My "addiction" took out my edge, I've been sober for almost 50 days. I've got the kiss of life now :)

I am going to make this video my alarm clock

Yes. It wasn’t income that caused me to lose my edge, it was constantly being told to ‘stop being creative’ and ‘stop coming up with all these ways to do things’ - and eventually, I did just that. I’ve lost my fire for a job/career that I was tops at. Always top of the scorecards, getting people promoted, awards, slaying sales records, etc. Thank you for yet another THUNDER BOLT of truth! Now, to get moving and give up the sugar...

This is one of the best videos I've watched. Everything is explained with full energy! Even when Patrick clearly have the flu or something like that, he just ignores it.

The Kiss of Death for Entrepreneurs Key Takeaways: Energy: Move your body so you do not lose your energy needed to win over all situations.

Glad to hear your dad is doing well. Thank you for all you do. You’re an incredible inspiration to us immigrant entrepeneurs. I’m glad my Russian work ethic resonates with your advice so well, because it feels like you’re sharing information that is obvious in some cultures but missing in America - and you’re highlighting those gaps for people really well. Cheers ~

Yes I absolutely do remember the moment that I decided to start my company and how I felt. And today I am FREAKING OBSESSED with my company. My first product goes into testing very soon!!! And when I tell people about it - lately they say, kind of stunned, "you're gonna be rich".

This one principle can change your whole life if you'd listen & implement it Right Now!!!

Patrick looks like those smart ass uncle who knows everything, and what's truly amazing is that he does actually know his stuff. That's what I like about him.

When I first decided to be an entrepreneur? That is right now. The 1st thought was a few months ago. I still don't know how to duo things but I'm trying to learn everything and anything I can. This is why I'm here.

I was having an unproductive Sunday, just finished this video and I'm now up getting ready to go on a run and setting my alarm clock to wake up early and have tomorrow be a busy productive day. Thank you Patrick.

I don't know why I lost my drive to work harder like this complete week, Now I just got it. I am never going to allow my energy level to go down. It's my luck I found this video today. Thanks for the video.

This so true. I lost my energy in my 20th .(Nearly 10 years)I couldn't do anything good meaningful make profit in my career job (I was in acting carer I wanted to become a actress but I only wanted money and I hate those acting environment and people , that was a bad decision ) business. and people around me can smell it. I know they know I am weak. so they start treat you badly. and laugh at you, disrespect you. and bad things starts to happen. I got my energy level back to normal level these past 3 years. hope I will forever keep my energy level high and meaningful in life till I die.

Man! Every time I feel a little down, or demotivated because of something not working right, all I have to do is visit your channel. There's always something to learn from You and get motivated! Thank You very much for these videos! Liked and Shared!

Wow i went through this during my college years! I was burned out 20-22 my energy was stagnant. Now at 23 im learning why and how it happened to me and working on fixing the problems. Thank you boss!

PBD, amazing content. This one really hit home at the HEART! I lost my mom in 2014 and many years before that I had declared I wanted to build something so she would be my executive admin assistant and could watch we only son kill it in business. Well I never built anything big enough and then before her passing in 2009 I went corporate. She only got to see me make 6 figures at a Corp Job and have an office were I was the Boss. What KILLS ME to this day is that I surrendered my dream to be in business with my Mom at my side and now she's dead. I'm back on my own after getting laid off in early April 2017 and this video just kicked me in the ass and made me drum up those feelings. THANK YOU! I'm waking up tomorrow Monday morning with a FIRE again in my eyes to set out to be what is promised my Mom I would but now it will be for the freedom of my kids and wife! PBD not sure why you ever left WFG as I'm just back 9 months but I am a HUGE FAN. WFG messed up somehow losing you. God Speed and I'll look one day to break bread as a fellow entrepreneur!

I wish I had a more eloquent way to communicate this. I absolutely love this shit! “Don’t let anyone tell you this is a natural part of aging. Bullshit. Who said that? I want to meet the person who said that”! David has the passion and energy as he’s talking about having passion and energy. Pure gold. Play it on loop.

