I love that “procrastinate tomorrow” Procrastinate the procrastination and boom! You got the do it now mentality

"Procrastinate tomorrow" I'm DEAD LOL

I'm not even an entrepreneur , I'm a college student but this video has helped me get back on track . Thank you !

Who's watching this in January of 2020 to get their mind right? Let's get it!!!!

My takeaways: 1. Be predictable- You are showing up everyday. Momentum is very crucial in being productive. 2. Consistency You keep on showing up. Your effort will be compounding. 3. Preparation. "The most prepared man wins." Everything is all about preparation. 4. Do more. Always do a little bit more. 5. Subscribe to the "Now Mentality" Do it now. Why wait tomorrow? Don't Procastrinate. 6. Find a running mate. You need someone to motivate you when you think you cannot do it anymore. 7. Don't fall for a work smart behavior. Do your commitment. Challenge your excuses. 8. Cut Distractions. Get rid of the things that distract you with your goal. 9. Absolute Focus. Train your mind to focus. Stop making excuses. 10. Have to do list. 11. Eat right. Be healty enough to meet your goals. 12. Plug the leaks. Know all things that wasting your time. 13. Cut the fat. Fat- work that you can delegate or no connections with your goal. be productive. 14. Drop perfection. - Do something or regret. 15. To avoid burnout. Do something that could refresh your mind, body and even spirit to be productive again. Work hard andreward yourself. Work ethic moral.

There's so much value here man... lot of wisdom

"..no 4-hour work week develops an Apple..". No doubt about that Pat!

14:09 Literally employed this method today with this very video in mind. I elevated a 7 day issue and resolved in 38min. Done ✅. Thanks brother.

One lesson i learned from my small experience, is that u can't have days off, if u are at ur limit u can take a short period of time where u work less but don't stop working, building a strong habit and momentum is like pushing a giant round rock, to make it start rolling u need an insane amount of effort but once it starts rolling u need less strength to keep it moving, if u make it slow down it's still easy to make it regain the speed but the important thing is to not let it stop otherwise u are back at square one.

"Drop Perfection"s advice can also be comunicated as "Do it, even if you do it badly. Because it's the first time, it's going to be awful no matter what, since you have no experience. It's normal. So instead of not even doing it, do it but do it badly. That's better than nothing." It's similar to drawing a rough sketch of something. It's at least something. (From Jordan B. Peterson's Lessons on RU-vid)

Every morning I wake up at 4AM and listen to this video while I work, then I begin my morning routine. Thank you Pat.

3:26 I love the way you're breaking this down. I've been a lazy shit, half-assing for years. Too much potential undeveloped right now.

Standard of Win: - Belief - Accept - Behavior "Do More Now"

your a hero man, after all that work you've done for the entire day your face is looking so tired and you're still there providing value for your people. It truly is a symbol of hard work and work ethic.

It's amazing how this video does not have that many views compared to his other videos with catchier titles, simple because people don't want to hear about WORK ETHIC. Instead, they just want things to come easily to them. Keep up the real talk, Pat.

WOW... this is THE BEST CONTENT I'VE EVER SEEN ON WORK ETHIC!!!!!!! I'm truly blessed to have found this channel about 5 months ago and have seen almost EVERY single video!!!! Thank you so much Patrick!!

I'm a plumber so I've been plugging the leaks every day for 26 years, lol. Thank you for your videos Pat, I watch 1 video every morning as part of my routine, sometimes the same one over and over, as said in this video, I'm training my brain to focus. Much love and aloha to everyone

This is what I have been missing: strong ethics. Now I found the key to the door of my dreams.

This video can be expanded into a full blown book. Thanks for the value, Pat!

Drop perfection. I really liked this point and I've never heard anyone else cover it in this way. Literally happens to me with my university essays. I don't want to start them - because everytime I do start them I know I'll be up until 6am perfecting them. Then what happens is they get left to the last minute and suddenly I have 3 to do in one night and I rush them all so much they're poor. Whereas, if I just do them as they come and get them done - they might not be perfect but they'll be very good and much better than a night before job.

I was searching for something like this! I was never taught how to work hard as a kid, excuses were completely fine. But I always wanted to have a killer work ethic because my Goals require that. Currently working on this since 3+ years and I is a hard and painful journey especially when everyone around me tells me to stop working so hard. I failed many many times, slept in many times. But I'm making progress. I have the right habits in place. And these steps really helped me a lot. Thank you for your time & effort pat it is highly appreciated!

I'm in love with your mentality man.

Patrick how hard working you are,I always read about superheroes but you are the real life hero, a true hero, you are the captain America.You belong to military, you fighting hard and you empower others.A Grand Salute to you.

Amazing video Pat, your videos always put me back in the right track.

