Pat, I love your videos. I recently discovered you on my own journey to self-improvement. I can't stop watching and learning from you, and I can't wait to put my knowledge to good use. I like your philanthropist attitude towards the end there about unemployment. Have a good day and keep up the work your doing.

Patrick - I discovered you literally last week - totally obsessed with your videos. I feel like I am getting my PHD in entrepreneurship and at the perfect moment in my life and career. Everything you say speaks to me 100% and I am so fired up. I am aiming for Broadway and will send you an invitation to opening night...!

Thank you Pat... I am at that phase and not only has this helped me answer all the questions, but it has also helped me identify certain blind spots that I had been overlooking.

Awesome video. Great content, and you can tell it comes from thought, experience and wisdom, not just reciting lists pulled from the internet. I’m not planning to raise money right now, but the mindset and perspective from this video was still instructive. Would recommend.

The Timing! You released this video as I am deciding to expand my start-up and find some investors. Now I have to reconsider some things. Thanks, Pat. Good luck Valuetainers. Make the dreams a reality.

I'm in college right now. I love studying but I get bored because of the school system. After a few months I decided to take entrepreneurship as an extra class. There's only people in this class who think the same as me and I feel like I'm getting closer to finally making the leap.

Thank you for sharing this information and your thoughts on them. I really appreciate it. Great video!

One of the best video`s you`ve done Patrick! Took a lot of notes. Liked especially the end message - I`m all for people being more self sufficient, even if it is still a big challenge for me, having just survived the first year building a buisness from scratch, - I realize from your video what I can do to get hold of investors, and what to do. Great!.
it` s what I beleive in.
Developing tomorrow for the future of mankind.

Great video! Question: How do you protect your idea when you want to ask a 3rd party for money? What if they take it and implement it without you through someone else they know?

Thanks Pat. This is EXACTLY what I needed to start this year.
