1. Not tracking your business 2. Not running on a system 3. Not having a predictable schedule 4. You're too cheap 5. Not having protocols for everything 6. No deadlines 7. Rarely hitting goals 8. You react instead of initiate/lack of urgency 9. Not knowing what you want 10. No desire to want to learn. Most importantly: don't be lazy!

[@getsmartquick]

dudes like you are a miracle for guys like us thank you my good sir

[@johnadan3509]

I totally agree and off course we can improve 👍 but one step at a time cause when everything rely on you we get over loaded 🧐 create a system to those who help you to learn and know what to do..... takes time 🤔 and patience......

Thanks for the mention, Pat. I was frustrated because all I could find on the Internet was just self-help motivational bs and sweet/comforting lies. There are so few men of action, while I was, actually, looking for real advice, numbers, techniques and strategies from men with experience in all that. And I found you. p.s.: by the way, your book, "Doing the impossible", just arrived in the mailbox today. Can't wait to dive into it :)

[@VALUETAINMENT]

👍

[@VALUETAINMENT]

Let me know once you finish the book. I would appreciate a review on Amazon once you finish it. Thanks.

[@jemie4647]

i agree (:

[@boodrow6969]

100% agree! Every time I look through the book selections in the Business section of most bookstores, 98% of it self-help feel good crap. I want MATH! Give me business math! Give me systems! I want strategy to be able to actually get the data and figure out my break even analysis as accurately as I can without just "guessing" on a profit goal. How am I going to actually calculate my marginal cost vs marginal revenue using real world techniques?

Peter Istrate - personal This dude is a real one thumbs up

[@sumitbedi1707]

Hi Patrick! I started my business 2 years ago and now I have a team of 17 people. I understand creating of system and tracking and measuring everything. But when I saw this video, you stressed so much on tracking everything and creating systems that I drew the entire map of my business again and drilled down as to what else I can track so that we can scale the business and improve the way we provide service to our clients. In this process of thinking, I created a Project Tracking Excel that is going to really be very very helpful to manage my business better and help me automate more things in business. So, I really want to thank you for giving such amazing content. Thank you very much!

[@SkyeLabMusicGroup]

Your videos have become my morning routine, and sometimes you're like a trainer in my ear, calling me out if I'm becoming lazy, or whining about something and feeling sorry for myself. You're strong guy and that's what inspires me! No excuses!!! Thank you for that. Straight talk.

[@lranjits23]

I am guilty for majority of these signs and didn't even realize why I've been feeling stagnant in business. Thank You Pat !

[@VALUETAINMENT]

+Ranjit Singh Not many things are as exciting as finding leaks in your business. It just means growth is around the corner if you're willing to discipline yourself and implement these concepts.

[@peterswellnesschiropractic4068]

I love how you tie things together. You even talk about "Love" being an action. I always get a golden nugget watching your videos.

[@SuperiorShine]

Pat, you've opened my eyes. I've been winging it for 26 years. You sent me in the right direction. I'm going to take you up on your 90-day challenge.

[@blakejett3500]

One of your best videos yet man. I was guilty of a lot of these on my first business. On my second business, it ultimately failed with me still letting a few of these bad habits linger. On my third venture now and coming at it from an entirely different angle. Not repeating my mistakes and moving to set myself up for success. Watching your videos refreshes my goals and I love where my mindset is at. Thanks Pat, love seeing a local DFW succeed while being humble.

[@VALUETAINMENT]

There you go, Blake.

[@brockwrichards]

man this is a fantastic episode.

[@VALUETAINMENT]

+Brock Richards thanks.

[@PrakashHathi]

Thank you much for this video. It's fantastic, makes us look inwards and assess the shortcomings and try to overcome them

[@yannickvanmeerbeeck598]

Pat, I'm really grateful to have found your channel. You're to the point, you bring value, and I'm gonna put in the work to stopping winging it!

[@TheMAYerOfRVA]

It’s an amazing thing when the algorithm actually works for good. I was randomly lead to this video. This is not a motivational video, but I’m guilty of your technical feedback and definitely feel motivated. You’re appreciated Pat. 🙏🏾

[@TheMAYerOfRVA]

Mind you that I’m definitely locked in, evidenced by the fact that I’m watching this video on a Saturday night at 10:44pm eastern time. C’est la vie…

[@Btburkhardt]

10:17 pm a year later for me! Crazy

[@jsingh650]

I don't usually comment but Patrick you are by far the best person I've heard for business advice and without all the motivation talk that many do but you have an actual plan.

[@VALUETAINMENT]

Thanks Jimmy.

[@Fjodor82SA]

I've been watching your content for the second month now and I must say I'm a huge fan. I can't tell you enough how grateful I am for the lessons learned by watching your videos. I was winging it in my profession and I failed miserably, now I'm implementing a system and trying to shift my mindset to be a better entrepreneur, and your content actually stopped me from quitting and i thank you for that.

