Hasnain Abbas Dilawar it's all about priorities and what people want out of life. People don't realize how valuable this information is. Like they are people that pay hundreds of dollars to go to entrepreneur events and listen to the same type speeches. Same with online webinars.

I subscribed to your website because I get asked questions on how to do certain things so I do a lot of research and I came across your videos. I shared a few of them on Facebook letting people know if they need and type in your information they may want to check out valuetainment with Patrick. I am new to the technology. I spent most of my time searching on how to invest in real estate and by real estate I thought about being a real estate agent but did not have the money for that neither so I kept researching I'm glad to tell you that 2014 I purchase my first home as a single mom with one job because I was able to do it when the market drop.
Very educative eye opener. The humility of admitting you're not as good as you think you are and staying in learning mode is priceless. Thanks Pat for always giving value.
My grandfather dropped out of school in the Netherlands in 6th grade. At age 19, he hopped on a boat to America, joined the US army, and got his American citizenship while building a new life for himself. He never thought of himself as smart, but I'll be the first to tell you how well he could read people, work hard, and be creative. Fast forward a few decades. His love for Holland inspired him to bring Friesian horses to North America, which turned into an incredible business. Twenty years ago, he turned down a half million dollar offer to sell one of his horses. And that was just one. ;) I love how this video reinforced everything I knew in my heart to be true, yet would never be taught in school. Thank you.
One of my strongest values is the willingness to get your hands dirty, which, I think goes along with having a beginner mentality. I love both of those concepts!
Man, thanks a lot for the lecture.. I'm 24 just promoted as a CEO for this small company. I started here in this company as a writer, now I can do a lot of things and I'm the CEO of the company in just 5 months. And your vids are just inspiring, thanks for everything, Man!
As a smart, yet humble guy myself, this was a big wake-up call and a source of assurance for me. Thank you so much Patrick for making this video. I don't know where I'd be without watching this.
Very true. Though the number of smart people who have failed to succeed in business is greater than the number of people who are smart and succeeded - that's the point.
My god thank you, I like this guy, but by attributing all these negative attributes to so called “smart” people, boy does he show his lack of education.

Hello mr Patrick and the Valuetainment crew, I am a 14yr old future entrepreneur. One day i was sitting in my room and thought to myself 'I want to punch my own clock on my OWN time and be my own boss' and thats when i came to the conclusion this was the route for me to go. Some Of the things in the video really Made Me re-evaluate Myself and I'd Like to thank you very much, Because not many people will take the time to guide others And Demonstrate how they got their success. Next year i will be taking Entrepreneurship and Buisness Communication Classes Thanx alot.!
It's great you recognize these things at your age! Most people have 3 or 4 jobs they hate and then realize they want to punch their own clock. You have a great mindset and with hard work and the right preparation your possibilities are limitless!!
I'm going through week of entrepreneural depression even after being in business for 12yrs and your content is like an effective medicine, a lot of videos now doesn't make sense and luckily for me, whatever you say always nailed it every time ,thanks God, may He keep you &your family healthy always
My grandfather always said give a doctor (smart person) a screwdriver ,he doesn't know what you all can do with it! Because they to much in the books or they already know what to know my lesson was... A person can be smart in some fields but not in all! Be humble to all and don't forget Earth -strongest object in our world Love your energie! Getting fired up in telling a story. Showing your real honest feeling is rare to see on RUclips. Keep on going!
So what you are talking about is not smart; it is ego. A lot of smart people do not understand that people operate under a different logic from the rest of the world. Smart people like change.
lol, only care to serve humanity. You must be deluded. The only reason this channel exists is because every one of us wants to be rich. If creating a successful business meant you'd make less money than the average US salary, very few would bother.
Julian Reid not necessarily. I think there's a lot more to do with overthinking. Not executing because they're scared, not because they think they don't have to.
Attitude is the best gratitude. You have no idea how much your life changes surrounding yourself who not only lead by example but also help others succeed.
Zach Noegel I’m sorry to ask this, are we supposed to have emotions in decision making or not? I’m truly a bit confused. The smartest guy left, best resume left too. There’s another guy that left the room too and those that remained own the company. Did the remaining people use both logic and emotions? Please help. Thanks 😊
@@kossieseii85 He means having passion for what you do emotion driven getting fired up and back on track the logical guy perhaps only looked at it from a numbers standpoint
I think this video addresses arrogant and ignorant people, rather than smart people. Truly smart people are very aware of how much they know and how much they don't know, and are not afraid to admit that the latter is usually greater.
first, I now know without any doubt that I am smart. second, This smartness will take me now where. Third, I am not arrogant because I am learning. Thank you for sharing this awesome awesome stuff. I live to improve.
