How to Make Tough Decisions 

Successful people make decisions quickly and change them slowly. Unsuccessful people make decisions slowly and change them quickly! - Napoleon Hill, Think and Grow Rich.

Taking emotions out of decisions is one key to success.

Thinking of switching schools and moving out my moms house to my dads , I don’t really know what to do but time Can only tell

1. Game theory Ask: if i take action what are the consequences and how do i respond and reaction Prisoner dilemma 2. Worst case scenario 3. The decision doest match your values and principles 4. Go get great consul Person should be neutral, reasonable and not emotional on topic 5. What are your alternatives 6. Decision fatigue Never make massive decision when you are fatigue 7. Stick with your decision Big decision have slow process but fast movement

Patrick can you please do an Interview with Elon Musk

*If you hesitate* - they will doubt your authority When you come to a conclusion, go all in!

Thank you so much for the value, Pat! As expected your channel lives up to its name!! 🙌 Lessons: 1. Game Theory - The prisoner's dilemma. Think of the consequences of the decision and how you respond to them. 2. Worst Case Scenario Analysis - Can you live with the worst outcome of the decision. 3. Value and Principles - Analyse if the decision aligns with your life values and principles. 4. Get Great (Objective, experienced, reasonable & unbiased) Counsel. 5. Consider your Alternative(s). 6. Decision Fatigue - Avoid making big decisions when fatigued! Sleep on it if you can. 7. Stick with your decision - Once you've made your decision, stick to it!

For the first 30MINUTES...I spent time eyeing the WRIST WATCH ⌚😂😂😂....a kul one David....the point got in.

You should have a channel for all the fatherless kids!!! Boys and men need your advice and mindset... ❤️💪

Cut away from the past...I'll remember that one!

Sometimes as weird as it sounds you just gotta flip a coin and commit to something. You don't want to get caught in analysis paralysis.

1. Game theory - beautiful mind(movie) - making decisions where the biggest odds are in our favour (prisoner's Dilema!) 2. Worst case scenario - accept and move on 3. If the decision does not meet my values and principles. - Move on! 5. Get great cousel - neutral and reasonable -not biased in some way 6. Don't walk back on your decision. - once you make the decision, abide by it - if fatiguéd sleep on it.

No one has explained this to me as clear as you did. Thank you so much! Been facing tough decisions lately.

simply brilliant to the point thank you. instead of people using energy drink . watch this every day you need to be pumped up .

5:00 "you can go to war and get killed.Can you live with it" *Confusion hits*

Please make a video on how to manage college and business together because a lot of college students watch your videos

Great advice! I’ll take it. I think this was said in here, but I heard once said from a military guy as it pertained to leadership saying, “your not a bad leader because you made a bad decision; your a bad leader because you made no decision.” That stuck with me.

Mr. Patrick Bet David sir I I just wanted to say thank you for the free lessons that were not free for you to learn and I am thankful I do not have to learn the hard way like you did thank you sir

I overthink EVERYTHING. This changed my life thanks man. I truly appreciate every word it’s like gold.

OMG ! my name is Juan that is John in Spanish even I was not planning to rob a bank or nothing similar , I in the moment of making big decisions and not knowing how to handle it yet stop me from doing what I wanted to do! But thanks to you with the value video I can start making important decisions and moving forward to the next decisions and keep moving forward.... thanks Patrick!! Nice to meet you in person a couple of weeks ago in Puerto Rico in the PHP event!

In the book 48 Laws of Power. Enter all decision with boldness.

Patrick, I am going to Vegas. I was not going to come but a friend of mine told me, “You can’t miss out this.” Then I told her, “I am going to see this inspiring man.” Now I am going to Vegas to get more motivation from you.

Thank you. I'll definitely read this book. For months I've been searching for good videos about decision making and I only came across lame self help videos that won't get to the core of the situation. This video truly gets to the point. Pure philosophy applied in life. Thank you.

You are really good Patrick. These are right advice. Hope folks view these videos early in their life

Alright I watched most videos of yours. This one is I believe the one that's going to help me the most. Thank you very much David, the team behind the video as well of course. 🙏

Coach Pat I appreciate the guidance

*"the strongest wills have to make the hardest decisions"* - Thanos

"What's the worst case scenario if I joined the army? I might get killed. Am I Ok to live with it?" I laughed so hard. I like this man lol. SUBSCRIBED!!!

Wow, perfect timing 🙏🙏🙏

You are the BEST MY MAN!! LOVE IT!

This is one of the best advice given by Patrick. Thank you sir.

Number 3, i needed someone to tell me that, i needed to hear that. Thank you so much.

Fascinating info! Invaluable details on decision making. Much appreciated!

you are my greatest teacher, thank you for helping me.

he talks about considering worst case and deciding whether to join the military and go to war. worst case is not death. worst case would be a injury that prevents you from functioning normally for the rest of your life....and there are thousands of veterans to look at if you want to know what could happen. that is a tough decision.

Nice video Valuetainment.

What works for me in terms of having an alternative is to write down the pros and cons of the decision. It's called the Benjamin Franklin method of making decisions. If the pros is greater than the cons then I will execute it. If the cons are greater then I will pass. Ofcourse it works the best by taking in everything what Patrick said. :)

Thank you for all the valuable info Pat!

Patrick you are the best

I just loved the summary ! Thank you Sir =)

This is premium content, much respect Pat.

Design and systems thinking is one of the modern way to deliberate situations where a desired outcome or outcomes is required. I definitely suggest reading about it because it is aligned with much of what Pat was talking about in this episode; another goldmine of valuable information for entrepreneurs. Thank you Pat and keep up your great content! Came here from your "Rules of Mental Toughness" video.

Really helpful vid, thanks Patrick!

Thank you!!

Great information. Thank You Patrick!

❤❤❤❤❤ thanks for helping people with this kind of video

Another thing that came as an Ah moment from this video. Is once you’ve noted worst case scenario and you’re cool with it, quickly note the best case scenario. It will help to propel yourself in mind body and soul to that massive success. Someone wise once told me “stop thinking why it won’t happen start thinking ways it will happen”

Brilliant video, I have started to use this across my business decision and I feel better. Especially with the final point of stick with your decision and do not dwell on mistakes because it does make you feel like utter shit, learn from mistakes do not dwell on them.

Thank you Pat!

That Background Painting is cool.

Thank you!

My tough decisions are changing my job to make more $ but then having enough saved up. I'll get there eventually.

Thanks so much. Perfect timing. I have a job interview Friday with a group that definitely matches my principles and values. However, I can’t put the cart in front of the horse. I’m hoping it feels right as well.
