"Teach everybody your secrets so they can leave and be your competitor. But treat them so well so they don't want to." - Richard Branson

1. Feedback; creat environment where feedback is welcome and encouraged 2. Pranks 3. Competition; who can decorate cube best, who has the best ideas? But not combative. 4. Humor 5. Music 6. Hire and keep people who fit the culture 7. Add your personality into it and show it, things that are you, show it. 8. Initiation process 9. Monthly contests with prizes 10. Invest into people like training or talks, bring something to the field force 11. Read together, like a monthly book club 12. Create Incentives 13. Celebrate birthdays together, sing and surprise them 14. Send cards to people; they average 30k a year 15. Emotion, emotion, emotion; find out the hopes and dreams of your workers and what they want and goals, financially too, this helps you create 16. Don’t be lopsided on gender, like trying purposely create an only guy or women environment, and you must balance needs of both groups 17. Surprise your team, like bringing massive therapist to the office or great events, bonding 18. Get to know your people; don’t create an “I am better than you because of my position” 19. Turn your guys into heros; recognition for hard work 20. Allow for crazy things; like winning Guinness record, doing a flash mob, videos together, etc. have fun with people you’re working with 21. Accountability/call out, everyone has to pull their weight, everyone to call out everyone as it effects everyone 22. High standards; no one ever succeeds with low standards, know what you’re doing, clean, etc. 23. Send gifts, specialized and have fun with them 24. Funky friday; Dress codes for fun

You're the man Patrick, I love seeing a vet not only get out and make it but keep that Army mentality too. Thanks for encouraging others to be winners in the real world and not just let life take them for a ride. Airborne brother!

Im a 22 year old who just become a regional manager for fast growing startup and this video was quite possibly the best thing i could have watched. I am addicted to your channel and snap chat your videos to all of my other business friends/partners. Thank you for what you do i will be printing out the PDF!

I like how you caught the book, scolded your team member for it and just rolled right back into what you were saying.

You’re a role model to me... have consumed almost all your contents on RU-vid and following you on Instagram 👌

This brings me back when I was just getting 🧠 warmed up for my 1st go at getting a business off the ground. Wow, the last few years have just been skull crushing & heartbreaking. BRAVE NEW WORD

Thank you so much. I am starting a new job (food service manger) where the culture is in the dumpster and the director wants me to bring it all together. I feel that I can go in now and make a difference. Thank you so much!!

This is one of the best videos I’ve ever watched, you’ve created a work culture that can be taken most anywhere and very much needed in engineering environments

Patrick's facial expression after they threw him the first book was hilarious.

Pure Value every time!! Thanks for all the work you put into giving content!

I'm trying to start a reading culture for mine. The reason being is i want everyone to be on my level so that we can bounce ideas off each other and so i'm spending less time trying to explain a concept and more time planning a strategy :) i've also started a culture with your videos. Every day i will be sharing one of your videos that relates to what we need to do now in the business. Of course, i am watching more than one as you can tell by the barrage of comments i leave but i want them to learn and improve constantly. Our mission statement that we discussed is to "nurture success". That is what is at the heart of our company and so self improvement will be important to us as we develop.

Amazing, every time I come to your channel I sit inspired..love your videos, love you guys! #KeepGrinding

I watch your videos and am amazed with how open and honest you are. My wife and I run a small business and when we first started, we had many difficulties as you would know,. but after listening to your ideologies on family and life goals,. I can honestly say after our first year of business,. my wife and I are closer than we have ever been,. and with continued hard work we are hoping to hire me full time next year. Thank you for your inspiration and helping me and my family keep our dream alive.

I love this video! Got my morning education and feel super pumped! Thanks for this video see you soon!

Hahah for someone who should loosen up; the book toss was actually great move by Mario! You PBD where caught off guard and the THOUGHT of a mistake on video freaked you out! Thanks for keeping it real.

Innovation centers to help the common good. Thanks

Love this guys teaching.

Thank you Patrick and team for the amazing, valuable content you provide to entrepreneurs! I found you 2 days ago and have been watching all your videos. Keep up the great work. When I build my first company, I likely will have virtual staff - and there are tons of great ways you mentioned to help with virtual employees...cards, gifts, contests. Actually, employee interaction/engagement becomes super important with virtual employees. THANK YOU for the 2 book suggestions. They are on my reading list :-)

Love it when he throws the book

Pat went 0-100 real quick towards the end lol 💪💪💪

Highly appreciated creating good Content for the world. 🙏👌 🙏👌

fantastic video...just what i was looking for

Being intentional with pranks .... genius. I’ve recently started managing the family butchers business as my dad’s health ain’t as great as it used to be, 2 stores and no structure, no training . Feeling in over my head your videos are helping

I subscribe your channel because your English is clear and easy to understand even for non-native English speakers like me. I don't have to pay lot of money to go to an expensive English conversation school.

I'll hardly sit through a 10-15 minute RU-vid video, but this was so good Patrick, stayed for the whole thing. Such a good video.

Thank you for this

love this!

Lot of companies stuck in legacy company culture mentality. Their employees are uninspired and hate going to work. Your point about retention is so true.

Your rendition of "Your Love" by The Outfield was incredible, I love it

Dollar-for-dollar, the best entrepreneur resource on the market. (Yes, I know it costs zero dollars. You get the idea.)

Man, that is amazing.

Good video and information brother. Definitely appreciate the realness of your personality that you put into it. 🎯#ZONEDLifestyle

This video just made me so happy. Because I'm a silly person and the business I'm getting into ppl are so blah. I dont want to change who I am i know i will be the best and i refuse to lose myself. Oh you guys should do a camping theam camp in the office.... lol or go camping with the families

ensure an open flow of idea focus on improving, have fun and be humorous , create a competitive environment so people push each other, hire right, utilize music to change people's state, add your own thing to your culture, have an initiation, create contests to encourage competition, invest in your people, create a book club, incentivize, celebrate birthdays, understand your people, create a change in routine, really appreciate those who work hard, have a culture where calling people out is fine, have high standards, send meaningful gifts, have fun dress days

First comment ever, you’re legendary and saying you’re motivational is an understatement.

