Patrick's channel: @VALUETAINMENT & @PBDPodcast TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 🏢 Shadow experienced industry leaders for insight, not just success, and learn from their wins and mistakes. 01:12 💼 Negotiating equity after increasing value can lead to ownership or leverage elsewhere if declined. 02:49 🌟 Define your ambition within a role: leadership or support, and excel accordingly. 04:56 💸 Leaving comfort for growth often yields rewards, even if initially uncomfortable. 05:10 🌈 Sequencing matters: passion might not always align with financial success. 11:08 🤝 People skills, conflict resolution, and keeping promises are universal business assets. 14:13 📱 Personal branding on social media is crucial today for credibility and connections. 16:37 🤝 Networking is about value exchange; even small gestures can lead to significant opportunities. 18:42 🎭 Faking it till you make it might work temporarily, but the market tends to expose inauthenticity, especially today. 19:24 🌟 "Future Truth": declaring future successes is fine, but consistent progress is necessary to uphold those claims in the future. 20:35 📉 Making commitments you can't keep in business can severely damage credibility and relationships in a brutal market. 20:49 🚪 Having an exit plan isn't necessary at the start, but evolving goals and visions over time is crucial for sustained motivation. 21:31 🌌 Beyond money, finding a deeper purpose and mission often emerges during the journey of business development. 22:53 ⏳ Immediate financial success isn't the focus at the outset; long-term visions can take decades to achieve. 23:21 🤝 Establishing upfront agreements and responsibilities in partnerships can prevent future conflicts or uncertainties. 24:29 🛠 Having a clear hierarchy or a designated decision-maker in partnerships can streamline operations and avoid deadlock situations.