Who’s watching this in January of 2021 to actually make sure 2021 will be better than 2020?

Thank you for sharing your thoughtful content…for putting it out there with the passion that many of us need and strive for. I'm starting to listen to you almost every morning. Your voice and words are calming, clarifying, uplifting and motivating. It feels real and genuine. I am grateful to have your channel as a source for having a better relationship with myself and the world around me?

This man is a rock star. Happily pay for advice of this quality.

I like how you talk as if you're a buddy of mine who I'm skyping with right now.. Like a buddy who wants to see me succeed as much as he did. Thanks for being so genuine! I keep forgetting that it's a how-to-vid, that's how good you are at what you do! 👏👏👏

Perfection prevents Explosion.... So so true and my favourite part of this episode

I will be watching this once a day. I am 41 and been feeling burnt out. I used to work 12 hour days, but now I struggle, and I am working at getting back to my young self.

Click here for the notes of this video. www.patrickbetdavid.com/improve-work-ethic/

It is hard to have a good work ethic, you most likely are not born with one, you must create your own over time.

1. Be Predictable 2. Consistency 3. Prepare the night before 4. Do More 5. Subscribe now mentally 6. Finding running mates 7. Don’t fall for the only “Work part concept” 8. Absolut focus 9. Cut the descration 10. Have a To-Do list 11. Eat Right 12. Plug the Leaks 13. Cut the Fat 14. Drop the perfection 15. To Avoid Burnout Have Your Own Escape

The sheer value of each and every one of these videos is absolutely amazing

Absolutely the greatest channel on RU-vid. Thank You so much for sharing your knowledge with us, Patrick.

Pat, you are simply making me a better man! I cannot thank you enough for showing HOW it MUST be done. It is knowing how to do the right things the right way!

This is the best advice I’ve heard.I’m a construction business owner.in nyc trying to get my business to the next level and land more high end work..sometimes my motivation dies out but I watch one of your videos and it once again motivates me to keep going .thank you

This guy is awesome . I'm going to start watching all his videos with my wife and kids

best tutorial video I've seen on RU-vid. Well objective and on point. .. that word clearing as a start is awesome. Wish to see more youtubers doing the same rather than hearing them talking hours of their own morals that doesn't necessarily help others. thank you Patrick

Hey man. I've just got out of a slump and your channel helped me a lot. This video was exactly what I needed as i was unsure of people with whom I wanted to associate. You have helped me a great deal and I can't put it in words here. Thank you all the way from India. Hoping to meet you sometime in future and showing my gratitude in person.

I’ve watched this like too years ago and just now again. And I’m realizing how important and good msg it is for me to remember

Im so happy I found this channel! Been watching it and hearing it while doing my work outs at the gym and all of this points are exactly what I needed to hear, getting my real estate license pretty soon and this points are amazing. Not only this video, but the compound effect of all of the other videos as well! Thank you so much!

Thank you for taking the time to break all this quality content down. Definitely appreciate it. Keep it coming brother and God bless!!!

Patrick you are the man! The value you provide for free is insane! You've helped me more than some of my own family. Thank you for making me realize my potential.

I watch this, while doing my daily accounting, at some point I yelled at you and pausing cause I can't process the numbers with the wisdoms that you preached... what an amazing channel! Got me thinking, and got me going

as a musician, i’ve constantly outworked those around me and thought that i was the hardest working musician on the planet. this video proved me wrong. i haven’t been pushing myself, i surround myself with distractions, and i’ve always made excuses. no more. thanks for the video, it really opened my eyes to myself.

I have been listening to your content for over a year even prior to opening this channel. It has helped me tremendously with my own personal development as well as building and growing my business. Thank you for your videos!

Thank u for an amazing video as always. I grew up without my parents you are the father I was always looking for. Such a great inspiration! Thank you Pat ❤

I am starting a new job and just signed it back, I am watching this in preparation for the job, this turned my nerves into excitement, thank you!

Thank you I coulda gave up yesterday when I heard some Grimm news but I was listening to your video and took a lap outside and didnt cry and let it ruin my whole week I went back in there and did what i had to do to be accountable and predictable and i made it happen i love you brother ❤🙏🏽

Thank you for this video. I needed to get refocused on my company and this really helped. Thank you! Please keep up the great work

Insanely accurate.. So pleasing to observe the way broad audiences are being influenced by entrepreneurs whom posses a deep and clear understanding towards the meaningfulness of identifying your purpose in life, which will eventually dictate the direction and destination of the rest.

Love your content, I am 50 years old and a 29 year Entrepreneur. Love the break down you present. Appreciate the step-by-step that is so important to even someone like myself who owns four businesses, it helps fill in the gap’s and makes us understand why we do what we do. And most importantly how to do what we do. Keep up the great content.

