hey do you know about the KBB program from Tony and Dean?

[@MichaelJayValueInvesting]

I'm in my 20s and so many of my friends are rushing into all of these right now.

[@logo5562]

Now you will be 25..🎉🎉

[@WealthbuilderzTV]

This is definitely some great advice for anyone in there 18-28

[@aurelianspodarec2629]

7-120 you mean :D

[@mccc4559]

Their?

[@dutchpuke1633]

I just turned 18 and my biggest mistake was gaming to much, one of the best tips i coald give someone is DONT GAME TO MUCH. Its just wasting precious time wich you could use to go to the gym or study!

[@spec_wasted]

I just turned 18 and would like to throw in prn too

[@ShriKanase]

I'm currently 19 and already have taken a business to over six figures in revenue and I just finished my first year in college. Thank you for this video. I will never stop working hard enough until I get where I want to be.

[@britneybowman149]

Wow that's really impressive! How did you do that?

[@Cooking_Asmr107]

Hey bro that's awesome it's sure that you've become a millionaire till now Could you guide me ?

[@iamadityasheoran]

I am just 17 and I am grateful that I learnt this early. Thank you idol :)

[@Kennan_Davis]

You're ahead of the curve! I'm 26 which is still very young. But I now have the burden of student loan debt. That's ok though I will persevere! Far from an excuse maker. And lets be honest, I'm only 26!!! Some people don't "wake up" or "learn" until they're 46, or 56. By then it's borderline too late. At least I don't have kids, I have a girlfriend but not married although we will get married eventually (been together 4 years and are great together), rent and didn't buy a house, are learners, live below our means so we can put money towards business and investments.

[@Kennan_Davis]

@Randummm Your comment is 100% irrelevant. You don't have to be good at spelling or english nor grammar to be a multi millionaire. Your way of thinking is 100% flawed and typical

[@benjaminsibson4265]

Ken you kind of do buddy. You need to learn to sell and if you can’t use words well it’s hard to sell

[@aperson2094]

Im 11

[@ju999X]

@Randummm I chuckled, thank you

[@muditsh3298]

I just love the way he explain things, i just can't stop listening and learning from it. I m 18 right now , I m watching all the videos and for some reason i m getting excited about doing something great with my life.

[@thabesttheris]

Thank for your work. Youve really become a mentor from afar. God bless.

[@glow15]

Thanks for this! Your videos are very empowering and meaningful. It means a lot. I'm constantly surrounded by negative people but your videos taught me how to focus on what actually adds value to life instead if letting other people's mind sets tie me down. I absolutely agree with the part where you talked about what to take time on and what to not. Thank you so much :)

[@Captain77able]

Even at 65 years of age, this is great advice.

[@IdrisExplores]

Thanks for the video .. I just finished high school and needed this!😃

[@VALUETAINMENT]

Suggestion: find a buddy of yours from high school and study the content from valuetainment together. Especially if your buddy is driven and ambitious. The synergy can develop strong momentum.

[@IdrisExplores]

Valuetainment agreed! :D

[@DanielAndMelinda]

This is excellent advice for a 30 year old too! It's never too late to run for your purpose! As I was watching it, I realized it's been a little while since I've chosen to work an 80-hour week.

[@octoratorocktwistedsisterl9055]

Great advice Pat! I am 43 and have made many mistakes in my entrepreneurial path, I am mending my road. If I have listened this when I was younger my decisions would have been different. Thanks!

[@janakagrawal4261]

You are just great!!!! You got almost all topics covered And an amazing style of pin pointing things and explaining that to us!!! Thank you so much!!!

[@parker3782]

ok but i liked the fact dude was straight to the purpose and so simple with his explanations .... most importantly: TAKE UR TIME

[@themoneymindset1293]

Always giving solid advice 👌

[@hammerjustice8869]

Graduating on Friday. Thanks for the message Pat 💪👊😎🔥🔥🔥

[@justusfractal710]

Just turned 18. I learn new things every day. Literally every day my conceptions of the world is shattered and changed. I've been watching since 70k subs, and you've inspired me to start to do things.

[@igo0di]

Patrick, this is the best advice ever. Respect.

[@sarveshkhapre3127]

It's just awesome hearing to you sir, I get so excited when that lion logo comes up in the notification bar 👌

[@rohitwagh7568]

Oh thank you man I've just checked that website you are very wise person this world needs the legends like you

[@InvestingHustler]

Wish I heard this advice when I was 18 👌 either way I will never stop pushing myself

[@RodrigoGonzalez-re7xu]

Same here specially the friends part!

[@VALUETAINMENT]

The key is to adjust. Adapt. Improve.

[@akmotivation1718]

Good luck!

[@Kennan_Davis]

Me too! But I'm only 26 and have plenty of runway to take off!!! If you're under 30 and don't have kids it's still as easy as it'll ever be. Not that it's "easy", but it's obviously harder if you have a mortgage, 3 kids, married, and are 45 years old.

