Hi Patrick, I wish I had been with you Dec 31 2002 I'd be where I want to be at in life now. Well thank you and my life is now going to be better for listening to you now in 2021! Thank you a Million!
Tbh, I don't ever want the noise. It's one thing to talk about success on YT. It's another to have a bunch of cameras in my face everywhere I go. I never want fame. If I ever get it, it'll be a serious accident.
I watched this episode 2 years ago for the first time. Since then whenever I have hard times, doubt in my mind about the business and what I do, I come back and rewatch it again. It is really a medicine for keep going. Thanks Pat!
I have been watching your video's for the past two weeks and you have impacted my life in a big way. I appreciate your time and dedication in helping people. I also started reading all the books you have said are essential to read and I couldn't be happier. Four books down in one week, I feel that I just woke up and started life. Again, I am appreciative for the passion and effort you put into your videos. -Anthony
I'm not an entrepenuer,I'm a college student struggling to complete his degree,but i tell you man this is some of the BEST advice i have ever heard. I realise that I have more than 2 people in my life who believe in me and I guess the reason i don't succeed is because I don't always believe in myself. Your videos have made me realise that there is no success unless i believe in myself. You simply can't succeed if you don't believe in yourself. Thanks you very much for these videos man. They make me feel invincible and like i can do anything. God bless and keep up the good work!
8:04 yup, that's exactly how it is for me. At night when I'm alone with my thoughts. I get panic attacks and doubt myself, keep saying I could not possibly do this and even mock myself for ever thinking I could. Then I wake up the next day and feel motivated again. It's an ongoing cycle, but I'm not giving up, even more so because there are people who keep telling me I will not make it.
Valuetainment lol this guy gathered inspiration from you and created indias probably largest platform for motivation. How does it feel pat? The amount of people youve influenced over the years.. how many people youve helped just from this video... must feel fucking good! Youre a hero if anything.
That inspired me because a lot of times in my life I never knew the reasons why I would quit, I just did. Now I know the reasons why. It’s a MAJOR mental breakthrough for me. Thank you Pat!
Greetings. My name is Ameera and i am from St. Maarten. An Island in the Caribbean. I just want to thank you for being you. Finally i found someone who is teaching what i need to hear and explain it in a way i can understand. Keep up the great work. I will be listening and applying your teachings to my businesses. Have a blessed, productive and safe 2017 :)
Pat, I've started and failed at more ventures than I have fingers and toes to count on and I believe I know why, but I would love your input. I'm a Loner. I have finally figured out what skills set me out from the rest, but they aren't enough to get anything off the ground. I keep thinking I need to build team of some kind, or at least find a way to find or attract the right resources needed to fill in the larger holes in the wings of the plane that would be my current (or future) business(s). So my question for you is... how do you go about either finding or attracting these types of people? and, almost more importantly, how do you go about finding a mentor? Maybe next time you're in Minnesota, we can hit a workout and possibly talk about things like this, together. I look forward to hearing from you. - Pete
VALUETAINMENT can you make a video on how to and where to invest your money , rules or thing's need to be consider while investing thanks in advance ! :-)
In your video you mentioned about "who has control over you", well to me it was always been my dad. He passed away 6 months ago to cancer and now I'm lost. I don't know who to talk to or even who will mentor or even control me in my entrepreneur journey as I'm the only child, single mom, a loner, and gosh...a strong header too. Just last night I felt like quitting and finding a job and I saw this. My 3rd time watching since I woke up at 7.30am. Every single time I feel like quitting or lost or feel that I haven't done good enough or my sales & marketing strategy is wrong, I hit RU-vid and click on your channel. Man, you are the next best ear feeder after my dad! If you ever come to Malaysia, please post it up so I can clear my schedule and be where you are, to just thank you in person. True what people said that a hero doesn't always wear capes...well mine wears T-Shirts =D
You have a true servants heart, Pat. I'm so grateful and appreciative. Thank you so much! No doubt, you are changing lives and making this world a better place. I love your no B.S. mentoring.
Thanks for this video Pat! I've been feeling VERY overwhelmed lately. I think about going back to a job EVERY single day but your videos help motivate me keep me pressing forward! You constantly remind me that I'm not alone and I can do this with hard work and determination. I refuse to give up!!
You know gang, I just realized something that I thought I'd share. Im trying to get over this barrier in my business currently and being young and never having experienced this before, the stress that comes with building a business and trying to make it big is unwavering. I assumed that at some point it would subside, but a year into it and it hasn't. I'm not telling anybody this to discourage you. Hell embrace it and learn to cope with it, because if you're not stressing you're challenge and your dream is probably not big enough.