[@carlospantoja6335]

You know when something is good when you hear or see it for second or third time or even the 5th . You receive info that assists you in you creating a mindset of an entrepreneur . God bless you and your family ! Patrick

[@RunwrightReads]

I am going to start tracking everything. I haven't been doing that. Thanks for sharing this

[@ashourinasada]

Wow, wow, wow! best one yet!!! Thank you for putting this list together, it'll help me show my team what we are lacking!

[@VALUETAINMENT]

Thanks.

[@shaykhchilly8529]

I've been binge watching this channel since I discovered it during the holidays. I appreciate the actionable content as well rather than just motivation. I'm way passed motivated! Lol. Keep 'em coming!!

[@thegoodness2046]

Pat, thanks for this information. I've had to face the facts that I've been winging it, all the while calling myself an entrepreneur. I'm getting myself and my business up to speed now and because of posts like yours, I'm seeing that being a true entrepreneur is possible, if I will bear down and focus and do the due diligence in operating a business. Posts like yours helps me see what needs to be done. I can't say it enough, thank you tremendously for that.

[@jmc4365]

your content is good enough to charge a subscription fee for. the fact that you don't charge for it or try and sell course's etc speaks volumes about your character top notch content thanks a million :)

[@MrBaggie20]

josh cullen this beats me all the time. others give less content but charge a pint of your blood

[@sanjivnandani1]

Well narrated the truth brother . Words of many hearts

[@sanjivnandani1]

Pat is TRUE WISE MAN whose words can truly change perspectives and thus change collective consciousness. Every video I listen to of his shakes me from head to toe externally n internally.

[@theBokie]

I have to be honest on this one. From all the entrepreneur channels out there, you are the most real. I mean most of them is about entertainment, you sir, you go deep in every details! I learn a lot with you, huge thank you, keep it up!!!! Peace!

[@VALUETAINMENT]

+Alexander BOK Vlogs thanks for the compliment.

[@ericgordonsr.6455]

This video is a couple of years old but still 24k gold ..... Thanks Pat!

[@onwrdandupwrd5303]

That's a very good point - PBD actually discusses real content and genuinely implementable things, rather than generic motivational stuff.

[@robertjimenez8525]

I was born muti millionaire my family does not give a penny until im 50 years old it to show you life works. I started bussiness at 17 running handyman business and at 19 i invested all my money in real estate so my college money and time went into my real estate business.

[@HassanMushaid]

The most realist business video on KZbin. Period. Roadmap/wake up call.

[@dbadking]

Been watching your videos for about a month now, and have to say this is some of the best content available on youtube or anywhere on the internet. Thank You PBD

[@67502realestateambassador]

It's been fabulous to see you grow over these past few years. You practice what you preach...🎉🍻

[@PowerofTruth66]

Pat this was a really good video. You can prefer one thing over another because they're all important. Success leaves behind clues. One thing that I've been vehemently against is when the so-called gurus talk about their success students. They put 1-2 guys in front of you and show you how well they did by working with them but they miss some very important things. 1. They don't show you or tell you about the other 98% of people that came through their program or worked with them that did nothing. 2. The show the external but not the internal. They can't show the mindset and the work ethic of the individual. They can't show the behind the scenes which are the 10 things you mentioned in the video. The external that everyone is so awed by is the illusion. The internal...the things you can't and don't see is the REAL TRUTH. Good job Pat...you crushed it on this one. Thanks

[@sweetpapayasourpeach]

I love that you mentioned youtubers who just post theories and stuff that doesn't really help. your videos really are the best. so practical and true

[@zclark092890]

Thanks pat. you made me realize a few areas where i am not planning and just "hoping it works out. I am still building my business while working a 40 hour/ week job.

[@blakely2945]

Thanks Pat for the high quality content. You provide multiple nuggets of gold in each video. Hopefully, your viewers will be able to return the value you provide us. Sincerely, thankful. - Blakely

[@riyadhzenasni387]

I rarely subscribe to channels, but this time after watching 4 or 5 videos and totally understanding what this guy is talking about, it was my duty to subscribe. Please keep up with adding content and ignore motivational speeches. I would like to write more but I am busy starting a business. Good luck everybody.

[@krzysztofkaczmarek8121]

What a great episode. Real knowledge, no BS. Keep up great work Patrick !

[@enjoy-ly7zw]

Love knowing Patrick is helping all of you young teens becoming an independent person

[@315Isabelle]

Thank you for this video and everything you do. Someone told me about you not long ago and since then I am watching all of them. Exactly how it's suppose to be, the absolute truth, No BS. That's how we will grow and improve.