HE IS SO RIGHT ON REGARDING THIS SUBJECT. IT TOOK ME A WHILE WHEN I FIRST STARTED WATCHING PAT TO EVEN FIND OUT HIS NAME. HE NEVER, NEVER BROADCASTED HIS NAME.... HE WANTS TO LEARN...TEACH...ETC... HIS INTERVIEWS ARE AMONG THE BEST ON RUclips.
This is one of the videos we need to watch when we feel like we are going through the motions too. Definitely a wake up call. Great video Patrick. Thank you.Looking forward to the next one.
Pat you so right, to add to your presentation: I met people who became superstars in their field on a single idea and rode that for a decade only to become ego driven on that, a one shot wonder and got outdated but refuse to adapt and could not understand why their world was falling apart. I learned early in the Army to innovate, adapt, adjust and adapt which stills serves me today 5 decades later. Sometimes success come in small increments by adjusting and adaption and most of all humility, not ego.
This is for those who don't understand the title of this video or even its content: What he meant to say is that so often those arrogant "smart" type of people fail in business, not those smart and hard working ones. We're all equal, there's no man or woman who is smarter or better than all the others, it just depends on the hard work you put into your dream. At least this is my opinion. Love from Romania Pat. Keep hustling.
Pride factor is so true in business. We really don't know everything but we feel that we are entitled to respect due to what we have rather than look at what we don't have and improve on it. It is also the reason why underdog wins happen. "Do you see a person wise in their own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for them." -Proverbs 26:12
Life changing, I spent/wasted 15 years working smart, made me look cunning, manipulative in pursuit of working smart, working smart is an illusion, it earned me nothing, I will try working hard now and am sure it always works 😊
A lot of smart people are smart in their own area of expertise. Like smart people tend to follow careers that are mathematically and scientifically based. Like engineering, programming, Chemistry, and etc. But thats almost about it. They let their egos hinder them in growing and constantly developing as a person. Plus what I also learned about smart people is they tend to live in their own bubble like they think they are wasting their time if they don't associate with people that think of things the way they do. They tend to reject change and they like doing things their way even though it may be flawed. Like one smart person that became rich was Elon Musk. However he did not graduate from college, he was broke in the beginning, he learned to adapt to changes, and he risked majority of his money in creating all of his businesses. He was failing before he even made marginal profits.
Watching this 6 years later, and having been a Valuetainment follower for the last few years, is just prophetic. Practice, then preach. Keep up the great work guys!
Hi pat im 14 years old and a huge thank you for making these videos, they really help me understand different aspects of business and inspire me to be a young entrepreneur. I really wish the education system would teach things like this because it is so much more useful in later life than some of the things they teach at the moment.#squad
This is my bible. I come from being the number 1 student in my class 6 years in a row. I sometimes let it go to my head. This video always brings me down to earth. Let’s have fun!
Omg I watch your show a lot. I love how you know that it's important to not talked credit for someone else's idea. That's how my brother and I grew up... Giving credit where it's needed. Even if someone doesn't ask us where the thought or effort came from ..... Especially when they gave the credit to to the wrong person.... We stop that person and say " no, it not me. It's was .... Who came up with the idea"
Anthony Bourdain said a really important thing about always considering yourself the least intelligent/knowledgeable person in the room. He was very right about that. Most bosses are shitty leaders and crash businesses because they don't take blame and only credit. Worked with a lot of them. Hard work vs smart work: only when you work hard can you find out spots to improve and work smarter. You will never be able to make work smarter unless you are willing to work. Starting with the thought of smart work means you want to avoid work, live from efforts of others and never know about your full abilities.
As a prior business owner it's important to have the support of those around you - I had a 5 Star business that failed - My fault for growing too fast Family (had the money to support me) refuse to invest in my business - Landlord changed management (earlier management worked with me) that was hostile to my business and refuse to make any deal to keep my business going - Even tried to partner with another larger business - This was really hard since I was use to being successful by making deals that lead to successful outcomes in a previous business adventure (sold a profitable business I started) and as a Government Program Manager. In short - many successful people fail a few times before becoming successful - Learn from your mistakes and keep moving forward. I plan to start a new business and will apply what I have learned - My goal is not to get rich - My goal is to provide my customers with a great product that they will love and tell others about.
My brother in law, has this scenario when a fight is eminent. He ask his opponent: do you want to win or loose? Answer is: I want to win!!! So my brother in law by the way called A-iwan respond, ok you win and shake hand.... Fight over!!!!!0
It seems like alot of success in Business is about the mentality and just doing it! it is much harder to do nothing than at doing something in life because it leads you to wrong paths in life homeless, depression and more..