[@nishantmanunahi]

Thank you so much Pat....One thing that i have really learnt from you is to become a Perpetual learner & I am not going to stop until i die. Thank you Mario & Tom as well. Stay great Man & Stay blessed...👍☺️

[@John-je1if]

Thanks pat. I cannot describe my appreciation for this channel. As soon as I finish my last few months of high school I’m going to watch every single Valuentainment video. I feel as if starting some sort of business is something that I must do within the next 10 years (for various reasons), and these videos give me a great foundation of knowledge and are transforming the very way that I think. Thanks again from a fellow Assyrian!

[@VALUETAINMENT]

John Toma there you go. You got that special Assyrian blood in you to do something special with it.

[@John-je1if]

Valuetainment you know it!

[@tamxo2451]

It's amazing how far this channel has come. Like seriously I remember you guys having barely any subscriber's! Road to 1 million!

[@Patienceandspeed]

In a world of short term fixes and the constant hunger for instant success I live this quote by PBD "The ones who will get ahead will be those who can focus on one thing at a time". I have done a daily realistic to do list for the past 2 years and It has rocketed my productivity compared to my peers. Dont get caught up in jumping ship every couple of months.

[@akashkumarsharma4717]

Waiting for this Opportunity since I started watching #Valuetainment

[@DjowAngu]

I’m not close to my father since i was 13, and because of that i grew without any role model nor father figure to look up to. Now, I’m already an adult, 22yo, but i look up at you with such admiration that you wouldn’t believe. I have such high goals and i want you to know Pat that you push me towards them. It would really mean a lot to me to meet you someday and i hope we do meet. Anyway, just know that you are a big part of the foundation that I’m gonna build my success on. Sincerely, thank you.

[@HussainAli-cf8ts]

It awesome seeing valuetament growing to 1 million subs I love this channel so much and I have learned a lot as I’m going to 10 grade this channel inspired me to join BPA and that has been quite the experience as I went to nationals and hopefully I’ll learn a lot more

[@darlenelovescoach]

I love that... "The biggest product is people." Thank you for all you do. AND I didn't wait to get married and was married and divorced 3 times by the time I was 40, I didn't wait to have kids, started when I was 16 and had 5 kids by the time I was 30. I didn't wait to buy houses or wait to grow up and yet I did and do study people, I did and am still asking questions and living out loud, messy and been on the roller coaster ride forever. I appreciate your perspective and advice and I believe your advice is taking the calculated maybe easier route. However even if you took the"hard" route it's never too late to play the business game and creating a meaningful life serving the highest good of humanity and love. 💓

[@MBAtradeVala]

Gud morning sir! right now i am doing graduation and i watch your videos again and again on daily basis.. when i watch your videos, i feel like i invested my day and i use all the tips and tricks that u share in videos... my goal is to creat change for Something good and to be like you.

[@jarischol331]

Disciplin yourself. Have faith, work, fail, win, build knowledge, wisdom and (because of that) confidence trough the process, and you will recieve. That’s really it. (Harder than it sounds) But everybody can do it. With faith.

[@fmdb5333]

BANG!! So much wisdom and knowledge in under 5 minutes!! The best is the information flow!!

[@VALUETAINMENT]

Thanks

[@pathsofmeaningofficial]

The realest advice on youtube! Pat is the man ;)

[@utkarshsingh1335]

[@SamKhan-ru6go]

The same thing I thought about recently...I can't believe that my thinking is same as the successful entrepreneurs like you..!!

[@smrplayz6110]

I want to start my own business in the near future so this is very helpful pat thanks

[@sasha_gil]

This is perfect, I'm a highschool graduate. I'm not sure what I want to major in yet, but I want to work hard and be successful. Thank you for this wonderful advice! :)

[@brandonperez4847]

Do a video of how long it took before u put your foot down started chasing yor dream and if there was doubt along the way before u continued chasing

[@IanMcIlwraith0]

Thanks Pat! As a HS graduate as of two weeks ago I'm ready to start taking my time with those things. Great advice.

[@VALUETAINMENT]

Go getem. The best years of your life are ahead of you.

[@dreamluvr1600]

youre a great motivational coach! love the vid

[@LeadershipwithMike]

This would be a great opportunity for a new grad! I agree with taking your time. If your younger and focused everything DOES work out right in my experience!!!

[@agareas333]

Thank you! I needed that push to finally work hard. I am very ashamed of myself tbh, but I will focus on the important stuff from now on :) I really hope I will meet you one day!

[@convenience9078]

I'm above 18, but this is still golden...!!!

[@rubper8]

Great job Patrick. Watching the video now as my step son graduates tomorrow from high school. This video hit home as I can share my story with my step son Jose plus add some points Patrick you cover in this video. I really enjoy your videos it inspires me and motivates to do better.

[@VALUETAINMENT]

Thanks RP!

[@AB-vq2fr]

Thanks Patrick!

[@lumenous6540]

I have been subscribed to you when you guys only had 200,000 subs, and now you guys are so close to your 1 million goal!!!