[@jacoboutaleb5211]

Thank you. Motivation is a dopamine and bs. We need more realistic stuff. Last time I did business with an older man 81 year old and he ripped and new one. Well. I thank him for it and he ended up showing me lots of stuff and taught me a lot. He told me many ppl nowadays only want motivation and don’t want the truth.

[@Izzy1100]

Patrick, I ve been a bad follower of your channel since 2 years ago. When i say bad, meaning just listening and absorbing your content as much as I can. But not commenting or sharing it. Being entrepreneur is a tuff and lonely road. But your videos are legitimate very very helpful and i valued them as the most hands on truthfulness lessons someone can pass on to others this is by far and dare to compare this legacy of yours as the one Andrew Carnegie left us. But you are our present day great example of true Teacher of Entrepreneurship. Just want to thank you and your team for this awesome valuable lessons you give us. I am starting over with my Restaurant in Ogden Utah. LAS FLORES FRESH AUTHENTIC MEXICAN. without your channel this would not be.. best wishes

[@Mike343ful]

I almost missed this one. 6 years later and one of the most important containment vids I've watched. It's up there with the work ethic vid

[@WilsonExteriorCleaning]

Patrick your content is always so logical and is packed with value! Thank you and your team for working so hard to make all of this happen, you are an inspiration to us all.

[@paolosangalli7920]

Hey Patrick! Can't believe I didn't find your channel before today. Really really great content, practical, simply explained and real. Keep it coming :-)

[@TheMRFernandoPaiva]

I took the PDF and analyse it. As startup, we're winging on #1(tracking). Now that we're growing, we need to track sales, operation an taxes. Thanks Pat.

[@shunqettacunningham2608]

[@saiyedsaleem2662]

Thank you sir.. I just can't tell you how happy I am to get your knowledge. Thank you

[@RANDYORTONbest1]

Hello PBD. It would be great if you could make a short video (or long, based on your preference about the topic & about how you prefer to approach it) about "How To Establish a System as an Entrepreneur". I believe many people (including myself) would appreciate you defining what a system is (in the context of business), how to establish & stick to one, and how it differs from the Company Culture & Business Plan. (subjects you have already covered). Thank you for the great content!

[@thomassnyder6750]

Great content! I pastor a church and I find these lessons to be quite thought provoking. I want to be more effective in my community and this video helps me think in the right terms. Thank You.

[@VALUETAINMENT]

There you go. Growing a church nowadays has a ton to do with believing in the message just as much as knowing how to market the message.

[@abdulmoiz7]

Very nice Pat. Keep up good material sharing.

[@jameswilbur7886]

1. Track your business 2. Utilize a system 3. Establish predictable schedule 4. Eager to invest 5. Set protocols 6. Set deadlines 7. Strive to hit goals 8. Initiate! 9. Know what you want! 10. Be desired to learn

[@gabo1841997]

I find building systems or organizing work pipelines, making SOPs, and optimizing, so entertaining. It’s like architecture for your business, it’s challenging and creative. I don’t get why it is boring, sure learning BPMN is boring, but you get used to it quickly.

[@teppanyakilifewithchefninj52]

I'm gonna be just like you one day Patrick. Not exactly like you but just as knowledgeable as you one day. I read every day and study your channel for about 14 hours a day. I said I was gonna be the #1 chef at Benihana internationally and I made it happen. Ima say the same now with this. ..Thank you Pat for your videos. You are the best mentor anyone can ask for....

There was alot of serious content in this video. The one word that grabbed me came from point #5, PROTOCALS. You are awesome sir. I have about 10 tablets and folders with notes and a new direction for my business. You got to come back with more videos Patrick. After 9 years and watching your 🎥 s, I am realizing I am in a dry place and stale. Now I am going to watch 9 things that turn off potential customers.

Track EVERYTHING and create systems for your different operations to make the actions more consistent when it comes to time, be able to stick to a schedule, don't skimp on important purchases on your business, hit your goals a majority of the time, proactive>reactive, have clarity on your goals, if you're not growing you're dying

[@theedgereport7383]

Watching and learning , trying to become next level.

[@andreastevens3146]

Excellent, as always!

[@VanessasVanity4266387965]

I don’t know everything Pat that’s why I like to watch your channel and hear your feedback. But people don’t know that it takes a lot of documenting on things you implement in business even with people that you work with. Like a plan of action. You document so you can track what works and what doesn’t. Then you can start to cross out what you tried and didn’t work. Or you can reimplement what does work. That also can help to create a system. Like you said lots of data and you can also know when something is normal or Un normal to your business. Also you have to constantly be creative and try knew things to grab attention. That is constant. But anything you do has to make sense and add up with your numbers and why your focus is on a certain product or topic. All comes back to making sense and adding up to your numbers. Great video and thank you. Made lots of notes.

[@Ninopheen]