Absolutely golden. And you were talking about how great it was going to be to get to 250K subs, now you are at 1.3 mil +. Way to go Pat, you da man, thanks for sharing 💪🏼⚡️💥👍🏼
Humble is the wrong word, imo. I'd say, round every corner like it's potentially your last. Always look for your weak points, even if you're pretty sure there aren't any. Be a little paranoid. Be on edge. Be ready for the 180 I.Q. monster to come in and start fucking your shit up. It's not humility. It's knowledge that you can be taken down in a very quick hurry. The sweet spot between confidence and caution is the key to success.
People with high educations should take notes. I have met/known so many of them and they all have these very similar issues. Those of us who have lower educations are more successful at business than them, and they dont understand why. Usually say we are just lucky.
I'm a high school drop out, 31 yrs old, and used to be a risk-taker, and careless prior to 25. The more I learn, the wiser I get, the less risk I want to take, I doubt myself more, and I care less about things but still want the lifestyle I've been seeking. There are days I want to thrive and reach the highest high of success, and other days I contemplate self-deletion without really wanting to do so. Just tired of my current lifestyle but my fears and doubts take over causing me laziness and not giving a fck about doing anything. Its been wavy, ups and downs, day after day, week after week.
Here are few of my points: 1. Work hard - only the staff you created can be your most loyal witnesses. 2. Stay humble - you are not as smart as you think, there always someone that is: - bigger master then you - working harder then you - find out a point you missed 3. Do not think you'r safe - always be alert and try to be as updated as possible. 4. Do not be afraid to ask questions - this will help you understand and help everybody around you find out any issues that probably standby under the surface. 5. Do not be afraid to teach - this will mark you as the export and will help you clear any "under the surface issues". 6. be around people that better then you - this will help you improve, keep you alert, save you from laziness and most impotent; give you hope and something to aspire to. 7. Keep your target in front your eyes and your mind clear from unrelated noise. Hop it help and encourage someone here and I would like to thank Valuetainment for inspiering this comment :-) Efi
I think I understand why people with a lot of degrees would have the tendency have a more "me mentality". Before I was more open to others, caring about what others wanted more. Now I study civil engineering. This forced me to be very selfish to do study for my own. So much information that there was really less time for anything else. The second thing is that every " has" to be accurate. All the calculations have to be by the specific rules. Because people before have already analysed the subjects over years and put all that information on paper. Over a time it would have an effect that stays when used to that habit more.
We are not smart people or we wouldn't do PhDs with head damages. Hi, Pat, I think this lecture will be shared among our families from 9 yr old to 42 years old, from elementary students to Ph.Ds. It teaches us how to become a better person. Thank you very much! Yi
24:04 It's like saying you've mastered something already and that your "cup" is full. It's the same as saying "I can't learn anymore because my cup is full, anything poured will just come back out".
Thank you Pat, I am starting back at the bottom, thought I was smart, not a great resume, and I knew that didn't matter. Changed focus after losing my job of 15 years. I AM hungrier than ever and I am going to make bro. Thanks for your channel. See you at the top!!!
16:42 "... wait til we get to a millions subs..." I am watching this in February 10th, 2020 and there are currently 1.92 mio subs. Waiting finished. ;)
Hardwork, do the dirty work. Starting a new company and needed a reminder go get my hands dirty. Thank you so much for sharing your insight of the business World.
While it is generally accepted there are several "intelligences"; going forward, I will be focusing solely on IQ. Typically, when people refer to "smart" people they are referring to either education or IQ. The two are too often conflated. Anyone of normal intelligence can be educated. I prefer to use the standard use term because it is appropriate. (You're right, I am fond of rules.) In fact, it is the concept that any person of normal intelligence can be educated which is at the heart of my quibble with your video's premise. I clicked to hear opinion regarding why and how the smart fail at business only, in fact, to hear why educated and previously successful people fail at business. None of the characteristics you describe are typically associated with "smart" people. Smart people beginning at the second standard deviation right of the normal curve; which is the designation for gifted beginning at a level of 132-135 on the Wechsler intelligence tests for adults and children. This represents approximately 2% of the population and is the minimum requirement for entry into MENSA (an international society of and for the smart). Of those considered gifted (2%) or profoundly gifted (1%), it is typically the case that they underestimate their abilities rather than over estimate them according to studies. Further, many of the traits you recommend are attributed to the highly intelligent: (www.Business insider.com/8-common-traits-of-highly-intelligent-people-2016-7) -highly adaptable -able to admit ignorance -insatiable curiosity -open minded -high self-control -sensitive to other people's experiences -very funny -very individualistic While I have only provided one reference and, admittedly, it is a lay reference; there are many studies readily available through any search engine which confirms this information. So, it would seem someone didn't do their homework which would have prevented the sharing of completely erroneous information which appears to be (and this is just a guess) based on prejudicial beliefs generated by feelings of educational inadequacy. Ordinarily, I would not have responded to such grossly incorrect information being shared by a self-proclaimed subject matter expert but one presumes people come to your channel to be educated and as you pointed out you have a sizable subscription base which is expanding. Let us stop the propagation of this particular brand of both ignorance an anti-intellectualism here. Shall we?
