“Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.” ― Mark Twain

[@1voluntaryist]

As a lifetime outsider, a "lone wolf", I still knew what the majority believed, but I didn't form my beliefs based on popularity. I needed to evaluate for myself, question, apply logic and experience. As I gathered info I constantly heard: "That's the way it's done, always has been that way." I am not impressed by that "non-answer" that so many accept as valid. I made my living by doing the unexpected, not doing it "like it should be done", after careful thought, a penetrating analysis.

To get to where we want to go, to live the life we signed up for will require the constant next best version of ourselves. Crazy to think that through your guidance we’ve earned through the platform you’ve created (waaaaay different than anything in the industry - system n culture) over $900k since the Pandemic Lockdown began. We owe it to you, our mentor, to execute on your coaching and accomplish what you’ve done sooner, faster and bigger. Here’s to the very BEST that is yet to come!!!

Problems are solutions still yet to be found. In mma, strategy is key when it comes to fighting. Just because youre bigger and faster does not mean anything without strategy. THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR KNOWLEDGE!

Probably one of your best videos Patrick. Thank you. I was trained as an engineer and I’d say they train you to solve problems (short term strategist), also, being too much in the trenches has made me continue to get great at short term strategy.. but that won’t get us far. We’ve been doing our best to be intentional to step away and come up with a more long term strategy for our restaurants.. Thanks so much for your videos 🙏

[@johnalvitre3154]

love this. My time as a Physician Assistant in the military is explained well by this chart. Short term- My medical providers and I had to perform trauma medicine to piece together and prepare the immediate threat(s) to the trauma patient but then, they were sent to to surgery for more management which we helped manage. Then, we looked to the cause of the injury in the first place and made our recommendations and changes. For instance, we had an influx of soldiers with eye injuries from blasts, we treated immediately, decreased swelling, and then sent to surgeons to get the best correction available then in our review of the problem/opportunity, we realized eye protection could reduce the number of injuries and the number later sent to surgery. Working in all three areas has made me greatly flexible and always vigilant of ways in can make the connection between these areas and how I can mitigate the scenario to benefit my desired outcome.
