You're an entrepreneur. You just started a business, and you're asking the question everybody struggles with. "Who do I hire first as my first employee?" Do I hire somebody in sales, marketing, operations, accounting, finance, product development, legal? Who do I hire first? Answering that question when hiring your first employee is a very simple answer that I get into in this video.

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

I dont want to be a millionaire..I have to be!
Rafi yes ! ! !

I dont want to be a -->B
you WILL be!
Let's thinking even bigger - a trillionaire.
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!
Makes more sense.
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!
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
Then its all about good leads sales and marketing thats bussiness
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
Forget theories! I'm learning from Valuetainment!!!
Eli Allen I agree lol
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❗️

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
ARJUN Vichur have you done sales? Have you succeeded in sales ? Nope 👎
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.
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.
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 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
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!
Your videos have helped me react in our family business. You're a good man! Thank you!
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
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!
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!
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.
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 ✌️
So impressed with your videos PBD. Thank you
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!!
Love this channel. Straight to the point without all the fluff.
Came in at the right time. I think I paused a qn a few days ago. Thank you. Ty
Really need this, Thank you Valuetainment!
Every video of your is a real class. Thanksssss Patrick. 🎯🎯👍👍👍⭐⭐⭐⭐
Pat, you are amazing ! One of my favorite and most inspiring entrepreneurs of all time ! :)
I’ve been asking this question for 5 months, just answered this question for me. Thank you!
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.
Thank you so so so so much this was a hurdle thank you for clearing that up..
Great stuff. I coach entrepreneurs making better decisions and executing better strategies. Great advice.
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.
You put it in every day words I can understand thank you.
Awesome pat thanks for your valuable info!
finally pat finally.. thank you soo much man.. love you.. this is what i was looking and asking for soo long .. thanks my man...
Great Content as always Pat! Keep it up.
I agree 100%, I need an Admin ASAP. Thanks Pat.
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.
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.
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 👌🏽🌊🏄🏽♂️
love your content!! thank you. and yes I subscribed... you made a good point
Subbed amazing energy great prompt content thank you
So much love Patrick. Thank you.
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 agree with what you said at the end. Learn from people who have already made it and went through all the mistakes.
wow amazing!! great info. just needed this.
Thank you so much for this information! 💯
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.
Thanks! Appreciate your efforts.
Superrr useful! Thank you Pat!!!
Hi Pat,

Spot on as usual Patrick 👍
Getting my education here thank You fellas
Agree that you need to build on your weaknesses!
man pay your information is so helpful!
I really needed this video
Thanks
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."
Excellent advice!
The new "You must subscribe outro" obliged me to click the like button :D
I'm already subscribed since 3 months.
Excellent content. Thank you!
that analogy right before the 3 minute mark is priceless game for me
I love valuetainment!!
Thank you Pat , God bless you!
Pat delivers like no one else!
Thank you for your content it's brilliant 🍻
great advice!
thanks
Another great video. You should do another one about how to calculate how much you can afford to pay for things. I always get confused on how much I can afford to spend vs how much I will get in return.
Thank you Pat!
Thanks so much for this information 😁
great job Pat
Really appreciate 😻 and really good explanation using other examples like sport team etc, not like others , mumbling or confusing, great learning thanks
Have a great day 😚
Just Purely awesome 👏🏻🙏🏻
This was a fantastic vid!!!
I ordered those 10books off Amazon.. thanks for your inspiration
love this channel Patrick, again always motivating. I do have a question not sure where my skills are at or where it stands but I do wanna perfect sales learn to close is that a skills that can be learned and perfected or is it a gift where you have or you don't? I ask because I'm not to sure if I'm good at it or not but love to perfect it.
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.
A video on more into the topics of business models, outsourcing, delegating, leveraging and systems. Thanks.
Choose opposing and most valued.
Thank you for great video!
Abolutely. Balancers are key and help you leverage your strengths.
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
Thank you Pat.
Thank you for the great video
Thank you so much very helpful
Extremely helpful
wow I find this video really interesting. Even I am not running a business , I will probably need this knowledge in future.
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.
I was looking for exactly this
this is the business channel were i get every financial knowledge i need
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.