Well is Jan 22nd,2020 and Valuetainment has 1.87M subs (including me) and its very easy to see why.... There are lots of business coaching and motivational videos out there on Utube....but imho this is among the very very best - real, authentic, entertaining, insightful and the experience of a real successful entrepreneur who has been there shines through!
One Reason to sum it up: Overthinking, Risk Aversion. However, Risk Affine Charismatic People that are good in Sales tend to often lose everything because they belittle things like hardcore oldschool accounting, risk management which are absolutely essential in combination with the aforementioned characteristics in order to rise in business.
Exaclty. Patrick displays insecurity about his own intelligence. It was very visible during the interview with Ray Dalio, who is truly smart and intelligent.
My intelligence transcends blind spots. I know how many hairs are currently growing on my arse and I can use my immense brain power to create a magnetic field that will arrange my arse hairs into intricate patterns. This is possible thanks to the iron-enriched cereal that I eat passing through my intestines and sticking to my arse hairs in the form of ferrous dingleberries. That is what I do when I poo, so imagine what I do when it's crunch time, bucko.
Some good advice. But your connection to smart people is completely wrong. A. Dumb people do all those things also. B. There are at least three other back breakers that will kill any business. i.e. accounting/spending, product knowledge, liabilities/insurance etc. … My point? Many business owners, some of which are smart, don't do a single thing on your list and still fail. And let me take this opportunity to point out that if a person is truly smart they know most of these things already, have already learned these lessons from the many life experiences that most of your list is relevant to. People with a degree from a prestigious school do not qualify as smart people based on that fact alone. I'd say anyone that sits down at an interview and says, "You have to give me an executive position because that's what I went to school for.", is obviously a moron. C. There are many successful people, smart and dumb, that are guilty of most, if not all, the things on your list You could make all those points without making it a negative about a group. What if someone posted a video that was titled The Reasons Iranian People Fail in Business and used the exact same reasons you have, only before each point they say that this is a common characteristic of Iranian people's thinking. The answer is obvious, you even say it in the beginning but then switch to smart people. It is not smart people you are talking about it is people who think they are smart but are actually not, and also unintelligent scholastic achievers that think scholastic achievement is the only way to gauge intelligence, and smart people that think being smart counts for something, which again exposes a pretty obvious limit to their intelligence.
I actually feel a little offended the title and thumbnail are misleading. Usually nerds always strive to improve and keep learning. The title should be mr. know it(Usually medicore IQ) all and not smart people( high IQ but can also be mr.know it all). EInstein, Aristotle, Bill Gates, Zucks (high IQ) are all curious people who keep learning.
No one knows Eisenstein's real IQ, its a myth; and i don't believe IQ is a real measure of intelligence, truth is i have no idea what it means to be intelligent, the nerd who works hard is just disciplined and determined, this has nothing to do with being smart in my honest opinion
Agreed. IQ cannot fully portray ones personal intelligence. Maybe book smarts, but really... if you can't think of things yourself and always use what you learn in a book to justify everything you do... you have a longggg way to go in the world before you are truly an intelligent individual. But then again... even intellect is ambigious.
yeah that's more creativity and vision. my creativity comes in sperts and writers block or "thinkers" block can become a hinderance, to where i'll feel not worth a damn, I think the people who are largely successful are very creative.
I definitely will be listening to you daily. I feel like all of your videos are talking to me. I’m understanding myself so much more. I have so much I want to give that I must be successful.

lol, only care to serve humanity. You must be deluded. The only reason this channel exists is because every one of us wants to be rich. If creating a successful business meant you'd make less money than the average US salary, very few would bother.
Dude you didn’t have to destroy them like that..,
Julian Reid not necessarily. I think there's a lot more to do with overthinking. Not executing because they're scared, not because they think they don't have to.
“I have to earn their respect first.” First 2 min. Something I really needed to hear today. Thank you.
Attitude is the best gratitude. You have no idea how much your life changes surrounding yourself who not only lead by example but also help others succeed.
Dying laughing when he said "THE SMARTEST MAN IN THE ROOM QUIT!" *hits board* "Logical" lmaooooo
Zach Noegel I’m sorry to ask this, are we supposed to have emotions in decision making or not? I’m truly a bit confused.
The smartest guy left, best resume left too. There’s another guy that left the room too and those that remained own the company. Did the remaining people use both logic and emotions? Please help. Thanks 😊
@@kossieseii85 He means having passion for what you do emotion driven getting fired up and back on track the logical guy perhaps only looked at it from a numbers standpoint
😂😂😂😂. He's right tho. Life teaches harsh but it teaches best!
