Sara Blakley found her blue ocean and become a billionaire in about 10 years, did not use investors. Her company is still private. It would be awesome to see u interview her.
@@RichHxmie of course and the story given, just gives you the mindset of actually building a system for running your business effectively, instead of chasing the "multiple revenues myth" from one business.
@@randiaz95 I meant it in general. That’s kind of like saying that there are 5 guys and 1 body armor and I say, the safest one is the one with the body armor. It’s true for everybody but, not everybody gets the body armor. Get it?
Not true, according to statistics small and medium businesses dont survive long-term. Nature of businesses is there are always loozers and winners. A small or medium business is just fine as a side hustle, its better to have a safe job plan long-term than ignore facts of statistics. People that have the most wealth today are more likely to take over most markets because they have so much money to have the ability to do so.
As of 2022, the average daily social media usage of internet users worldwide amounted to 147 minutes per day. Imagine how differently our lives would be if we used that 147 minutes consuming information like this instead of scrolling through Facebook and Twitter.
Read built to sell, recommend by Alex Harmozi. It stung. I thought I was further along. I automated my systems and reduced the work load but still a 1 man crew. This man gave me a new perspective. Will probably read all his other books too, when all current info is implanted. Great podcast!!
I love how Pat, as great as he is, still always pays attention to the interviewee and takes notes on certain points rather than just waiting to butt in like some interviewers do.
Pat, thank you so much for having these interviews that have inmense amounts of value for all of us. As a Latin American I think that there is also a good amount of spanish speaking people that do not understand english very well and that would love to have access to this knowledge (via spanish subtitles in your videos). That could help entrepreneurs in this region that are looking for world class mentors and would give them the tools to accelerate the development of our economies. I hope this suggestion may be considered by you and your team. Thank you again and keep killing it!
@@businessacount9891 no hablan de ese canal en este ni en el podcast (o al menos no lo suficiente). Yo sigo Valuetainment hace un par de años y es primera vez que escucho de Valuetainment en español.