Hey Patrick, I'm getting addicted on your videos. I'm always learning something new about business and entrepreneurship on your channel. I've already bought your book "Doing the Impossible", it's a great book, helps a lot to improve myself. The book and the videos are coming on a very nice time on my life. I'm going through changes on my life and job. My daughter just born and I'm about to start my business. I'd like to say Thank you very much. I'm looking forward to hearing from your new project.

Hey Pat. I would just like to thank you so much for all the effort you pump into these videos, the lessons you carry over and the energy you invest into every subscriber! You are one of the reasons I feel increased momentum in my career and life. You deserve every bit of success coming your way. Great Job!

WOW, after watching this video I feel like we just had a one on one session. This was exactly what I needed to hear, time to implement and get my energy back. Thank you PBD

This man pumps fire through my veins! No workout vid has ever motivated me like PBD, beast-mode activated!

Wow, I'm watching this guy talk about wanting 100k subs in this video. Now he's got 2 million. He never lost his edge. Thank you Mr. Bet-David for your energy and wisdom.

Long life to your dad, i felt your sadness and relief, will pray to God for your dad. Never lose "the eye of a tiger". Pushup squats and abs thank you i lost my energy today will never again, thank you.

You can take the worst hits and still get back up, but what will absolutely destroy you is your energy and how quick you can create. If you let up expect to get beaten by your competitors, because they have no mercy. If you standards begin to fall with your energy you can't expect as much from your people. If you can light a fire in yourself you need to evaluate your life both physically and mentally.

man thanks, I am an entrepreneur from india, you just saved me from killing myself, now I know where things went wrong with my business, thanks man,you are my biggest teacher, and you gave me a lifeline today, I owe you my life

I know this is old but I am happy your dad had a great surgery. He seems to be such a big inspiration for you. Thank you for this video!

i cannot subscribe twice because you deserve it ! You not only tell us things but you show, proove them, too!

When you said Il Fornaio I remember it was one of my Saba's favorite restaurants. I used to take him on dates with my savta for events like birthdays and anniversaries. It was that time when I was their caregiver I was blessed with their energy to hive me my edge. -Nano Flow Irrigation

The best video to watch in the beginning of 2017!

Every time i feel myself slipping away from my formula i always go back to your videos. When i am really going through it, I go to the gym and replay this specific video all night. I know its not a good look when someone is back sliding, but i have to be honest. I use to fall down and use to stay down. But after watching your videos i have learned to not dwell on losses, and to get back up as fast as i can. Get back up with a bigger plan, bigger dream, with bigger commitment. Thank you Mr.Bet-David and the rest of the VALUETAINMENT Team, You guys mean a lot to many of us. Best wishes with everyone here chasing a dream. Stay #Relentless

got way to many ideas for myself never stop shareing them with others who i know if i cant make them work they can use my ideas for themselves. Thanks to Pat there is a man in this world to make another person so fired up about everything in there lives. just by hearing u i sometimes cant stop smiling sometimes cant stop lauthing and sometimes ceying in a good way of cooyrse. so Pat thank you for that energy and joy to transmit to others.

Hi PBD, Your absolutely right. With a good diet and exercise can really increase your focus and energy. You feel good internally and it shows externally. People can see it. You just feel like you can tackle almost any obstacle. You feel focused over all and determined.

Amazing, you hit the nail on the head. I knew it but been procrastinating to build mu energy my edge back. Right now I am leaving and going to the gym, and will do everything day after day and won't stop until the fire in the gut returns and I start dominating my space. Only another true entrepreneur understands another Alpha. The pain, the losses the successes. And what the hell goes on in the head. Thanks Pat right time right video

Energy IS key! Surround yourself with those who have energy and fire in their gut. It's contagious. Conversely, remove those who sap your energy so you can move forward, onward and upward.

