Patrick Bet-David Keynote | Driven 2018

Have you ever worked at a company where the CEO hired someone and after hiring that person they gave them too much authority? The culture was lost in six months. Who has experienced that before? How upset they were. you quit, I'm telling you, you quit, so this person may have an amazing resume but they're not a cultural fit. You can't let that person into your company because they don't fit your culture, which is why a lot of these positions people offer. authority for some people who don't fit the culture disaster disaster situations here number five procedures and steps in each department we talk about that number six developing leaders to help spread the mindset now what are we talking about with developing leaders to help Spreading the mindset mindset is fine, developing leaders want to spread the mindset is exactly what we were talking about with values ​​and principles, the more you spread the mindset to people the more you replace yourself or someone else to become again. mentally strong, that's leadership development, so all this stuff we're talking about here about systems, listen, it could have had a different topic, which is Pat, come and encourage people, you know, come and motivate them, come and do This, let me tell you what excites me.

Topics like this say like that for seventy percent, but the 30 percent that got it are the ones that send me a ton of messages and then I get a message from people flying to Dallas and he comes and says three years ago I started. next value knowing that my business was making $600,000 a year last year we made seventeen point eight million dollars incredible three years ago I was making two hundred thousand dollars I almost put my business up now I'm making twenty eight million dollars for you because everything I did finally Me I realized what it is to be an expert in strategy.

The right person embraces these concepts. The rest is history for you, so let me finish. With two questions to get you thinking, but if you were before I finish with number one, who do you want to be? You know, this is one of the strangest questions. Very few people have the answer to Who do you want to be? Albert appears. to me, hey Pat, you know this is what we're doing, we're building this and I said to Albert, who do you want to be? I don't know if I understand a question, who do you want to be?

Do you want to be? celebrity do you want to be a speaker? Do you want to lead a sales team where you only receive sales every month? Are you earning commissions or want to build a business where one day someone will write you a check for billions of dollars. you want to be I don't know, I don't know who I want to be, so let's talk about it, so we start an instance, if I want to go, the company is going to be a billion dollars, perfect, that's exciting, so we start talking about names of companies and brands and strategies and hiring and systems and protocols and you see their eyes turn like that and I tell myself that anyone weird enough to have their eyes like that for the system you're definitely weird but I'll talk to you because most People go to the systems, they go like this, ready, can we do it?

That's great, Pat, that's amazing. I saw so many people on it because systems are boring guys. This is kind of boring, but it creates well. So who do you want to be? In this room some of you are calm. I'm a pretty good salesman, so I want to be a salesman. I'm a pretty good sales leader. Do I want to be a business owner? I'm a pretty good business owner. I really want to be known by others as a big steal one day myself. You know you're a great CEO when other people say you're great, so you're not when you say everyone can come up and say "I'm the King." Kong, other people say you're a great label, you say it's under here, it's good that you're confident, but no one cares right, other people say maybe you're doing something right, so who do you want to be your in this event?

You heard so many different things. speakers, you know what's one of the best things about the lineup that he's put in, everyone's personality is different, you heard how he does it, yeah, so, you know, I was in this, this woman here, you know she cusses a lot, she is understanding, but you know? cocaine was and darling, psychopathic men are more psychopathic women, I think that's fair, so there is this cognitive bias and some people say I identify with it. I like his style. Some people say that bothers me, man, that guy's fired up, he's sick, right? and then.

Bradley shows up, you know, yeah, hey, so this is what we're doing, you know, hot, smooth, modern Bradley, you know, some model-looking guy shows up and he doesn't sing and then Tim Grover shows up, you learn a word, the F. Word, game over. You have to learn to use the F-bomb 24/7, but this is the point. The only question you are responsible for answering when leaving an event like this is this. It's the only one. What do you want to be? the moment I made this clear, no one could get in my way, you, no one could get in my way, by the way, my shifter like this, my father had his 13th heart attack in what you see, Oh Medical Center, after 5:00, someone knows at five. year UCLA Medical Center I'm going to look I go up to the hospital and they're treating them like garbage and I lose it.

