confusion.
I agree with some of this but disagree with other parts of it. If you're going to hire an executive assistant for example you can't hire someone slow paced if your very fast with your things. It will just not work, but I do agree that this person needs to do the things we're not good at.
I am really good at just sales and operations
For example if i am going to start a youtube channel. I have the content but dont have video editing or recording skills. The first person to be hired is the one who is good at video editing and recording. Right?
Stephen A. : You're Wrong and here's why!😅😅
I can see ur channel, after 2 years it has no content and Ur a loser
Getting my education here thank You fellas
Great Content as always Pat! Keep it up.
I don’t want to be rich, I don’t want to be wealthy, I wanna be able to provide food, security, hospitality for my family all by giving the best experience to my customers & employees!
Great vid! Bring BACK the previous OUTRO song, it was so much better!
But the problem is you don't know if your future employee is really good in what he do.
So much love Patrick. Thank you.
God Send Pat to teach us entrepreneurship
I am the janitor too haha dont forget that, I am at that stage of the company and I am really get hard time putting together that team
Thank you, you just solved my problem 😊
Sales. Thank you.
Superrr useful! Thank you Pat!!!
I ordered those 10books off Amazon.. thanks for your inspiration
Thank you so so so so much this was a hurdle thank you for clearing that up..
Pat, can you make a video on how to maintain an office?
Challenge: Start a small business with only $1000
and how do you pay your first employees?

i love valuetainement
Thanks Patrick and #Valuetainment. I have been wondering this for some time. I am more an Administrator and Product guy, I thought what I needed were persons to help me improve #BestYouPro products to make them even better. Your video showed me my error, It would cost to make those improvements and create more products, better to put those resources into driving sales for the products we already have THEN move onto new products to grow the business and offer better service.
Much Appreciated.
Very good advice, much appreciated, thanks!
