New here, he's a little bit pumped up so it gets tiring... But great Q!

[@carlosmourgues7884]

Pablo Escobar maybe you should watch some of his older videos. Still great quality stuff. He started chill and got more pumped over time.

[@janjosephguerrero]

It amazes me how Pat came from humble beginnings and built an empire from ground up. I really feel that he must have believed on himself in a gigantic size just to foresee where he is heading to when he was still starting to build his success.

[@kaypakaipa8559]

Patrick you're prophetic my Brother. I actually thought I'd become crazy. Ive just graduated last month, i have a basic 9-5pm. I sleep 6-11pm, start coding at 1am-7am, then off to work,weekends im fulltime coding & strategizing my project. Through the 9-5pm, i basically spend 95% running through scenario's, product designs, strategies, models, and by launch time i grab my Sketchbook, and note down all ideas to be implemented when i get home. Ive been doing this for about 2-3years, that i do this unconsciously now, i feel like im in such a hurry. I cant handle bullshit conversations about nothing. On my bus rides i read pdf papers on Cloud/Networking/internet technology in attempt to trully become an expert. What you're saying here is great to hear, because ive gone from alot of friends to simply hanging on my own. It feels like we dont speak the same language anymore. I work so hard because i want to revolutionize the tech industry in Africa, im tired of the bullshit narrative my country has. I believe only innovation & capitalism can change this. Even if i fail i have to be an example for the ones who'll get it right in the future.

[@CliffordStarks1]

Thank you for the powerful share. Looking forward to your success🙌

[@MB561]

Just remember that networking is the key to building a successful company because it is here you develop an all star team and can put together partnerships as well as get a lot of good ideas and be able to validate and/or amend your current ones through conversations with smart people. If you're looking to build a successful company you cannot isolate yourself. You need people, you need relationships, and you need constant engagement with people. It is not a solo mission. It may begin as one but your goal is to make as many people buy into it and be a part of it as possible. Remember, as Founder, success means you build something so attractive and lucrative other more talented leaders want and will take over for you as ceo and take it to the next level. You are quite literally building success until you made yourself as ceo not the best choice for the ceo position. You're building yourself into unemployment. That's what a good founder-ceo aims for. This is not about ego. You can have the ego with what you left behind when you finally create your exit / liquidity event. YOU NEED TO CONSTANTLY BE ENGAGING WITH PEOPLE ON ALL KINDS OF LEVELS TO BUILD SOMETHING TRULY SUECESSFUL. It took me 35 years to learn this.

[@elvisndua]

​@@MB561 Totally true💯

[@Mayankbhattacharya]

Looking crazy SHARP Patrick!

[@Squats4Days5541]

I can't believe how much this channel has grown. I remember Patrick had to leave for a while to focus on his company and only had around 250k subscribers.

[@VALUETAINMENT]

I remember that as well. PBD

[@hendristarbuck1809]

Patrick has painted a great picture of a founder. Based on his success and experiences I believe it is an accurate perspective on what makes a good founder. As a young founder I will strive toward developing these qualities to be in line with Patrick's input.

[@VALUETAINMENT]

Go getem.

[@ResourceTalks]

In this world it's not important what you know, it's important WHO you know, whatever you want to become the best thing to have is someone behind your back, someone that has the right power to push you up.

[@PromoteThisBerwick]

Love the suit and the vid. Really hit home on what a great Founder is and the importance in their role. Our founder is very much as you described. We feel safe and excited to be on this journey. Keep up the great work Pat, love hearing from you.

[@antonforsell1454]

I really like the high tempo you have when you speak and you are so straight forward with everything, I find it somewhat rare.

This is probably the most valuable video I've watched from Valuetainment. Love it!

[@Dion101st]

Great video Pat! Thanks once again. Your video's always inspire me so much and at the same time it's relaxing and educative. It gives me instant energy to get to work immediately and not postponing tasks. That would be #21 for me, a great founder is inspiring. Thanks again Pat! See you in the next video.