I learn something every time I listen to your talks. Thank you Patrick

Patrick you are the man! The value you provide for free is insane! You've helped me more than some of my own family. Thank you for making me realize my potential. AMAZING VIDEOS SIR THANKS FOR SHARING YOUR WISDOM.

A tip for being more productive is to watch RU-vid videos in 1.5x or 2x speed (works in desktop)

Man! You are a champ. Whenever I listen to you I feel energetic and reinforcement of what I know already or just thoughts “ how did I lose that trait “. God bless brother!

I've watched this video numerous times and it's still one of my favorites. Good to Go! Keep them coming Sir!

This is so great, thank you so much Pat!

I'm glad you defined this... A few times I've thought to myself, I need to have a better work ethic.. I've had a phenomenal work ethic my entire life, I just need to figure out my road map and know what's next to do. :/

Im not a business man but this is so helpful and i cant wait to put it to practice, im doing a to do list something that i thought was so cringey, this video opened up my eyes and makes me realise that my work ethic was so so bad. I had the work smarter not harder, but it’s actually a mixture of both!

I’m watching this video in February of 2022 as a sales manager. This is gold…thank you brother. Love the content

A good book to read on a strong work ethic "The Compound Effect" by Darren Hardy. How do you get over a plateau?

Hey Patric !! I have been learning many things as usual and trying to implement it to my entrepreneurship journey. Thanks .

Hey Pat! thanks a lot whenever I lost track and whenever I watch this kind of clips from you always convince to me to pursue my big dreams towards my personal purpose

I’m so appreciative of your videos! I send them to my friends and family.

Perfection prevents explosion every single time❗️

I am committed to self-development & thriving.

This is the Greatest channel for entrepreneurs. Thanks so much for all your mentorship that you do. I’m implementing everything I’m learning from you this year 2020.

Right, Right! This is a blessing

Amazing!! Your videos are like a pep talk. Thanks for the advice.

I like how you consistently mention your people by name. We as viewers don't know who the hell they are, but I know they appreciate getting acknowledged that way. Well done.

I watched so many valuetainment interviews,podcasts,episodes. This guy is a true workaholic in the truest form. Congrats!!!

Love all your videos man!

I see you have taken a lot of cues from Kobe Bryant's Work Ethic. That man is a living legend. Love the videos, keep them coming.

We are so thankful for you Pat!

I just hit 600% of my quota because unlike my colleagues who clock out exactly at 5 and in exactly at 8, I worked at least 50% more than that (12 hours minimum ). And I still have 5 months to go. Last year I hit 3775% of my quota. ( my company tripled my quota after last year’s result otherwise I would already be at 7000% quota right now for this year). Hard work!

Your videos always depress the heck out of me b/c I see how I've fallen short and I'm usually 50/50 whether I can take it to the next level. But it always resonates despite feeling overwhelmed. But also with each video the feeling of defeatism recedes a bit, a bit more each time. I did a 6-day writing productivity challenge, trying to hit a word count each day, and I managed it but it was HARD hitting it each day. It was only my obsession with always finishing something that pulled me through. This is useful for everyone, not just sales. Thanks for the teaching.

Thanks man for the priceless nuggets. Will internalise all the knowledge and catapult myself to the next level everyday of my life. Thanks for the sacrifice Pat Friday night and u doing this for us!!!!

The only thing I watch now on RU-vid. Ever. Until like this guy said. I know it by heart. This is your destiny. Born to lead with that voice I’ll listen to anything. Bless you ten food for this information