Selective hearing "you should go work at Kaiser..." that was a sign I was thinking about health insurance." NO THERE WAS A SIGN ACROSS THE STREET but you ignored it. it said "You can have all your dreams" BOOM! LOVE THIS STUFF MAN! I need this. My grandma always said "garbage in garbage out" thats when i stopped watching TV and I started looking for more people lke Tony RObbins. ITS THE TRUTH! WE ONLY NEED ONE PERSON ( I HAVE TONS, like you, and TY SO MUCH for texting me back last night!) but I also have someone here in LA. I have a family. but i have a good friend I see every day and he's always like "I'm Proud of you" or "you're such a hard working woman" "i love an independent woman" he always feeds me good stuff before I go to bed. I see him last thing before I leave usually. "oooh look at you! You got the seal from the state of California" (when I showed him I'm Worth It Inc. got incorporated)
this came at the perfect time for me, I'm very stubborn and a non quitter once I am in that tunnel vision zone but there has been a LOT of outside pressure lately from people who I value . Thanks for the positive alternative.
At a point, it feels worse when you have early success because you feel you can almost never top that when things get difficult in a different phase of your life.
I started a new job in a new city after 11 years at my old one. You don't know how bad I needed to hear this today. David thank you for this video and all of the work you do.
I have never quit in life! Ive always kept a positive outlook on my current situation. As of late i feel, broke! My spirit has been broke by the last 20 yrs of fighting.
I was about to quit copywriting after 3 months of struggle of not landing my first client. It was in my recommendation. God doesn't want me to quit. I'll comment after landing my first client Gs.
THANK YOU Patrick!!! Its sad. I have people like my own Dad, who are constantly trying to get me to quit this entrepreneur quest of mine by convincing me to take courses on IT to be a jerky ass computer engineer. But its not like the first time I have been discouraged to quit by someone who is or was meant to be trusted. Hell, nothing will ever stop me from (not trying) but reaching that brass ring. Even when I am not making money, I am still learning a lot and I am getting closer and closer to that very first CLOSE! Because I am. Thank you. There's no room for quitters! You are probably the best out of all the self-help/entrepreneurs on the internet. A lot has to do with your ethnic background because I come from the same one as yours. I know what the hardships are when coming from a middle eastern background trying to make it in the USA
16:56 one of the most profound words I heard on your channel, Patrick: "I'm not buying that." These words are especially valuable to me because in my team of 5, when faced with a loss or a failure, I hear Pat's voice say, "I'm not buying that!", and I immediately go over what went wrong and as if by magic, a solution is found.
God bless bro I have been following your contents for sometime now and they have really helped me in following up prospective clients and they have been 500% increase in closed deals since I have been watching Valuetainment. Thanks a lot.
hello !! here from Palestine, i also watch your videos you are such a good motivator ! im going through a lot of difficulties everyday !! i want to build a business from scratch and it costs more money than i have and i have other sources to rely on :/ at some point i like it when i think how im going to tell my story in the next years ! of how i broke i was and had 0 support and still made it ! thank you for your videos and please keep doing what you are doing maybe you are inspiring me :) thank you indeeed
Thank you so much for this video Patrick I needed it. Quitting is a bad habit. We have to beat it. I think Im just surrounded by quitters so I had let them consume me with their way of thinking but this reset my mindset. 💯 Its so true we can motivate ourselves to either give up or try harder each day. Im learning so much with your channel🥺😭
Man, this is honestly hard to accept. I want to just exit the video and keep on my train of thought after watching reason #2 but I realize that that is me trying to defend my false beliefs. Its me trying to subconsciously console myself for not performing at the level I know I am capable of. Tough stuff to digest when you are in the moment of being overwhelmed.
Quitting can be a very good thing. Especially if you are stuck in a job you hate. Getting out of it is excellent. Quitting a relationship from people who are toxic helps. Quitting smoking. Quitting drinking. Quitting a lot of the over the top luxries in life that you don't need every day. It's not about NOT quitting, it's knowing WHEN to quit something.
Pat, your concept ring powerfully in my heart!The way I see it, because you said bussiness is a math formula(hope it becomes a game for me someday), Multiplying a negative number with a positive one results in negative results. So I'm currently improving on procrastinating on bad habits.Let me be decisive: Over eating is Bad, Procrastinating is Bad; so if I combine them what results will I get?💥 BOOM 💥 Positive ones! Combing and Sperating habits= Multiplying and Divideing numbers!Thanks for sharing your ideas!