[@hilarykey8189]

Amazing. I’ve been running a successful company for 21 years, and am about to start another branch of it. This describes me in so many ways! Man, am I on the right track.

Amazing content Patrick. Thank you for the PDF's Mario! I made a whole file of all the episodes

[@forevertools67]

Excellent video. Excellent instruction, insightful realizations, knowledgeable (experiential) truths. Entrepreneurs onward!

[@GloriousAssam]

You're speaking right to me here, sometimes I feel absolutely mad to be doing this to myself, some days it feels like I'm chasing a dream at the expense of a life - but deep breaths, recall my purpose, walk a bit, talk outloud with a dictaphone, suddenly it all comes back and can be made sense of. Thank you!

[@BenjaminVevang]

thanks for all the great value!

[@LakdhesSelvan]

You're awesome Pat.Thanx.Your words never fails to give me hope.Stay blessed.

[@riteshosta1]

Thank You Pat .. U make sense out of this madness.. We go through

[@GLHHC]

Thank you Patrick

[@MB561]

I'm a founder. I checked the box for 18/20 of these. I completely agree about the importance of every executive role within a company and also completely agree that a founder is rarely the person who takes the company to the next level. There is a time I know it will be best to step down and let a seasoned manager take what I and my team built to another level. And I am totally fine with that because a) I'd rather have less or no control of something much more successful and enriching than the reverse, and b) I have 6 more ideas I am dying to build. I bring to life my visions of what should be or what will be in the future. Managing a success is much less interesting to me and because of that I recognize that's when you're most vulnerable to making company sinking mistakes. Although I believe I would be a good manager of an already elevated company as I would constantly want to grow the company through evolving it and keep it forward thinking, unlike google, microsoft, and even apple who are all hardly tech companies building the future anymore but instead consumer goods companies who only slightly tweak the product / service with a new bell and whistle hear and there but don't actually innovate and create too much. Ex. Google sitting on billions in cash because they have run out of ideas to build.

[@clinstar3237]

Thank you so much for your words of encouragement! I have a lot of those qualities. Thanks for helping me recharge my batteries from a burnout. I know exactly what you're talking about and the reasons behind it. It feel so good knowing that somebody understands. thank you so much

Wow, this is exactly what I needed. I thought I was losing my mind, but it turns out this is just the typical experience when you're determined to make a difference in the world.

[@whoareu-podcastaboutlifeat257]

I think perseverance is 99% of the game. If a founder has properly evaluated his idea, and truly believes in its potential I think that the only thing stopping the operation from becoming successful is willpower and perseverance. Never, ever quit

[@junayethprovat5207]

Hello, Pat. This is My first Comment on your videos. I have been watching you since last 8 months or so. Luckily I was at the brick of leaving my college studies, come back home to Bangladesh from Malaysia and start an e-commerce platform. The first two months I was watching your old videos for hours everyday which certainly helped me to decide and execute my plan. For the last 6 months I've been working on my idea and business, which isn't new but I'm trying to craft it as the best version of all time in context to my country. We're still in development phrase and waiting for our product which is the website and app to be finished. At first it was like 2 months to start but after all these months it's still looks like another couple. I've lost people around me and left with only one of the 9/10 people I had. But we are holding strong and trying to hire new people who suits our company as well as has the urge. But the number one problem is money. We have very little fund and salary we can offer is nothing compared to our competitors. We are already paying the price of not spending enough to hire specialist on development which could've gave the product sooner then where we at now. I don't what's gonna happen, but I believe we can make it. Just wanted to share this you as we might never get the chance of talking. I would like you to inform that you're doing a tremendous job helping entrepreneurs all over the world. God bless you. Thank you for all your videos and advice.

[@VALUETAINMENT]

Junayeth Provat thanks. I hear you. Look forward to meet you at our first LIVE Valuetainment conference soon.

[@junayethprovat5207]

For 4 years, as i pursued culinary as a career after retail, i worked for a start up cooking food for dogs for a Polish man named Peter. A lot happened during those 4 years that now looking back a year after going out of business, I am currently working on a side business and have found a lot of similarities between his start up and my side hustle Peter taught me a lot by his words and his actions. He is such a kind man. I miss those days.