Thank you for this. I’m no longer an entrepreneur however I have achieved many goals in my life and career! Here are some of them. Learning to sing, teaching myself to read music when I was about 5 as no one around me could teach me after playing by ear which comes very whilst listening to as many different records as I could. I used to ask if I could look through and listen to records from other people’s collections whenever I got to visit my real family to find new artists that I hadn’t heard of as there was no internet, RU-vid, Spotify or iTunes. I was extremely happy to sit with giant headphones on listening to anything and everything. As a teenager I’d go to record shops to go through 1000’s of records. I spent a lot of time in HMV Oxford Street, London listening to tracks in booths! I memorised every album cover and the track orders. I managed to control my anxiety enough in order to perform well and earn money every weekend to feed my family for 25 years. At school when asked what did I want to be when I grow up I used to say I want to be a singer I was laughed and sniggered at. I loved bumping into teachers/pupils years later because they’d always ask “what are doing now?” and I’d say I’m working and earning very good money as a vocalist. I achieved my goal! I’m still my worst critic and I have to try and forget about perfection as it’s not possible! Music became my career, my escape and my reward. Sadly my singing career is currently finished but not over. I’m now working in a refrigerated warehouse working for the biggest U.K. supermarket chain. It’s not great as it’s a hostile “dog eat dog” environment but it’s what I have to do right now in order to survive. I do apply my work ethic everyday that I’m there. I constantly refer back to it and try not to get distracted by the vast amount of people there who do not meet my work ethic and stay focused on my own. I have ptsd and my organisation skills are not great which has affected my performance in my new job. It was so bad that my employer started their process of elimination. So I now I have to think and prepare, I prepare for the next shift just before I leave the current one by leaving the tools I need to do my job in exactly the same place so I know they are there ready. It has removed some of the anxiety and self doubt that I battle with every day. My mother had psychosis and I was sadly taken away from her and my dad and put into care via court order at 9 months. I remained in care until I was about 7 and abused mentally and physically by both my foster parents who are now dead and therefore got away with it. (thankfully my real parents never gave up on me or my sister and fought to get us back!) so I don’t know if I’ll ever remove all all of it because the blame and shame of telling yourself it’s all your fault for as long as you can remember is so deep routed but I CAN remove some of it. I will not let the abusers continue to destroy or ruin the rest of my life and I mentally fight with those little demons that tell me I’m crap and that no one likes or wants you every day. Ive started to arrive earlier and my personal performance is improving. I’m not doing it for my employer, I’m doing it for me. BOOM! I remind myself every day that you have wade through mud to get to the cleaner, fresher waters. Music is still my escape and reward. When I’m on my break I listen to music in my car, be it Mozart or Rage Against The Machine. I choose whatever track my brain decides it needs that day and put it on repeat for a while. Recently it’s been Shake It Off by Taylor Swift as people still laugh and snigger! It’s been on repeat for at least a week as things have been really bad recently. I’ve been verbally abused quite a lot at work recently. I try to have a thick skin but it doesn’t always work! My new goal is to do get into backing vocals. Aiming to provide backing vocals on artists recorded tracks or at live gigs if and when they’re ever allowed again. Thank you again for reminding me of these pointers. I still get a bit lost some days and lose my focus which allows the mind gremlins to come back and talk to me so I’ll come back to watch and listen again in order to keep them at bay. Once again, thank you! Xxxx

Thanks Pat. Sharing this.

I wish I could do more for you than just like and share your videos. Love the content brother

This is GOLD!!! Discovered your channel yesterday from your interview on COVID. So much TRUTH

All these years later, these words still resonate with my ears. I'm with PBD all the way. More power to all my brothers and sisters who are out here trying to make it big in their lives.

You asked us to watch this week. I did! Thank you Pat! You're an inspiration toward achieving the very best in life!

This is my favorite video thus far. Thank you so much!

Thank You Patrick! Always good stuff. I am going to put all this into practice with my new job.

This is one your best videos Pat. It’s a timeless classic 🔥

Great Video as always Pat. It definitely has shifted my mindset on my own perosnal work ethic as I start my 90 day run to hit MD. This is the last run of the year and I have to do whatever it takes to get it. Therefore I will apply your key points and make Marketing Director and Equity happen

You're gold, man!!

you've always helped me by asking questions I thought I knew the answer too or felt uncomfortable answering. Thank you Pat! Great vid

Took me a few times to watch this video to understand it completely. I'd watch this video every now and then, and realized when people have a change in perspective, or aligned, frequency, vibration, energy, lens, beliefs, ways, priorities; whatever you want to call it; you understand these types of videos far differently and wisely... So I personally call it priorities, or thought language, learning to think different ways similarly to speaking different languages... And ya. These videos are very valuable. PBD knows a lot, understands it, and explains it really well.

the gold literally sunk in the second time I watched this video, for real. :-)

One day I am going to give credits to you for me being successful and rich. One day I will be in front of you say " BECAUSE OF YOU I MADE IT". Many things you tell about yourself and teach resonates with me. And the one place where you explained that you stayed in office and worked whole night and went back to read and sleep, that does'nt seem boring to me. Long term goals are more exciting than short term pleasure. I find myself in same situation when others are out there partying every weekend and I am investing my time in working on my business. And yeah i do believe that you had dinner with presidents and celebrities and CEOs. Life is lot sweeter that way. Thank you so much for being a hope and motivation for all young entrepreneurs. You are the man

thank you for all your content! Really helps and can't get enough of it! Keep Going!

Thank you Patrick for this video. This is definitely a subject that needs to be talked about. A lot of people want to build a lifestyle business and have everything automated and only work 20 hours a week their first year in business and make millions of dollars. While all that is sexy it really isn't realistic when your first getting started. The 4 hour work week is something that comes later on after you've consistently taken action over a period of time. Again you still have to put in the 12 hour days to get everything going at first. The people that have gotten to the 100 million dollar level got there by taking consistent action for years.