16:40 very good advice! My brother was one who caught me that I do self pity sometimes. He told me a couple of times. Simply catching myself helps me combat it! Now I'm not saying one shouldn't analyse their mistakes and think on what went wrong and how to better it - but one should know how to do that without dwelling in their mistakes and pitying themselves. And when I catch myself - guess what, my opinion doesn't change. I don't suddenly think I'm all awesome and such. But I sart thinking about productive things! That makes a huge difference! (And eventualy I _do_ think higher of myself, because silly things don't keep me from seeing my good sides and worth! Which is motivating and upbuilding and thus leads to progress.)
Man I become emotional after this video. May be I was a quiter may be it raining snow in the morning of first day of new year in Paris. Don't know. But it touch my heart what you said. That's for feeling with tears and thanks for content. Love from Paris
This video reminds me of back in 2010 when I wanted to attend IT school but my health didn't let me. I'm epileptic and I was having too many seizures. Neurologist prescribed different medications until the right one was found. But that not my point. My point is that I told myself if I wait for a miracle to happen I might never get my IT certificate. So I took the course online. I'm a hands on type of person. So to practice what was studying I'll buy damaged computers and practice with them. I got certified and started repairing computers at home. 2012 a surgery was done. Then I started doing On Site work. If I would had waited for the miracle it would have been time wasted. And one thing I always tell myself and to others too. IF THERE'S A WILL THERE'S A WAY.
I've been daily vlogging for a year. It's rough. I record and edit all of my stuff. It takes me 3-4 hours of editing per night. I also have a successful voice over business (10 years strong) and am practicing 4 hours a day to reach the PGA. I am almost a scratch golfer. It's extremely difficult to do it alone. Your words and energy are extremely encouraging. Thanks a ton, sir!
Sir, this video couldn't have come at a better time. First time I saw you was at our Woodland Hills office 5 years ago. Now I'm trying to build a startup transportation company for people in wheelchairs. Your videos help me put everything back in to perspective. Thank you and God bless!
+Archangel “xOAzraelOx” Azrael I remember the Woodland Hills days. Looks like you're building a business that's making a positive impact. Keep charging.
Pat I'm sorry you guys stopped the channel. I'm still listening to your videos and hope you come back because your content is amazing brother. I hope whatever the reason for the channel being turned off gets resolved so you can come back stronger and with new amazing content! I am in the process of starting my own business and your channel has been one of the best resources I've been privileged to tap into. Thank you.
I will be sending my pillow soon! I am almost finished making it! Thanks again to you and your team for the valuable information. You guys are so awesome
Pat... I am a feminist and want to tell you how happy you make me when you always, always, always include girls & women in your examples. It's like a soothing balm on my heart. Thank you for being the person that you are.
Great video as usual Pat! You're a great introduction to personal development and entrepreneurship for many people who don't know about these fields.. An untrained mind is a danger to you and those around you. The well trained mind is the greatest tool in your arsenal. Perspective in life helps. Time also helps/heals. Stand guard at the door to your mind. What thoughts, beliefs, values, ideas, attitudes, mindset do you have in your head/life? These affect your decisions, relationships, actions, habits.. And vice versa.. Ultimately all of these affect the quality of your life! Is your brain empowering you to lead a better, more connected, purposeful, fulfilling life? Or is it keeping you down and out.. Watch our for our brain's biases! Selective hearing and confirmation bias is a dangerous thing. Challenge your ideas, beliefs and so on. Question everything! John Demartini has a great quote about: "Any area of your life you're not empowered in someone will overpower you in" - I take that to mean think for yourself in all areas of your life, don't live unconsciously doing/thinking what you've always done.. Or someone else will tell you what to think/feel/do and what to do with your money, time, energy!
Morning Routine: 1.Wake up 2.Kiss my wife Good Morning 3.Eat breakfast 4.Jump in the car and listen to my favorite song 3 times (in average) 5. Listen to Valuetainment while driving. Thanks man.
This was so timely I was ready to quit. I got promoted. and there is so much new stuff I have to learn and I'm worried about not succeeding and even being demoted
Igor Hawkingz brother. You got promoted right? The moment you got here even then you were new to it. Learn new things that you need to. Again. I sometimes wonder life's too short and there's so much to learn. So if you have got the opportunity to learn new things do it. After getting promoted work even harder. That's what got you here right?? Do it.
I quit because it’s the right thing to do for my sake. I always was pushed around, not motivated, and always frowned upon myself. I was going to be on a swim team league, but to realize the schools team was there, so I quit right on the spot.
It's a judgement call, for sure. With my eBay gold business, there was absolutely no scalability. The shitty pay I got from it was not going to get better with time. So I quit. But when I chose to become a stock trader, I chose it for LIFE. There's no plan B. This is it. I even bottomed out the account a couple times, but it wasn't enough to sway me. If I can't make money in the world's largest pool of money, then I'll never be wealthy. That was and still is entirely unacceptable to me. I'm now pretty damn wealthy, but I still trade. I can't see myself 'retiring'. What the hell would I do with the next several decades?