[@kurmangee58]

A video on best advice for young students would be really helpful Pat!

[@VALUETAINMENT]

There is one.

[@cashgoldernie515]

The one thing about Patrick that people do not understand is that he forces you to reveal your hand. It's not just about winning, with Bet-David, but rather to get the task done with the smartest and brightest minds. That's Patrick. He wants to win, no matter what, because he has years of holding that skill of winning and winning the best way and he doesn't care who he utilizes to do the task.

[@igobyrj]

Love it Pat!🔥👍

[@MaCamarsh]

I learn more from you in 5min than I’ve ever did in school

[@fahad-m62]

Hi Patrick and the Valuetainment Team! Excellent video as always! Quick question: have you guys looked into putting together some kind of private online forum for entrepreneurs under the Valuetainment roof/brand? If there is one do let me know, otherwise I think it would be so cool to have a place where all of us can share books, content, information, strategies, etc. Just a thought that ran through my head 😋 Thanks!!

[@pat9209]

Holy Grail of advice!!!! Thankyou!!!!!!

[@brookemma9497]

[@cashgoldernie515]

Make sure that the foundation is built on gold and that you circulate a debt free payment system. Become your own bank, now and pay all the taxes on every transaction on a debt free payment system. How else can we buy the seats in the House and the Senate, if not by increasing our money supply with gold? You'll end up owning a high paying job, just like everyone else if you don't.

[@shecallsmejuvi]

Debt : 150$k

[@TAHJBecomeYourBestSelf]

I'm 18. Glad I found this video before it's too late. On top of this, your being an 18 year old, learn patience. Understand that life is not a sprint, but a marathon, a journey. As young persons, we don't seem to have patience, which is an important constituent of this thing called life.

[@itsnasira1853]

What about now.....20yo😂

[@TAHJBecomeYourBestSelf]

@@itsnasira1853 lol I’m actually 21 right now.!

[@littlebrodie6988]

[@VALUETAINMENT]

Merci Aram Jan!!!

[@user-fe2xu2fq3l]

I just graduated high school last week. To be honest with you I feel lost and directionless. I'm not sure what I want to do in life yet, or how I should go about it, but I definitely want to do something business related. I already have strong work ethic, I just need to learn how to communicate with people better.

[@VALUETAINMENT]

It’s normal. Get involved in a company that has a sales position with someone who’s willing to teach you. And work your ass off to learn everything they know.

[@D.Iverse]

I'd also like to know

[@markb8312]

Thanks Pat!

You're a King.

[@kylarogers2437]

[@chek1n]

I want to +1 your advice on staying away from drugs. I lost 1.5 years of my life to smoking weed and doing psychedelics. Luckily, it was only a year and one of my mushroom trips made me see how crappy I made my life with these drugs(ironic that the shrooms made me confront that fact). It made me see that the weed wasn't helping my depression and PTSD at all, it was only lying to me that it was ok to smoke everyday, every hour to make things "feel better in the moment". After my last trip, i just decide, no more weed, no more psychedelics, no more hanging with people that dont think intellectually, and no more "I'll worry about that in a few years". I realized that you can get all those benefits of psychedelics by meditating and clearing your mind, naturally. I also realized that I was not playing the "long game", I was living life for short term pleasures, now I want to play the "long game". It's given me my motivation and spark back that I lost when I started dabbling with drugs.

[@AA-wo4bx]

I love you man

[@travelelsavador]

For the last 2 years i've been working on my plan. I've been learning everything about Marketing since just the simple courses from Tai Lopez to asking Hollywood recent superstars for their strategies, getting information for all sources and using this knowledge to grow accounts. Currently putting my knowledge to grow accounts and soon enough once this account are going viral I will open my own Social Media and Marketing Agency and my main focus will be help people to take advantage of the influecer economy and businesses owner to massivelly grow their sells and audience with my services! I hope I can get to do all this before 2018 ends😊

[@travelelsavador]

Also, thanks Patrick for the advice, you share so much value with Valuetainment! If I can be for help to you, I am always open to do it. ([e-mail])

[@brianbitter158]

hey man, could I talk with you? where can I found you?

[@robertbarr9926]

It actually starts at age 14-15 years old. At 18, I was very matured and with some decent amount of money. The sooner you get serious about yourself and the life tu you wanna live the better

[@VALUETAINMENT]

That’s true. It’s an edge. I started late. Many of you are years ahead of me.

[@MariyahGabriel]

Excellent Advice!!

Wow come on man. No one is going to give props to the valuetainment logo in that building, LIKE this to show them love

[@jettresss]

I had to disconnect with everyon person I thought I loved. It was easy, hard to process. I did that at 17. And yes I learned very young. Detailed cars at 16 so tiring. And I'm very empathic and social. But i try not to get to close to people they start to suck like leeches

[@overlycreative1]

You understand clearly. You grasp what much of humanity finds little time to appreciate. Great knowledge is not in the mountain but in the sand that falls between you open fingers, close your hand and see what you already know.