I’ll never understand the appeal of that guy. His hatred towards everything we stand for is written all over his face. George Gammon also have his a friendly interview. I don’t get it at all.
He was delusional, I’ve spoken to people in Russia first hand, whose families suffered and starved under the evils of the Stalin regime. People need to educate themselves on the objective reality instead of living in their bubbles..
So good to hear from alive, energetic Entrepreneurs. Brooklynne is so adorable. Her eyes are locked on to her Papa's. God bless you, Pat, and your beautiful family.
28:50 The difference between normal entrepreneurs and Bezos is vision. It's freedom most people desire, where Bezos and Musk have visions so far beyond themselves that it's in their best interest to stay with the company.
Yh you're right there are a minute few who want to be exceptional in new endeavors and aren't looking for money or just freedom, the gates, Musks, etc. But they are unique as they start from a pretty good beginning, they have options and financial needs isn't their motivation. Musk was already in a PHD program, Gates came from a wealthy family and was at Harvard, Bezos worked in Wall Street etc.
its 2023, I am age 20 watching this while sending messages to prospects, I worry too much but I have been consuming such content since I have old enough to read. My trajectory is solidified God willing
recently sold ...it was a quick sale, im wondering after listening to this if I did the right thing or if I should have talked it over with John first, i had some pretty unique markets,and was disrupting my competitors who ended up buying my out bcs they knew in a few years id become a pain in the ass.better niche product,and was growing fast.w excellent branding.others tried to duplicate my success but didnt put in the work necessary,or understand all the moves i was making that was going to revolutionize the industry.
Master of educational, comprehensive interviews and profound insights. Your style of mentorship is second to none. Always a valuable and entertaining investment of time. Thank you.🙏
I watch quite a bit of Valuetainment and that sometimes takes away from my reading time and/or time I could be spending working on my business. Episodes like this make the ones that aren't worth too much to me personally even though they're good to hear worth it because you often stumble upon gold. Thank you Pat
Love the information from both of you guys! Me and my wife own a wedding, fashion, commercial, photography company for some time now and till this Day, we get stuck on what to do when it come to generating clients. Lord please help us.
This is by far the most valuable video that I've watched. I plan on starting a business. And this is exactly what I needed to hear to help me strategize
If you go to 36 minutes - what you're hearing is a financial bubble in the process. And this process is driving private equity deals... this is a great interview - great channel... PBD rocks...
This is everything that got me watching the channel. Great information and my next port of call is Amazon to buy the book. Keep away from the politics and the boo-hoo he lost stolen election conspiracy bs and the channel is both a valuable use of my time and entertainment.
I am in the carwash/pressure washing business,,, and I will say that Patrick is correct,,, with carwashes,, selling memberships is were the money is! You get paid regardless if the customer uses your service or not! You get paid,, monthly,,, regardless. Brilliant!
Funny, here I am listening to this interview and I did the cross selling services when I 1st retired at 30 and it worked out well. Now im building my new business project with the complete vertical integration aspect built in that would be an easy turn key or addition to a bigger company to acquire and lower their cogs along the way. Pretty cool and great feeling when one does freely what others charge how to "learn to do" these steps.
I’m a “Goat” Multiple facets here…I’m an Anarcho-Capitalist. I have put most of my money…meaning 90% of the money I have made doing what I have been doing for 10 years, back into my business.
Great talk, makes you wonder, mountain climber, freedom fighter or craft? Why selling? Cause there's time and place and 💰 and development for every stage of the business.
Just starting a discussion, say you got your business to the point where it's a valuable business that you could sell at 10x rev, and now you have the opportunity to go public. Would you sell your business and give up ownership, or would you go public, retain some ownership and sell part of your shares at a later date? If you would do something different, I'd want to hear that too.
What do you need to focus on to get a great multiple? Surely it's more than avoiding cross-selling your customer base - which can't always be bad to do.
I think you can do both, the issue is keeping it a strong fit. Tesla has its own insurance company and it’s perfect fit. However a wedding planer decides to start a catering business because it could work together will lead down horrible path. Just my thought. Some businesses need multiple sources of revenue.
Patrick the way I look at things is this mate, it’s better to go through life, with nothing and to know nothing, that way nobody can take anything, and hopefully nobody will want to hurt you or silence you, just look what they did to John McAfee Patrick, don’t get me wrong mate, we all need something, but as long as I have food in my stomach and a roof over my head mate, for me Patrick, I’m contented with life. The more people have, the more they want.
God bless you guys! He loves you so much that He even sent His son to die on the cross for you and your sins! Jesus loves you so much that He even gave His life to set you free and give you a second chance! He even gave you the choice to follow Him or not! Please make the choice and follow Him before it’s too late! There are gonna be no excuses on judgement day! He can return right now! Start reading the Bible and getting into the word of God! The more you spend time in God’s word, the more His identity becomes your identity! God‘s word over this world! Jesus, we need you, we can’t do this alone! Start spreading the word of God to reach more lost soles! God didn’t say that we wouldn’t have any storms, but He did say that He would stay with us when they occur! I have a big God that can do big miracles and you can too if you just make the choice and follow Him! God has a plan for every single one of you so trust Him and everything will work out! Continue steadfastly in prayer, being in it with thanksgiving! Thank you, God bless you!

Sara is actively trying to sell her company!
Really?? Interesting.
Great suggestion
@@yaniktube she was already in business for herself before she met her husband

"Built to Sell" is One of the best Real business books.
have you read it?
@@RichHxmie of course and the story given, just gives you the mindset of actually building a system for running your business effectively, instead of chasing the "multiple revenues myth" from one business.
Agree!
What other books do you recommend on real biz?
A simple but BIG thank you Patrick for all the incredible work you do for others!
I would love to see a guy or girl who really understands patents come onto the show.
The most safety you can experience is not a “safe” job, it’s controlling your own income and destiny.
This is not true for most people as not everyone has the work ethic required and self motivation.
@@randiaz95 I meant it in general. That’s kind of like saying that there are 5 guys and 1 body armor and I say, the safest one is the one with the body armor. It’s true for everybody but, not everybody gets the body armor. Get it?
@@randiaz95 following that logic, most people won't have "safety" then. Doesn't bother me to be honest. I love seeing people hustle and succeed.

@@randiaz95 its actually true for everyone, but to your point. Most people don't recognize it and stay trapped under an illusion of safety.
Patrick, you are truly an inspiration. Mad Respect on you, Sir.

