I'm 19 and new to the entrepreneurial scene, this video helped a lot!

I believe in showing not telling. Too many talkers, so very few implements.

I am a 22 yo and i work with my mom in a business we started togheter. Your videos help me very much because soon i will go out and do things on my own, start my own business and chase my world class dreams! Thank you Patrick, you are on my top 5 influences and inspirations!

Thank you Patrick, one day as a successful entrepreneur, I will not forget to mention your name as my mentor. God bless you.

Hey Patrick,I am one 19 year old from India, working on my startup and your videos are really helping me to deal with the regular highs and lows I face in my startup.You are the only person I follow as a mentor.Thank you so much Sir for such a valuable content !

I am a 22 year old entrepreneur, and I am in the aerospace industry. My business specializes in UAV's for government/commercial use. It has been very difficult to be young and powerful in this industry, but we are succeeding at it!! I watch every video that you post, and learn as much I can! You have been a great mentor, and you don't know me at all! I just wanted to personally say thank you!

I’ve been a part of PHP for a few weeks now ,and for the past two weekends I’ve been contemplating going out to party with friends or staying late at the office... this video really made it clear for me to cut the occasional drugs out of my life. I’m going to qualify for Train The Trainers, and attend that over EDC this May, a few days after my 18th birthday. Thanks again Pat for spreading the wisdom!!! I will meet you officially one day... speaking that into reality right now.

I found out about this channel a few days ago. I now have a regret. I regret not finding this channel earlier. Mr. Patrick you are full of golden nuggets! When (not if) I become successful, I will attribute my success to you as well. Love your channel, you are making a world of difference to many people.

My drug is RU-vid and watching the unnecessary vines and what not that are really just a waste of time. That will stop. I have dreams of wanting to change the world like any kid my age. This content teaches kids like us how to navigate the world as an Entrepreneur, thank you Mr. Bet-David for believing in us!

I guess thats the main point, work hard and people are gonna notice your drive and take you seriously. Also, the 16th episode of valutainment podcast discusses about some of the really good points too ,it's basically about how to self promote but if anyone follows those points which increase your credibility , people around you definitely will begin to take you seriously and do business eventually.

sir you r so simple and straight....

In a world of short term fixes and the constant hunger for instant success I live this quote by PBD "The ones who will get ahead will be those who can focus on one thing at a time". I have done a daily realistic to do list for the past 2 years and It has rocketed my productivity compared to my peers. Dont get caught up in jumping ship every couple of months.

😭😭😭look at Kobe as an entrepreneur 😭😭😭🙏

Thank you Patrick. I'm a 20 year old full-time engineering student and entrepreneur. Your videos are extremely helpful.

it's amazing how much time and effort you put into these videos, this has been extremely helpful for a young entrepreneur!

Number twelve was interesting to hear! I've recently started imagining myself a fare few years down the road - perhaps not my financial position, but myself as a person - and found that after a while a lot of what I wanted to see in myself - who I want to be in the future - became second nature, now.

Thank you for your videos. I am 23 and find this very valuable. Been following this channel for the last 5-6 months, one the best about business/entrepreneurship. what makes your videos the best is that you keep it real, no sugar coating. Thanks again Chris from Melbourne, Australia

I'm 13 years old looking to start as early as I can, and I just want you to know that you my sir have inspired me to be one of the greatest. My family doesn't believe in me but you have picked me back up and inspired me to prove them all wrong... Thank You

tell us about how to speak effectively, like you do! :)

For drugs I was doing weed and edibles and I was still doing work but not reaching the highest level everyday with my goals. Recently I made a list on things to stop doing or never do again and what should I do instead. Now I be working 14-16 hour days (work and my purpose) stopped drinking for fun and smoking and I relax but I relax simply and learn new things while relaxing.

Salute! to you sir for mentoring us. The "Valuetainment" has become my favorite channel on RU-vid, because of it's great content. Your videos helped me so much to gain more knowledge. Respect from India🇮🇳🇮🇳

I am 19. I never aplied for a job if I did I was rejected at all sales jobs I don't use facebook yet. As a young person you must start a biz yourself and hustle your way to pay for that business or get a job on comission. I do door-to-door sales now and all I have to do is wait to get aproved then I start my own little door-to-door biz. Allot of people will stay employé because of the people in that culture they well tell you it's safe and they can rely on the government and they can't do it because their story about why they can't do it. The Employé works for money. The entrepreneur makes money work for him. There is a difference in getting a job vs going all in on your dream.

20 and pursuing Accounting IS undergrad, I watched some of your videos and I have learned so much from it! I read a lot of books and I would be grateful if you recommend books to me that is about entrepreneurship/business? Or anything related to it. I’ll continue to watch your videos on entrepreneurship and gain the wisdom that you teach. Thank you once again!