I like you, you better drink, you are my dad and you better do this. They better do that. in 2020 some 23 year old loser completely lost throwing things or bringing security escorted me out of the hospital and I'm just lashing out at him he's my dad you don't do anything to my dancing like you crossed the line at that moment. one person tells me this, listen, if you had money you could get better insurance and get better doctors to take care of your dad, but you didn't pay for this government to pay for this, this is called public health insurance, ooh, fuse, it has reason.

I was. in the car downstairs in my Ford Focus at that moment I lost everything 14 I thought nothing was going well my my girlfriend left me we are about to get married 40 not everything is bad I'm in my car okay tears 30 minutes I'm crying like a baby okay 30 minutes, some of you brag about going clubbing on Thursday ladies night, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I was so committed to x' from day one to Sunday. They know they're in the mood to party if they go clubbing on Tuesday night. Thursday night is a certain Sunday if you're half committed Tuesday you're fully committed I was fully committed I'd go to Vegas 26 times a year What club do you want me to go to with pimps and hoes?

Do you want to go to Dre's? Do you want to go? That already came out, aha, I'm sure all this is what we did. I was permanently banned from Dublin because of something that happened. I could never go back to Dublin. I'm 22 years old. It's who knows Dublin. Anyone knows Dublin. Can. never go to Dublin con I got banned permanently so this isn't the Patrick you know today he was a completely different guy that night in my Ford Focus It was like he came the next day I didn't see a single girl nothing I saw through the people people thought I was mad I'm not mad I completely got it my dad is not going to work at this 99 cent store anymore the Bay David family all these people who would say the David family all the middle eastern divorced parents and dad got divorced , poor little David, he will probably be a bad boy.

I heard he had a 1.8 GPA. He's hanging out with gangsters and went to the army because that's the only thing that says rehab. I said my family. I said, let me simplify something for you. The kids listened I said the world will know this last name I know the pain we went through I know the challenges we went through as a family and we came to America from Iran I saw the language barrier, mom, you were so embarrassed I saw the look Your face, dad, when you were so embarrassed going to meetings and you looked like that in front of people because you were so embarrassed.

I said you'll be very proud of your last name. You will be very proud to have come to the United States. You will be very proud of the sacrifices you made that day. I never recognized old Patrick again. The game ended like this 180. Nobody recognized me. I received the best compliments ever. Pat, you've changed. We do not. I admit you, we miss old Pat. I said I have no desire to spend time with old Pat. I'm in love with him. I don't care about old Pat and he changed so let me simplify this for you if you are in this room you leave the same person this is a waste of an event your money was wasted if you came here just to get motivated and you leave and don't take no major decision about your change of view, this is a waste of an event and by the way, life doesn't get easier as you get older, it just gets harder, so you know this is not a game, the Problems increase when you have children, later the children will get married, more people will die, more problems will arise.

I hope there's more financial trouble in this room tonight, after you hear the next guy that showed up was Cardone, everyone knows him, you're waiting for him to go up after you got hurt. I speak after listening to everyone speak. I hope you realize this. The question is answered in this place and if honestly there are two different ways you know actors call, let me tell you Pat, I'm very committed and this is not like that, you don't need to impress me or anyone like, oh God mine. really resonated with me I don't care, I don't care this is your show tonight, but if you leave tonight changing and you're clear about who you want it to be, a choo-choo train can't stop you and the way people tell you will look differently some members of your family will look you in the eyes and say why you look a little washed up because you know what the one thing is the eyes never lie they never lie because the eyes move before we lie this is why why the best poker players were glasses because not even the best liar in the world knows how to lie to me.

His eyes, did you understand what I just said? This will tell the world where you go next, but I hope the right people here do it. decision by the way every time in a room like this you know how many people are going to do this do you really know how many people are going to do this maybe five of you? I'm not trying to make you all feel good, leave this place oh my goodness what a great guy Patrick is, maybe five of you, this is not an astronomical number here, like I'm not trying to make you feel optimistic by leaving this First place, there are five people, but those five people will be gone and many, many years ago. in a meeting it was a guy named Grant Cardone that yesterday but the impact that he's having it doesn't take all of you to do it five of you will do it.

I just saw one of those five, it's you anyway, Alberto, thank you very much. I'll bring you, we had a great time with you, thank you.