This is better than the Communist Interview
I’ll never understand the appeal of that guy. His hatred towards everything we stand for is written all over his face. George Gammon also have his a friendly interview. I don’t get it at all.
More business value less rhetoric value
I was brain dead listening to that nonsense.
He contradicted himself a lot.
He was delusional, I’ve spoken to people in Russia first hand, whose families suffered and starved under the evils of the Stalin regime. People need to educate themselves on the objective reality instead of living in their bubbles..
30:35 three profiles of entrepreneurs
1. Mountain climbers
2. Freedom fighters
3. Crafts people
It’s helpful to know which you are!!
We all can agree that Pat asks the interviewers the best questions!
The hardest thing for a lot of people is finding what they’re really good at finding their “niche”
So good to hear from alive, energetic Entrepreneurs. Brooklynne is so adorable. Her eyes are locked on to her Papa's. God bless you, Pat, and your beautiful family.

Amazing interview and guest. Thank you for sharing Patrick!!
I don't comment often, but I had to for this. An amazing interview. Hats off to the both of you.
Oh wow. I'm currently reading his book the Automatic Customer. Wow. I need to finish the book.
Great talk, makes you wonder, mountain climber, freedom fighter or craft? Why selling? Cause there's time and place and 💰 and development for every stage of the business.
"ive found its usually best to sell and move on. becayse FREEDOM is the goal"
Just Started this Audiobook "Built to Sell" today.
Thanks to whole team Valuetainment. Good job. Keep it Up. Guys you are killing it. 👍
Finally i had a glimpse of my dream life 😀
Ahh finally, more entrepreneurship videos plz

Just went and bought 2 of his books-thanks Great guest
What do you need to focus on to get a great multiple? Surely it's more than avoiding cross-selling your customer base - which can't always be bad to do.
Great interview. Learned A LOT. I heard about the book and now it's time to read it.
Thank you!
I'm early in my business, but I identify with all three types of entrepreneurs
Amazing this helped me understand what I did right and wrong in my last business. Ordered the book is on the way. Cant wait to read it.
Hes a Great interactive interview, the two of you vibe WHOLELISTICALLY LOL
Could you do both?
Cross sell, and look for new customers at the same time?
I think you can do both, the issue is keeping it a strong fit. Tesla has its own insurance company and it’s perfect fit. However a wedding planer decides to start a catering business because it could work together will lead down horrible path. Just my thought. Some businesses need multiple sources of revenue.
Looove the interview! Pleaase Pat moore of this type of interviews!
1 of the best, i've seen on this stream...pure.
Loved that you did this interview. One of my favorite books 👍👌
I just finished the book after you david recommend it,, GOOD TIMING
Great interview, I am a freedom fighter thinking I wanted to be a mountain climber. Great perspective
Patrick you've done it again! Fantastic content and knowledge given here, thank you so much!
Share the vision as well as your passion for what you do.
All value
This is the shit everyone need to hear.. very Informative and inspirational!.. well done Valuetainment!
You should understand the business is fear not killing other's business for the personal interest alone
Is it ever too early too sell too a strategic investor ? Startup, early revenue, seven and 8 figures timing?
Please make video on business automation
Very much enjoyed this video especially the car wash part. Because I’m leaving the Convenience store business for the car wash business.
John has a very good book, on this topic, totally recommended!
start up + value+ ipo +sell= Financial Freedom
He’s spot on when saying that you throttle back growth to keep 100 percent ownership, just bought his books.
Im doing this right now. My business is growing so rapidly, im not sure what the right answer is.
@@RDA8191 slow and steady wins the race
Thank you, Patrick and John!
This gave me so Much, Thanks PBD and John
Patrick, could you talk about building a life insurance agency that is designed to sell for the max dollar?
Patrick the way I look at things is this mate, it’s better to go through life, with nothing and to know nothing, that way nobody can take anything, and hopefully nobody will want to hurt you or silence you, just look what they did to John McAfee Patrick, don’t get me wrong mate, we all need something, but as long as I have food in my stomach and a roof over my head mate, for me Patrick, I’m contented with life. The more people have, the more they want.
Fantastic interview Pat. Thoroughly enjoyed it and validated some of the decisions in my business journey.
I am long term.
More long term than most.