[@claudevallinyannick7045]

I really appreciate what you did. You changed my mind. Before I wanted to work for the public administration but today I decided to start my own business.

[@crawfordkmcdonald7313]

This is fantastic, I am good on most of these but have trouble with the hard conversations.

As a founder, I can COMPLETELY relate to all points Patrick is sharing here....!

[@eduncdam]

Your material always rocks brother. Golf Foxtrot Juliet!

[@jaelkibui1944]

I love this video because I see a lot of these qualities in some small businesses and I don’t see some of these in others, and I can tell who is here to stay and who isn’t

[@VALUETAINMENT]

There you go.

[@timdunn5991]

Love the content! You always produce great vids! I like that you're delving into blockchain alittle bit as well. You should have Jared Tate the Digibyte founder on to talk about blockchain tech. He's been grinding for years now and has helped many other blockchains solve their issues. He's a great guy, would love to see him on your show!

[@davidfaiheng]

Great advice for me... I'm starting my own company right now and I really need this..

[@jeanpolanco939]

What your company?

[@BerylWalubengoAnyitiNanyama]

The swaying... Got so many job offers. Constantly selling. I like that you interact with your viewers in the comment section. The pointers you share are never an imitation they are the real deal not those media promoted points. Just great.

[@scottlim1434]

Pat I love your suit man. Gives off an evil and powerful look but the words you speak that match an aura of light balances it out. Anyways, thanks for the motivation and perspective helps me embrace some of what I thought were my bad qualities

[@itsaconspiracy5073]

You literally described me 100% that's crazy wow

[@lisandman]

Didn’t work with a good founder BUT I got in trouble because I was becoming one! Even from terrible founders you can get motivation to start your own shit. Now, working hard to make my idea to work. PS. It is true that for women sometimes is difficult to get respected by their men coworkers and bosses. Now it’s time to shine and show them what this girl is made of! 💪🏼

I watched this years ago, but just came back here again to say this was great Pat! Would have preferred you to be in more casual wear here, since we're talking about founders vs. big company CEO's - but this suit will do :)

[@PositiveSh.t]

Hi Patrick, love your videos ........ great information.Could you please do a video on the finance part of it like equity, valuation and those basic stuff. If u already have .....then please do send me the link for it. Thanks once again.

[@yannikglatthaar8658]

Wow patrick, awesome video! I watched it earlier in 1.5x speed but I decided that this video is worth re-watching and taking notes! Thanks for all the insanely helpful content! I love your Interviews, you're really stepping up the game! Also, please hurry up and get to a million subs! Ever since your video "14 Strategies to beat your competition" I find myself getting distracted from whatever I'm doing and chewing through everything I have ever known to find out what the 14th and most powerful strategy is. I thought I would just fail and give up but it's getting worse. Last night I couldn't sleep for nearly an hour because of it. Please hurry up so I can get redeemed! Plus, I've taken the challenge to find out before the "big party" you're going to throw at one million subs. So better hurry up because I will not give up until I win!

[@ThomasTheTrucker]

Jeez Patrick, you didn't have to tell everybody about me

Hey Patrick! Nice content. Can you also do videos about firing a founder of a company..? Who could fire them & what are there rights & all the stuffs?

[@oneesandada379]

Hi Patrick, I believe the "Moody" part is not really about moodiness. For me, it's just Professionalism. When we're talking about business, it's just business; talking about plans, just plans; talking about what went wrong, the difficulties and challenges, we're just talking about those and nothing else. It doesn't change my relationship with whom I'm talking to. And so after all the brainstorming and difficult discussions, we could always go back to being the good friends that we are. Nothing personal. :) This is just for me.

[@adnandad6215]

Hi Patrick can you please make a video on how to deal with days when nothing goes your way please great video by they way

[@VALUETAINMENT]

Half my videos address that. But I’ll keep that in mind.

[@ShinobiPheonix1]