I think this video addresses arrogant and ignorant people, rather than smart people. Truly smart people are very aware of how much they know and how much they don't know, and are not afraid to admit that the latter is usually greater.
I can't believe your channel didn't hit 1million subscribers yet...you guys are doing some unbelievable stuff keep up the good work
first, I now know without any doubt that I am smart.
second, This smartness will take me now where.
Third, I am not arrogant because I am learning.
Thank you for sharing this awesome awesome stuff. I live to improve.
love the way u speak about your kids ..😀.. awesome video.. overflowing with passion n gratitude.
HE IS SO RIGHT ON REGARDING THIS SUBJECT. IT TOOK ME A WHILE WHEN I FIRST STARTED WATCHING PAT TO EVEN FIND OUT HIS NAME. HE NEVER, NEVER BROADCASTED HIS NAME.... HE WANTS TO LEARN...TEACH...ETC... HIS INTERVIEWS ARE AMONG THE BEST ON RUclips.
This is one of the videos we need to watch when we feel like we are going through the motions too. Definitely a wake up call. Great video Patrick. Thank you.Looking forward to the next one.
Pat you so right, to add to your presentation: I met people who became superstars in their field on a single idea and rode that for a decade only to become ego driven on that, a one shot wonder and got outdated but refuse to adapt and could not understand why their world was falling apart. I learned early in the Army to innovate, adapt, adjust and adapt which stills serves me today 5 decades later. Sometimes success come in small increments by adjusting and adaption and most of all humility, not ego.
Business is about dilligence not intelligence.
This is for those who don't understand the title of this video or even its content: What he meant to say is that so often those arrogant "smart" type of people fail in business, not those smart and hard working ones. We're all equal, there's no man or woman who is smarter or better than all the others, it just depends on the hard work you put into your dream. At least this is my opinion. Love from Romania Pat. Keep hustling.
"...wait til we get a million subs."
Wait what? OH this video is old lol now you're at 1.2M! Great job!
He's talking about humility. Pride comes before a crash.
What you should really say is: A crash comes after pride.
Pride factor is so true in business. We really don't know everything but we feel that we are entitled to respect due to what we have rather than look at what we don't have and improve on it. It is also the reason why underdog wins happen. "Do you see a person wise in their own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for them."
-Proverbs 26:12
I come back from a 3 day school camp, tired and exhausted. First thing I do on my device is watch all the Valuetainment videos I missed.
you don't do hard work you failed for ten years now everybody noticed-Patrick David that stuck in my head thanks for everything blessings
Pat you just opened my eyes today, thank you so much!!!!
Life changing, I spent/wasted 15 years working smart, made me look cunning, manipulative in pursuit of working smart, working smart is an illusion, it earned me nothing, I will try working hard now and am sure it always works 😊
After this video smart people don't look so smart anymore
A lot of smart people are smart in their own area of expertise. Like smart people tend to follow careers that are mathematically and scientifically based. Like engineering, programming, Chemistry, and etc. But thats almost about it. They let their egos hinder them in growing and constantly developing as a person. Plus what I also learned about smart people is they tend to live in their own bubble like they think they are wasting their time if they don't associate with people that think of things the way they do. They tend to reject change and they like doing things their way even though it may be flawed. Like one smart person that became rich was Elon Musk. However he did not graduate from college, he was broke in the beginning, he learned to adapt to changes, and he risked majority of his money in creating all of his businesses. He was failing before he even made marginal profits.
Because this isn't really about people that are smart...
Watching this 6 years later, and having been a Valuetainment follower for the last few years, is just prophetic. Practice, then preach. Keep up the great work guys!
I feel guilty that i've wasted 21 yeas of my life time, studying false statements,
thanks for the great content sir, hats off!
Not to sure I'd go with the word "wasted" ... Did you get married? Have any kids? Having a rich life is a lot more than making money.
Listening to Pat is more inspiring than any other entrepreneur I ever heard. Like you can actually relate to him.
Hi pat im 14 years old and a huge thank you for making these videos, they really help me understand different aspects of business and inspire me to be a young entrepreneur. I really wish the education system would teach things like this because it is so much more useful in later life than some of the things they teach at the moment.#squad
This is my bible. I come from being the number 1 student in my class 6 years in a row. I sometimes let it go to my head. This video always brings me down to earth. Let’s have fun!
"Wait till we get a million sub..."
Now that's prophetic.