Great advice, especially for someone who is building a team at a young age because we get to grow with the culture. The question I have is this; Knowing that we have to take "risks" in order to grow, how careful should I be about picking the right people at first? Thank you. -Donavon

Hey patrick can we get a update of some sort on your top 100 books? I have found several that i didnt have and enjoyed. Im going to come back to this later seems good!

Why you didn't list those 24 ways with the minutes at which you begin talking about them (as you did with many other videos). I think it's one of the best things that set your videos apart.

43:40 was really entertaining. It shows that your vidoes are not scripted.

That prank on Pat was so funny.

That competitive racing story was crazy!

thank you

thank you.

Ugh I got rid of FB. I would vote for GOATS tho. He had a good one.

I generally take couple of team members (random pick) to a lunch and chat with them on a regular basis. Some time, i call them to join the lunch with their family members and kids. Taking food with your own team members will give more connect to their personal level. I run a software development company.

38:24-38:54 some of the most powerful words to live by

Hahaha! I wish we could see the video of the prank on the Branch Manager.

1)feedback 2)pranks 3)competition 4)humor 5)

I am the very serious type even outside work and it was stressful, lost a lot of friends and people around because, life is not so serious to be taken serious. a spice of fun will not be bad am learning to loosen up

I'm all about growth character pain and discipline. Let's work Pat

HUGE AMOUNT of valuable wisdom! Thank you man! Now I have to go and make some people VERY HAPPY! =D Much LOVE for what you're doing!

Hey Pat! I have being watching your content and is amazing, plus I use it almost daily to do stuff I need to do at work and in my personal life top. What would you recommend when it comes to the organisations structure? I think culture is got tp be build over the company's structure, otherwise is very hard for people to have fun if they do not know what they are expected to do or achieve in order to meet the company's goals for them. And thank you for all the content it has helped me lots!

have fun with things

GOOD JOB

I completely dig that ciberdust shirt, great interview with Cuban back in 2015

Thanks for posting this video! I work for a manufacturing company that has an "iron fist" type culture and I got sick of it so I am meeting with the president of the company to talk about it. Lots of good tips to add to the things I want to talk about with him. Thanks again!

you and tai are good at what you do thank for the help but i like to comment more on your videos

I know Victor up at Yokohoma. Very nice guy and his resteraunt is very under rated.

Patrick I love your videos I think they are really helpful. Im from Paris, France, and I'd love french people to watch them but a lot of people my age don't speak english well enough to watch videos in English. So I'd love to be able to help you translating your videos to french, to be able to help French people developing this Entrepreneurial mentality. I think it would be great for you and help you reach more people with your youtube channel!!

Pat you have not visited Nigeria, you got to come visit Nigeria. I am a big fan

Wooow Good video

Thanks Patrick, I watched every video of you! I really want your book but it isn't available on my country and cannot buy on Amazon :( where can I have your book? I'm from Indonesia

What is the best way to change the culture when the one you need to teach/change is your son who is in charge of skilled Production?

Pranks are an art and need to be done so that everyone involved can laugh. If you target just grimices and takes it you failed.

never knew about that

That Mario Hooters prank was a great story lol.

Patrick, Im from Aruba. Have you ever been to Aruba and give a seminar for students? What do you think about that?

dont make it stressful have fun so u dont burn out

Patrick I've studied Economics at the University and yes there are some things that give me a vision on the business environment but, I haven't been able to find a good place to put my knowledge like it doesn't fit. After studying your content and I meen real study, I'm now going to create my own company for Business counseling. Hope to see you on a stage in Italy and I would be happy to introduce you to the Italian community

I would've love to see a lot more of his reaction after sitting on that horn. I was crying laughing.

OMG the call-out section. Just today an employee from the parent company was talking to me and was pissed at one of ours (who also works with them). I personally had no problem with the way she worked and so did the other leaders but it completely stumped me I didn't know what to say without upsetting both top performers... Bah next time I'll know what to do

5:48 Pranks loosen people up. PLAY LOOSE! *Love it.* 8:00 Competition (fun office challenges) 13:30 Cultural & personality fit 19:15 Monthly book club 27:50 You can call yourself any position you want, but if somebody else doesn’t see you as CEO, then you’re not a CEO. You can say you’re a CEO, but you’re NOT a CEO - It’s treatment of other people (Game of Thrones, “no true king has to call himself the king”). 38:43 Venezuela and USA 2020? This one didn’t age well unfortunately, Pat. 39:17 Yokohama Sushi, spot in Plano (Dallas) TX. 41:10 Send GIFTS

Video Idea- How does a new person to business create systems in their business to make the business scalable?

when can we create win/win environment and in what part? like mentioned in 7 habits of highly effective people

thanks for this video definitely gonna try it out in my company. btw, have you been to Jamaica in the Caribbean?

Patrick what is your myers briggs type?

I got really frustrated at your t-shirt, the blocks dont add up..

they took the"sir this is a Wendy's"to another level

use competition for more sales

Wow, you guys have a lot of fun. I thought you're a tough guy, always serious, haha.

I'm stealing the prank but will call it the " Super Mario " in homage to the OG creator :)

What did Patrick say when he got upset?

know people to get better bonds

PBD How do you create a team culture when your not the main guy without undermining the person in charge leadership? Very Respectful, AKA

hire the people that fit the culture

WHAT IS THE name of the SONG at the final of this video ?
