I didn't expect much from this - just another business book？ Didn't know the author too。 But I was surprised， this book is a fresh breath of air， many new topics under many new perspectives。 Recommending！ I didn't expect much from this - just another business book？ Didn't know the author too。 But I was surprised， this book is a fresh breath of air， many new topics under many new perspectives。 Recommending！ 。。。more

Everyone should read this book。 Even if you are not planning to start a business， read the first few chapters。 You will definitely benefit from it。Pat shared the 5 strategies along with his tactics and lessons。 The stuff he shared in this book are from his experience。 In the book， Pat shared how he went from nothing as an immigrant to success。You will see how he thinks and approaches people and problems。His YouTube channel， Valuetainment is also good。This is a book that I will definitely read ag Everyone should read this book。 Even if you are not planning to start a business， read the first few chapters。 You will definitely benefit from it。Pat shared the 5 strategies along with his tactics and lessons。 The stuff he shared in this book are from his experience。 In the book， Pat shared how he went from nothing as an immigrant to success。You will see how he thinks and approaches people and problems。His YouTube channel， Valuetainment is also good。This is a book that I will definitely read again。 It takes time to apply and absorb the gems in this book。 。。。more

I always enjoy Patrick Bet-David's content。 He's more real than many of the other business mentors because he realises not everyone can or wants to be the next Google or Facebook。 Lots of real strategies to learn and implement in any business。 I always enjoy Patrick Bet-David's content。 He's more real than many of the other business mentors because he realises not everyone can or wants to be the next Google or Facebook。 Lots of real strategies to learn and implement in any business。 。。。more

PBD writes a compelling business book providing many examples， stories on how to move from amateur level to grand master level of applying business rules and strategies to lead you to be a better leader。 The first part of the book is interesting， insightful playbooks and the concept of thinking five steps ahead。 The latter part of the book becomes a set of deja vu similar to many other business books。

I often avoid books like this as typical self-help / salesman / motivational speaker /Tony Robbins style fodder， but decided to read this one for something new in the "business" realm。 Turns out it was a fast， easy， motivating read that got me to recenter some of my ideas about my own business and personal/professional growth。 Genuinely worthwhile as an entrepreneur to remind yourself of some basics。 I often avoid books like this as typical self-help / salesman / motivational speaker /Tony Robbins style fodder， but decided to read this one for something new in the "business" realm。 Turns out it was a fast， easy， motivating read that got me to recenter some of my ideas about my own business and personal/professional growth。 Genuinely worthwhile as an entrepreneur to remind yourself of some basics。 。。。more

Libro para emprendedore！ Patrick es un excelente orador e inspiración para muchos de nosotros。 Pero escribir no creo que sea lo suyo jaja。 Muy buenos consejos en este libro。 Sólo por esos secretos， vale la pena leerlo

Great read， practical examples applied to each lesson/principle explained。 Definitely a book you’ll use as a point of reference for in life and business。

It would get a better rating if it hadn't overpromised with the subtitle。 Ultimately this is not a book on strategy， let alone a book that can claim that reading it will allow you to "master the art of business strategy"。 Each chapter focuses on a bit of advice that the author has gleaned from his career in a niche life insurance market。 If you've never read a business book and you picked this one up， I wouldn't tell you to put it down。 But if someone came to me looking for a good book on busine It would get a better rating if it hadn't overpromised with the subtitle。 Ultimately this is not a book on strategy， let alone a book that can claim that reading it will allow you to "master the art of business strategy"。 Each chapter focuses on a bit of advice that the author has gleaned from his career in a niche life insurance market。 If you've never read a business book and you picked this one up， I wouldn't tell you to put it down。 But if someone came to me looking for a good book on business strategy， I wouldn't recommend this one。 。。。more

I heard Audio book。 Since the author reads， it gives a punch。 He is refering many things from his experience。 Also， he narrated his life story， which is touching。 some examples new to my imagination。 So， I need to reread to understand it fully。 US accent in his speech is good if you are interested in hearing that

My first impression of Patrick Bet-David when I started reading this book was that he's an arrogant self centered idiot 😁He might be， I don't know him， but as I went through the content I found his way of thinking in lots of aspects is sound， common sensical and actually really useful。This book made me think and reflect on many ideas both new and that I've seen somewhere else。Some topics and content however， sort of makes you cringe， it's really "American" focused， or he goes about presenting hi My first impression of Patrick Bet-David when I started reading this book was that he's an arrogant self centered idiot 😁He might be， I don't know him， but as I went through the content I found his way of thinking in lots of aspects is sound， common sensical and actually really useful。This book made me think and reflect on many ideas both new and that I've seen somewhere else。Some topics and content however， sort of makes you cringe， it's really "American" focused， or he goes about presenting himself as a ladies boy without any apparent reason for it。In summary， I'd say this book is worth reading and many of these ideas worth implementing。 。。。more