#14. I can agree with marijuana use as long as its used correctly. I'm looking to start my own business in the cannabis industry.

This video honestly is the best informative video on this topic.. .! ! I'm 100% convinced, cause I see these things happening and I'm trying to adapt to all!!

So glad I found this channel. This is great stuff!

Really needed to hear this! I'm starting a business to help independent artists live off of their art, and I was kind of "scared" people wouldn't listen to me because I'm 22 years old. Well, I know what I have to do now :) thanks !! Take care ! From Paris, France

Greetings from The Bahamas, I'm a 19 year old Entrepreneur here, and I felt like this video was made perfect for me.

Young entrepreneurs who are successful out work their competitors, they immerse themselves in their craft

Again, thank you for taking time to empower others.

I just get motivation and positivity from your videos Pat. Keep up the best work mate!

I used to work for Bally Total Fitness too! LOL. They had me selling at the West Covina Mall right by the food court. It amazes me that it was possible to sell a $1500 membership to people at the mall with no prior intentions of buying a gym membership. It was tough because what we were selling was the intangible...health, fitness, hope etc. What I learned is that if you can sell ideas, then you can sell anything. I loved coming back to the gym after a slow sales day for the gym (no walk-ins/appointments) and handing them a few contracts.

When you say valuetainment, you really mean it

Hey man i cant stop saying thanks you inspired me to make that move by giving me the steps how to approach my goals ...this video was very helpful , the video was on point and very informative and straight to the point .

In my region entrepreneurship at a young age is very uncommon and people are naturally suspicious and dismissive. I'm 24 and I'm having to use my father as an associate in meetings, he asks for the calls to action. Since I started doing that, besides grooming and dressing as if I was a 35-year-old executive, the conversion rate on my leads for contracts pretty much tripled.

sir, I love to watch each and every video you upload. Everytime I hear you, I learn. I want to learn more. Keep making clips. I'll be glad to learn. Respect for you, sir. Thank you.

How do you find yourself a mentor?

Really enjoyed this video! Already employing the majority of these points, but it's better to know what you don't know, or in this case, what you haven't employed yet. Thanks.

Pat is the uncle we all needed but never had

You’re doing great things pushing the content you do. Thank you for taking the time to break things down for the next generation coming up!

long story short: Show > Act > Prove Yourself !

I’m glad US-China trade war brought me here. Been a fan ever since.

valuetainment is a repertoire of knowledge!

As a startup young entrepreneur I feel myself like as you said and i really appreciate. I love to tell you my story that transform me to become entrepreneur.

It's nice to know that I am ahead since I'm 16 & when I talk to adults about my knowledge it blows there mind & they said they are shocked I have so much knowledge backed by facts at a young age .

Not having money for a console as a kid seems like a returning motive. I personally really wanted an Xbox 360. After seeing the Halo 4 Limited Edition Xbox 360, I went crazy searching for ways to make money, which brought me to this point

Lol I remember 4 years ago I started raking up pine straw, putting in the back of my Honda accord station wagon and selling door to door for good money haha! never would have wanted a soul to see me raking pinestraw off the side of the road, but now I wish I had more pictures XD!

U give great advice been entrepreneur for 30 yrs and counting..ur.bang on everything

I liked this video and I am commenting here before even watching the video because I know it's for me what the title says. Thanks for making this video Pat, I was looking for this topic to be discussed by an intellectual.

Thank you so much Valuetainment! This is exactly what I needed to know. I'm 22 now and in the process of building our own business. I hope you can help me more. 👍👍

Hi Patrick, I've been watching your videos and find them extremely motivational. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and being a virtual motivator. On this particular video I noticed your body language change when you started discussing drugs. It seems the topic of drugs has had a impact on you.

Just watch this because he choose Kobe as an example of great person /entrepreneur. RIP Kobe Bryant

Surround yourself with people who are way, way ahead of you 13

hi pat, I love your videos. very informative and straight forward. I'm 17 years old and want to become an entrepreneur, I have some ideas and would like to share them with you. thanks

Super Nintendo is still my favorite console of all time. It's good to see Mr. Rogers was as interested in it as I was.

Deliver and keep your word#8

I am 21 years old. I wish i knew this when i was 18 and 19. Appreciate this information

agree with doing things not about speaking....

And they are more competitive and have a burning desire

make some more content like 'life of an entrepreneur in 90 seconds' loved it and love to see more contents like that

I love this mans mind. I am a better business man all because of these videos. Thanks.

create a solution, have expertise in a subject, don't be afraid to do the grunt work, maintain your reputation, if you make money then people are interested, have life experience, take initiative, make your word you bond, appearance matters, be receptive to advice from a proven mentor, work your but off, conduct yourself in a manner that makes you seem older, surround yourself with good company, don't do drugs. Overall stay focused and hustle and the rest will fall into place