You are just Awesome Patrick. It can be just about money it has to be about the satisfaction you give to yourself, for being a relentless player in the game. Money doesn’t move us the drill does.

This one video, this one idea pops up at an eerily convenient time. Thanks dude, you'll probably never know how your concepts help in my world, but they may have just turned me (and a lot of others) away from a losing path.

I never can sleep because of all my ideas

Just got back from my work out! im sweating so much and I cant even feels my legs!!!! Your story brought tears to my eyes! then i got so high off this video. The adrenaline pumped me so much it was the highest i have been for 4 years. I went out and for the first time in 4 years actually started to exercise again and cried like a maniac. I cried tears of Joy! and im still crying right now as i write this lol :D You made my day Patrick!!!!!!

your channel by far is the best motivational channel

Thank you pat, this vid has single handedly changed my life... thank you and watch me grow

I will do pushups now, then straight away study until I finish everything I have to finish today and I won't stop like everyday, I'll change today, I'll stop procrastinating today, thanks for this video.

Wow Patrick am fired up again, I always feel lethargic as you have rightly said and just want to stop. I also try to do some push ups and sit ups but after some days i feel terrible so i always stop and then start again but after watching this video am never going to stop again. I want to make my daughters proud of me.

Hi, Pat, I was really amazed when I watched your this video. I had lost my edge for the last 3 years. But lately, I have been watching your videos.I found the test of happy life again. Always wishing you best of both worlds.

Thank you for this video. I live in the uk and I am 18, own a company and losing my edge. It's time for me to re-engage in business and my personal life, stop eating and drinking crap and get back to my former self. Again thank you

i compete with no one but myself. I have never competed with anyone else. So you are telling me I should give up because, I was hit by a drunk driver and got whiplash of the whole spine. To bad I never give up. I will just keep teaching and pushing around 20 year old kids, masters, and grand-masters.

Pat may God bless you and your family for all your helps

eye opening video, I have been fatigued for many months now and this video made me realize I had lost my edge

Patrick, man i really appreciate your passion for entrepreneurship. This video and one I listened to before, about Why Entrepreneurs Fail. I swear they were meant to be at this time I listened to them. You give me the knowledge I needed at the time I’m in in my life. I just want to thank you! It’s a blessing, what you do. Hopefully in some way that I get to shake your hand but if not just no I appreciate all that you. Thanks Patrick!

This really spoke to me. Thank you Bet-David.

I come back to this video whenever I need some energy

This is resonating with me. Something is wrong here, and I can’t quite figure out what it is. I don’t quit, I don’t burn out, and I have always felt that I can outwork anyone. My business grows at least 100% per year. But for the past few months, I’m exhausted all the time. I live like a monk: Clean diet, no excessive alcohol, and daily exercise. But I feel like I’m struggling to put one foot in front of the other these days.

Watching this is 2024 , every point still LEGIT!!!

Yes, sir! Start moving your body and get that edge!

Haha after tossing and turning the whole night thinking about BPA barely sleeping, I just watched this sick sitting ona toilet because i tried to eat for once and ate tacobell last night at 1, after leaving the office and working till 2-5am everyday for 2 weeks barely eating. Need to change my lifestyle, and take care of my body. Needed a reminder, thanks Pat.

This topic is MAJOR KEY!! Apperciate you taking the time out of your life to better those of this world around us Patrick. Love ya, and the incredible energy you're projecting.

HIking in nature gives me energy. The wilder the better.

If it was truly about just money , then once their business fails , they wouldn't restart but rather look for other less challenging ways to make money

Dude you're Seriously Amazing. I haven't lost my edge because i haven't hit any big milestones but i'm definitely on my way and seeing this video was a HUGE eye opener. Now i can keep my edge and have it as an advantage. Keep up the fantastic work Patrick You're a huge motivator and an inspiration, Hope to meet you some day man!