Omg I watch your show a lot. I love how you know that it's important to not talked credit for someone else's idea. That's how my brother and I grew up... Giving credit where it's needed. Even if someone doesn't ask us where the thought or effort came from ..... Especially when they gave the credit to to the wrong person.... We stop that person and say " no, it not me. It's was .... Who came up with the idea"
Anthony Bourdain said a really important thing about always considering yourself the least intelligent/knowledgeable person in the room. He was very right about that.
Most bosses are shitty leaders and crash businesses because they don't take blame and only credit. Worked with a lot of them.
Hard work vs smart work: only when you work hard can you find out spots to improve and work smarter. You will never be able to make work smarter unless you are willing to work. Starting with the thought of smart work means you want to avoid work, live from efforts of others and never know about your full abilities.
As a prior business owner it's important to have the support of those around you - I had a 5 Star business that failed - My fault for growing too fast
Family (had the money to support me) refuse to invest in my business - Landlord changed management (earlier management worked with me) that was hostile to my business and refuse to make any deal to keep my business going - Even tried to partner with another larger business - This was really hard since I was use to being successful by making deals that lead to successful outcomes in a previous business adventure (sold a profitable business I started) and as a Government Program Manager. In short - many successful people fail a few times before becoming successful - Learn from your mistakes and keep moving forward.
I plan to start a new business and will apply what I have learned - My goal is not to get rich - My goal is to provide my customers with a great product that they will love and tell others about.
Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish.
I don't think becoming a successful entrepreneur is necessarily intelligence but character. Thanks Pat
C'mon gotta at least reference the guy who said that quote (Steve Jobs).
TOPSPOT who had a 160 IQ lol
Patrick you are a hero man. Your energy your efforts just show how passionate you are about helping others.
*reads title*... Fuck!
MrAce same! :D
Don't ever call yourself smart, otherwise you'll miss the best opportunities
AI will disrupt capitalism significantly.. be prepared!
Kiwi Hi, what ways can we expect to see in the next 5 years? Low skilled workers being replaced by computers? I.e. cahsiers
Kiwi It was a joke ffs.
I see why number 1 is the most important. We have to keep improving & innovating.
My brother in law, has this scenario when a fight is eminent. He ask his opponent: do you want to win or loose? Answer is: I want to win!!! So my brother in law by the way called A-iwan respond, ok you win and shake hand.... Fight over!!!!!0
"you are not as smart as you think you are" what a passionate lesson! Thanks
It seems like alot of success in Business is about the mentality and just doing it!
it is much harder to do nothing than at doing something in life because it leads you to wrong paths in life homeless, depression and more..
Absolutely golden. And you were talking about how great it was going to be to get to 250K subs, now you are at 1.3 mil +. Way to go Pat, you da man, thanks for sharing 💪🏼⚡️💥👍🏼
+Valuetainment message: Humble yourself, apply yourself to supply your wealth.
I'm borrowing that
Humble is the wrong word, imo.
I'd say, round every corner like it's potentially your last. Always look for your weak points, even if you're pretty sure there aren't any.
Be a little paranoid. Be on edge. Be ready for the 180 I.Q. monster to come in and start fucking your shit up.
It's not humility. It's knowledge that you can be taken down in a very quick hurry.
The sweet spot between confidence and caution is the key to success.
People with high educations should take notes. I have met/known so many of them and they all have these very similar issues. Those of us who have lower educations are more successful at business than them, and they dont understand why. Usually say we are just lucky.
This video makes me want to work harder.
"You can't outsmart hard work." Priceless.
Man!?! This guy is beating crap out of that chalk board.
I'm a high school drop out, 31 yrs old, and used to be a risk-taker, and careless prior to 25. The more I learn, the wiser I get, the less risk I want to take, I doubt myself more, and I care less about things but still want the lifestyle I've been seeking. There are days I want to thrive and reach the highest high of success, and other days I contemplate self-deletion without really wanting to do so. Just tired of my current lifestyle but my fears and doubts take over causing me laziness and not giving a fck about doing anything. Its been wavy, ups and downs, day after day, week after week.
Doesn't sound like a smart person. Sounds like an arrogant person. People who are really smart know the limits of their intellect.
@MegaSkilla HAVING A HIGH IQ DOESN'T NECESSARILY MEAN THE SAME THING AS BEING SMART, AND BESIDES THAT THERE ARE "DIFFERENT TYPES OF SMART/BEING SMART.
2:00 Shoshin disappears
3:40 Too conservative
4:50 Over promise but under deliver
5:15 PHP story
7:00 Fact driven (logic, emotion)
10:30 me mentality
16:40, ‘wait till we get a million subs’
*now at over 2 mil subs.
- Proof in the putting
Here are few of my points:
1. Work hard - only the staff you created can be your most loyal witnesses.
2. Stay humble - you are not as smart as you think, there always someone that is:
- bigger master then you
- working harder then you
- find out a point you missed
3. Do not think you'r safe - always be alert and try to be as updated as possible.
4. Do not be afraid to ask questions - this will help you understand and help everybody around you find out any issues that probably standby under the surface.
