Leading and running two very successful multi-million dollar companies would take an exceptional leader, and an exceptional example of that would be our today’s guest: Mr. Patrick Bet David. Patrick is a refugee from Iran, joined the military, before starting his venture in a business career in the financial services industry. In his early days, he said his dream is to become a body-builder and maybe join Hollywood. But his love for numbers paved the way for him being a financial advisor before building his own agency. He met a girl who he dated before who was a financial advisor for Lakers players and he saw that she makes good money. He got interested and dive into it without having a degree.

After a tenure with a couple of traditional companies, he was inspired to launch PHP Agency Inc. Today, he has 16,000 agents in 49 States with over a half a million square feet of office space. Patrick is passionate about helping the next generation of entrepreneurs by teaching thought-provoking perspectives on entrepreneurship and disrupting the traditional approach to a career. Not only is he successful in his agency and making courses available to other CEO’s and thought-leaders, but he is also very popular with his media company: Valuetainment, which has been referred to as “the best channel for entrepreneurs.”

Be prepared to be inspired today, as Patrick will share how he successfully lead two very successful business simultaneously, what his mindset has been, what’s his leadership skills, and how he imparts them to his family, especially his kids. This episode is the one with so many nuggets, so if you are in a place where you can take notes, you definitely should. Apply them, and they will definitely change your life.

Here’s What You Missed

• Patricks’s early life and how it shaped him into who he is today

Knowledge Nuggets

[8:17] I don't commingle the two businesses. There's complete different platforms that we have. And once you do that, you earn respect from both sides of the audience and they trust you more to do business with them.

[11:54] there's one of three gifts that we all have. You're either a great writer. You're either a great with audio or you're great on camera. Whichever one you're good with lead with that

[15:03] I think too many people do too creative stuff, way too early.

[18:04] I'm a 20, 20, 20 guy, meaning first 20 years of your life, try to not make a big mistake where you ruin your life. The second 20 years is find a career and stay in it for 20 years and make your money. The next 20 years, I'm going to combine my passion and business together. The last 20 years for me is going to be contribution.

[19:19] Money's gonna make a lot of the big decisions in your life and you cannot treat it casually. You have to take it very seriously. So profit matters just as much as passion does and value does.

[23:12] As a parent, ask these questions:  If you had to show certain values and principles to your kids, to give them the biggest upside to have their dreams become a reality, how would you change your approach to your example  you're giving to them because they're going to duplicate you in what ways would they need to live to have their dreams become a reality?  And if they do what you do as a parent, will their dreams become a reality?

[25:02] I just want to find what excites them the most and what their strengths are. And then I want to put them in that environment that highlights their strengths and their gifts.

[28:07] The number one key to success in my eyes is learning how to process issues.

[35:03]  I think a lot of times leaders are afraid of having civil conversations with people that you have to have would push buttons because they are so concerned about being like all the time. And I think in the world of leadership, you gotta be able to have the courage to do that.

[36:54] Go find somebody that's strong and shadow them for as long as you can, until you no longer need them.