Thank you pat. I dont comment alot. But best believe I am watching all your videos since October late of last year and I am experiencing nothing but exponential growth. The reason I dont comment is because I watch at least 4 to 6 of your videos per day and I watch going to sleep. When am showering when I am eating and when I am driving. So there is no time to comment. But know that I gain 1500% increase in my business in January 2020 and almost 450% since February 2020... I cant wait to meet you ... I will be flying up just to meet you and take you to lunch after the Corona virus passes off. :) Maybe your assistant can arrange a meeting. For me and you

i´ve felt bad for some time. The old me who was so competetive have been gone for 3-4 weeks. i really felt like shit and school ending soon and i´ve procrastinated alot of home work and didn´t find my spark that always have fired me up. The last week i´ve reviewed my self alot and found these majory fault growing bigger and bigger. I even searched" how to get work ethic" didn´t help. Sitting in school and i´ve been sad alot but i saw this video and was done with the work. It was like a blessing and i felt guilty like im thrashing my future as a business man. But i also made some great impact. You said run so i walked out of clasroom queietly but with fire inide of me. On the way out my inner palms started to hurt and i saw my self pushing my nails in too the flesh by the anger i felt. I first started walking because i saw friends and thought it was ebarassing the my mind said fuck them so i ran like hell. I ran 4 blocks without thinking it was hard . i found a bench started review my self deep. About my family . my clasmates laughing about my investor dreams. I saw my dead father who passed a year ago and muy laughing mom wgo was depressed. My sister trying to bring me back to earth and laughing and angry relatives. Then i moved on to daily habits. It only poped up social media. I saw a video with robert kiyosaki talking about 4 types of persons. I´ve alway had win deep rothed. Also right but i have abondoned it. The catagory i placed my self was shamefull. "comfortable" i started thnking " you have 2 choices " 1 Be comfotable the problems will work out it self Or 2 Fuck social media comfortable things. I want structure books and win. I chose number 2 from today i limit my self from social media to 1 hour. I want you guys at valutainment to know that your like my second family who keeps me in order i have to finsih now because im going to right my dream onto a paper and commit to it. PS: you have made a major impact on a lost 17 year old from sweden and keep on doing what you do and remeber that your´re the best. / ibrahim. Also wining is fatastic!!!! DS

Watching your Video is like reading a book! Just exceptional.

Thanks Pat this video got me pumped! I did a few push ups right after I watched this haha. Your point about having the edge really opened my eyes. 2 years ago I was in start up mode running my own business. I had the edge and the fire inside. I got a very small success and I knew I hadn't made it. I was still hungry for more and wanted to push it even higher. Around the same time I met a girl and fell in love. The moment I fell in love I lost my edge. I became really soft and I spent all my time and energy on her. Losing my edge killed me. I had to get a job because I couldn't take the hits. Don't get me wrong, I love this girl and we're still together. Now I'm finally getting my edge back. I'm preparing for battle and I'm in major training mode right now. I'm determined to make my come back and come in stronger than ever.

I've lost my edge over this past year. i started the process of becoming an entrepreneur around march last year, the loans company kept messing me around. several times they came back to me and told me to lower my expectations/ambitions and i kept having to revise my business plan to make it what they think it should be. and i had to wait months between each time i sent off that new business plan to hear something back. it's now 10 months later and i'm still waiting to hear back from them. the whole experience has been one of the most demotivating experiences of my life, and it's killed my confidence with people, and whether i think my business idea will be a success because they forced me to be so negative about its potential. maybe they were right to, but it's still hard to maintain an edge when you're forced to aim so low with such little ambition and to believe it has such little potential... but you know something? it's still something i want to do more than anything else in the world right now.

I paused this video at 18:58 at made 10 pull ups. threw 3-4 bare hand hard punches on concrete wall and did 3-4 more pulls ups. back to video. writing this. and not going to watch last minute of this vid and heading to my plans. thank you! enough motivation at least for now.

My gosh!!! I’m so fired up by this! Let’s go!