5. Do not be afraid to teach - this will mark you as the export and will help you clear any "under the surface issues".
6. be around people that better then you - this will help you improve, keep you alert, save you from laziness and most impotent; give you hope and something to aspire to.
7. Keep your target in front your eyes and your mind clear from unrelated noise.
Hop it help and encourage someone here and I would like to thank Valuetainment for inspiering this comment :-)
Efi
This has been so helpful to me in my tutoring business. Thank you for helping to push all entrepreneurs to improve DAILY.
sometimes its better to let people win an argument but sometimes you have to stay firm to get what you want
Love you, Pat! Your content is better than 2/4 years worth of college.
I think I understand why people with a lot of degrees would have the tendency have a more "me mentality".
Before I was more open to others, caring about what others wanted more.
Now I study civil engineering. This forced me to be very selfish to do study for my own. So much information that there was really less time for anything else.
The second thing is that every " has" to be accurate. All the calculations have to be by the specific rules. Because people before have already analysed the subjects over years and put all that information on paper.
Over a time it would have an effect that stays when used to that habit more.
Squaaaad! thanks Pat.
Samuel Boateng here we go, thanks VT
+Samuel Boateng 🔥🔔💰
We are not smart people or we wouldn't do PhDs with head damages. Hi, Pat, I think this lecture will be shared among our families from 9 yr old to 42 years old, from elementary students to Ph.Ds. It teaches us how to become a better person. Thank you very much! Yi
24:04 It's like saying you've mastered something already and that your "cup" is full.
It's the same as saying "I can't learn anymore because my cup is full, anything poured will just come back out".
Damn! So much knowledge stuffed into this video.
Thank you, I'm learning many things from your channel.
Mounaim from Algeria
This was very inspirational and educational video!! Thanks so much ! I wish your team the best health, wealth and happiness!
Thank you Pat, I am starting back at the bottom, thought I was smart, not a great resume, and I knew that didn't matter. Changed focus after losing my job of 15 years. I AM hungrier than ever and I am going to make bro. Thanks for your channel. See you at the top!!!
16:42 "... wait til we get to a millions subs..."
I am watching this in February 10th, 2020 and there are currently 1.92 mio subs.
Waiting finished. ;)
#1 BUSINESS CHANNEL ON YT!
"Heated arguments that ended up turning into 3 babies afterwards" hehe :D
Hardwork, do the dirty work. Starting a new company and needed a reminder go get my hands dirty. Thank you so much for sharing your insight of the business World.
While it is generally accepted there are several "intelligences"; going forward, I will be focusing solely on IQ. Typically, when people refer to "smart" people they are referring to either education or IQ. The two are too often conflated. Anyone of normal intelligence can be educated. I prefer to use the standard use term because it is appropriate. (You're right, I am fond of rules.)
In fact, it is the concept that any person of normal intelligence can be educated which is at the heart of my quibble with your video's premise. I clicked to hear opinion regarding why and how the smart fail at business only, in fact, to hear why educated and previously successful people fail at business. None of the characteristics you describe are typically associated with "smart" people. Smart people beginning at the second standard deviation right of the normal curve; which is the designation for gifted beginning at a level of 132-135 on the Wechsler intelligence tests for adults and children. This represents approximately 2% of the population and is the minimum requirement for entry into MENSA (an international society of and for the smart).
Of those considered gifted (2%) or profoundly gifted (1%), it is typically the case that they underestimate their abilities rather than over estimate them according to studies. Further, many of the traits you recommend are attributed to the highly intelligent: (www.Business insider.com/8-common-traits-of-highly-intelligent-people-2016-7)
-highly adaptable
-able to admit ignorance
-insatiable curiosity
-open minded
-high self-control
-sensitive to other people's experiences
-very funny
-very individualistic
While I have only provided one reference and, admittedly, it is a lay reference; there are many studies readily available through any search engine which confirms this information.
So, it would seem someone didn't do their homework which would have prevented the sharing of completely erroneous information which appears to be (and this is just a guess) based on prejudicial beliefs generated by feelings of educational inadequacy.
Ordinarily, I would not have responded to such grossly incorrect information being shared by a self-proclaimed subject matter expert but one presumes people come to your channel to be educated and as you pointed out you have a sizable subscription base which is expanding. Let us stop the propagation of this particular brand of both ignorance an anti-intellectualism here. Shall we?
Absolutely right!
its 2018 -2020 ..still watching...This need to be a book...@ Pat
Ah this are book smart people, not Einstein smart
I don't understand.