When you get overwhelmed you either step up or let it get you down. Don't make quitting a habit. You need massive amounts of activity to start in the beginning. Your thoughts determine your level of belief. Some people like having problems in their life to use as a scapegoat. Failure can come from your own indiscretion. you need to have good friends around you. Doubting can lead to a spiral of negative thoughts. Don't let confirmation bias convince you to quit. Know who you're taking your advice from.
dont give up know things are going to work out if u are aggresively patient when u hit a wall u have a choice give up or keep on going dont make quitting a habiat
So so so much incredible content in this video. This nailed it on the head, and re-wired me...and Pat I listen to growth content every day. This was something special. THANK YOU.
Also Pat, would you do a video on finding a mentor? I saw the video you had about "Finding and Keeping a Mentor" but it was really just about the process of what a mentor can do for your success and how it builds you. It would be great to learn from you where to look for that person, actionable steps to reaching out & what to say, and how to exude the right traits to attract that person..ect.
My personal experience. I saw this older gentleman, who was a member of Toastmasters club I also attend. He could see in the couple of months of my membership that I was diligent, on time, etc. So I called him and asked to business/life mentor me. I also asked to schedule the first meeting right away. We did. Between that call and our first meeting, I went to see an event he put up for a charity that's really close to his heart. Small event, and I was the only one of that social circle to attend. It really touched him. Plus it was really far from home with no car. It was a demonstration of how much I valued him as a person. On our first meeting, we talked a little bit about that event. I had prepared an agenda and I led the discussion in a subtle way (careful not to boss around a life-long leader who was president of a multi-national corporation at some point). The discussion had a lot of back and forth, I had to make a conscious effort to let him speak more than me. I started by telling him a bit about me, my business, my motives and ambitions. Then I told him why I wanted to have one (or more) mentor. Then I told him why I wanted him to be my mentor. It was a mixture of personal fit, experience, and his way of being. Take-aways from my experience: 1- Hang out where suitable mentors can be found: board of trades, charities, Rotary clubs, etc. 2- Get involved. 3- After a while you establish relationships and reputation in that context. 4- Identify a potential mentor. 5- Just ask. 6- First meeting, be prepared. 7- Make sure you tell them why you want them, because mentors are often too humble. 8- Always remember that you are responsible for the relationship to happen, especially in the beginning. Don't count on them to prepare a meeting agenda or to proactively book an appointment with you. 9- Listen way more than you talk. 10- Always respect and value them. They don't need to help you.
I believe that part about self sabotage was genius🔥🔥🔥, it’s really opened my eyes. Pat your videos are always something special. Can’t wait for valuetainment to hit 1M I’m excited
Thanks pat, i watch your videos everyday, i re-watch some of them over and over. I have seen increase in my business by 800% since last year i share what i learn from you with other entrepreneurs and encourage them to watch your videos but unfortunately most entrepreneurs do not want to spend time to learn. I on the other hand, as a result of your videos have become a more stable entrepreneur and have seen rapid business growth and created a great working environment for staff. I wish that we could meet someday because in a way you are a mentor to me as a startup entrepreneur. Thank you for doing this!
Thank you for these videos! I was going through a very rough time while in my insurance business journey! this videos give me so much value and i really needed it today! Thank you Valuetainment!
+TheDefkon1 there you go. He insurance business will kick your butt the first 2-3 years but it'll reward you heavy in year 5-10 if you work VERY VERY HARD.
Pat, I like the idea that you talked about having someone who believes in me, besides myself. I like this proposition. I have never thought about this before, and I should go and get someone out there. My wife believes in me full heartedly. I just need one more person to fully believe in me too. Thanks for the advice and great work on your videos. I love them.
Another reason people quit is they feel powerless. Although this can go side to side with being overwhelmed it can be a huge contributing factor to quitting.
As someone with severe ADHD the procrastination thing hits home really hard. Like I know I should do it. But I can never motivate myself until consequences are right around the corner.
I was worried and it’s the end of the world. Now I’m worried because I know and confirmed it’s the end of the world. This is why I’m so good. The world never stops ending. I have a lack of results because I don’t have a voice. I am now trying to find my voice.
I was never a quitter b4 17 ,but I started quitting everything when I drop out of my first highschool at 17,since then I have been a quitter. I quit almost everything in my life now I'm 30 , been working on myself, need to find new direction in my life, my parents are getting old, I see them aging, I don't want them worrying about me and how am I going to survive after they leave the world. great vlog. thanks.
