What part of it do I control? What part of it do I have no control over, [...] I have to figure out how to increase my market value or else I’m going to get crushed.” “If you’re going to spend more time on Netflix more time watching all these shows, [...] if you’re going to spend more time on that than building value for yourself, learning new skill sets, yes the market’s not going to favor you the next 18 to 36 months.” “If you have fear, respect, and love, that boy has the highest likelihood of doing something big with his life.” “If you want to be the guy of the guys, of other guys, you can’t go by the standard as everybody else does.” “Choose your enemies wisely – it’s business planning for the audacious few, not the timid majority.” “If you’re going to do something big, you’re automatically going to have some enemies.” Follow Patrick Bet-David Website: Instagram: Twitter: Follow Me, Tom Bilyeu: Website: X: Instagram: If you want to dive deeper into my content, search through every episode, find specific topics I’ve covered, and ask me questions.