SeSe Einstein is business/life smart too (other than in quantum physics)
“Smart” meaning they performed well as measured by an improper standard.
Yea no street smart
Agree Einstein was a Millionaire and Back than a Million Dollars was worth way more than it is today
Well is Jan 22nd,2020 and Valuetainment has 1.87M subs (including me) and its very easy to see why....
There are lots of business coaching and motivational videos out there on Utube....but imho this is among the very very best - real, authentic, entertaining, insightful and the experience of a real successful entrepreneur who has been there shines through!
thanks Pat! great vídeo help me a lot :)
#squadnotifications
Great piece... Acting smart is clearly "UNWISEST".
19:08 Garryvee vs Tai lopez
haha yes, I thought the same! :D
Both are amazing though
One Reason to sum it up:
Overthinking, Risk Aversion.
However, Risk Affine Charismatic People that are good in Sales tend to often lose everything because they belittle things like hardcore oldschool accounting, risk management which are absolutely essential in combination with the aforementioned characteristics in order to rise in business.
"Why smart people fail"
Proceeds to describe people who are by no means smart.
Kind of felt that
Exaclty. Patrick displays insecurity about his own intelligence. It was very visible during the interview with Ray Dalio, who is truly smart and intelligent.
your Passion is addictive and i love your Aggression
But if you're actually smart you wouldn't make these mistakes.
Depends on smart what. What he means by smart isn’t socially smart, but book smart.
nothing is perfect
you ain't god
there are always blind spots
My intelligence transcends blind spots. I know how many hairs are currently growing on my arse and I can use my immense brain power to create a magnetic field that will arrange my arse hairs into intricate patterns. This is possible thanks to the iron-enriched cereal that I eat passing through my intestines and sticking to my arse hairs in the form of ferrous dingleberries. That is what I do when I poo, so imagine what I do when it's crunch time, bucko.
Thank you Valuetainment.

Some good advice. But your connection to smart people is completely wrong.
A. Dumb people do all those things also.
B. There are at least three other back breakers that will kill any business. i.e. accounting/spending, product knowledge, liabilities/insurance etc. … My point? Many business owners, some of which are smart, don't do a single thing on your list and still fail.
And let me take this opportunity to point out that if a person is truly smart they know most of these things already, have already learned these lessons from the many life experiences that most of your list is relevant to. People with a degree from a prestigious school do not qualify as smart people based on that fact alone. I'd say anyone that sits down at an interview and says, "You have to give me an executive position because that's what I went to school for.", is obviously a moron.
C. There are many successful people, smart and dumb, that are guilty of most, if not all, the things on your list
You could make all those points without making it a negative about a group. What if someone posted a video that was titled The Reasons Iranian People Fail in Business and used the exact same reasons you have, only before each point they say that this is a common characteristic of Iranian people's thinking.
The answer is obvious, you even say it in the beginning but then switch to smart people. It is not smart people you are talking about it is people who think they are smart but are actually not, and also unintelligent scholastic achievers that think scholastic achievement is the only way to gauge intelligence, and smart people that think being smart counts for something, which again exposes a pretty obvious limit to their intelligence.
Most of the people fail and you named them smart and so how you grown more view... You are too smart man. Respect. I know who I am :)
I actually feel a little offended the title and thumbnail are misleading. Usually nerds always strive to improve and keep learning. The title should be mr. know it(Usually medicore IQ) all and not smart people( high IQ but can also be mr.know it all). EInstein, Aristotle, Bill Gates, Zucks (high IQ) are all curious people who keep learning.
No one knows Eisenstein's real IQ, its a myth; and i don't believe IQ is a real measure of intelligence, truth is i have no idea what it means to be intelligent, the nerd who works hard is just disciplined and determined, this has nothing to do with being smart in my honest opinion
Agreed. IQ cannot fully portray ones personal intelligence. Maybe book smarts, but really... if you can't think of things yourself and always use what you learn in a book to justify everything you do... you have a longggg way to go in the world before you are truly an intelligent individual. But then again... even intellect is ambigious.
yeah that's more creativity and vision. my creativity comes in sperts and writers block or "thinkers" block can become a hinderance, to where i'll feel not worth a damn, I think the people who are largely successful are very creative.
I don't like how you used nerd as a synonym for smart people. A smart person isn't necessarily a nerd.
Einstein was good, until he hit quantum physics
I definitely will be listening to you daily. I feel like all of your videos are talking to me. I’m understanding myself so much more. I have so much I want to give that I must be successful.
There you go
You talk too much, you could go straight to the point.
Mr. Bet-David. My name Sam from Nigeria, Africa. You are the best! Your teachings are direct and experienced filled. I am so impressed. In fact, I like your name and I will name my first son "Bet-David"! Amazing! Thanks for sharing your insights with us!
