2025 Business Planning - How to Dominate The Next 4 Years

for me more and more mature I got in business the more I realize I needed to be intentional and having an edge over my peers and half the time the edges to be intentional prepared While most of the people are winging at going to a new year I want to be intentional I want to get ahead of it I want to put a plan together and I want to get as much Intel as I can from others who are ahead of me and maybe have years of experience on me for us to be able to

take our business to the next level so I'm glad you're joining us here tonight this will be a short webinar it's not going to be an hour and a half probably about an hour max hour and 15 minutes and uh we'll go through we got a few different things everybody that's on here will get this PDF in a in in an hour you'll have access to this to get the PDF I'll give you how to get the PDF uh at the end of the presentation but there's a few things I want to suggest you do

um look I read a book called anxious generation Tom we read that book if you remember when we were at the Hampton's that this has become the enemy if you're watching it on this right now my suggestion turn off everything else if you're in your car watching this on your phone listening to this if you're in your office I'd actually like to see some of you guys post a picture and tag me on Instagram to say here's where I'm at Pat Uh but I would suggest you'd close every single your windows whatever else that you

have close all the windows close the door tell your wife babe I need an hour babe or come join me tell your kids hey guys do your homework daddy's not going to be available for another hour or mommy's not going to be available for another hour if you're in West Coast and it's 3:00 you're at work you're working while you're watching this I get it but if you're at somewhere else that you're watching this I suggest you give your full attention because we're going to reveal to you exactly what we did in 2020 when the

election took place and everybody was talking about oh my God I can't what's going on we're going to open up and share with you how much money we've made on YouTube we're going to share with you strategies on what happened with our podcast and all the different companies that we did what were we thinking about why we went through this phase together and uh at the end you'll get the PDF and we'll also give you a challenge on what we're doing next just so you know while we're going through this entire process we start planning

very very early for 2025 if you're someone that has big plans in 2025 and you're very intentional you want to have an edge over your peers I suggest you fully stay with us for an hour so we can go through this together let me give you an idea what I've done today there's a lot of new people that we want to hire with the company I've done we've been doing meetings all day today you met with a few different people that were interviewing today we did the podcast of course my uh adviser from uh Goldman

Sachs flew in I had a two-hour meeting with him today wondering what is going on you know the S&P the last 10 years the 133% the S&P since 1930 has done 11% what's Goldman Sachs position on what you're thinking the S&P is going to do the next three to the next 10 years and he broke it down for me on what they're thinking what their Chief Economist because we're making a lot of big moves right now so having said that let's go through today's presentation of no matter what and the reason why we're calling it

no matter what is to tell you no matter who's the president I'm winning the next four years that's the mindset okay that's why it's called No Matter What so let's go through there are three types of people that are watching this podcast today the first one are the delusional what's the delusional you're either delusionally worried that Trump's the president or you're delusional and you're overly optimistic that everything's going to be perfect both camps are delusional okay when Biden got elected in 2020 I had so many delusional friends that thought it was the end of the

world and they were discouraged not come into the office fired up they kind of took the whole month off took the whole year off and they waited for 2021 they were all oh my God it's going to be so this and so that that's part of the delusional Camp it's not a good camp to be a part of whether it's both positive and you don't you're not paranoid about some things that can go wrong or you're overly negative paranoid and you don't think anything's going to go right then you have the indifferent ah see what's

going to happen ah let's see what's going to take place I don't know I'm kind of watching this let's see what this guy's got to say I mean I watched the podcast and I got the text text or I saw some of the Facebook or Instagram video I'll watch to see what you have to offer Pat I'm indifferent no problem we'll entertain you and you'll get educated as well on some of the stuff that's working for us but then you have the indifferent Camp then you have the enlightened this is a community that's saying listen

I don't know why but I'm ready to light it up I want the next four years for me to be a special four years I want to do what the rest maybe are not willing to do I don't want to wing it anymore I want to play ball or you're like no I've never Winged It pack the last 10 years I've been committed I just want to get a little bit more ideas on what you guys are doing that can help take us to the next level either way it's great to have you on this

hour free webinar with us now outcomes of this webinar few things great companies have failed during great economies that's a fact struggling companies have thrived new companies have thrived in bad economies great company operators great business operators Thrive no matter what the economy is just doesn't matter who it is we're going to thrive and I'll show you some data why that's true on what's going on few things about 2024 and what happened this year so far we had several strikes you guys remember the long shoreman strike boing Hollywood UPS Kaiser fraudulent crime employment data from

the US government that wasn't accurate and then they corrected it what was it two months later or three months later in some cases and they did that several times to the American people yeah and then we were like oh wow so many new jobs being created three months later real small like well that wasn't really fully accurate we were 150,000 jobs off multiple times but they didn't have to fully report it to us because it was 3 months later Trump assassination attempts feels like it was yesterday it was five months ago nfib small business owner

optimism 33 consecutive months below the 50-year average of 98 as of September of 2024 uncertainty index increased by 11 points to 103 the highest recorded level this is 2024 and when you think about the small business optimism it dropped if you look at this here the small business optimism was doing great from 2016 to 2020 and then massive decline of course some of it was Co but some of it was just what the economy was going through so there was not a high level of optimism for this score that we've been measuring since 1986 we

dropped below a 100 for four consecutive years now during the time a lot of people you watch let's just say watch Kramer or you watch MSNBC or you watch some of the business channels right they'll talk about well look what Nvidia is doing look what all these guys are doing and sometimes you'll be confused because Wall Street did good the last four years but there's a big difference between Wall Street and Main Street when we look at Wall Street pandemic driven inequality right Main Street took a hit millions of jobs lost businesses closed down 200,000

businesses in 2021 permanently shut down these are husband and wives these are families that passed the business down to their kids shutting it down permanently they took it we're not not talking about that a lot that was just three years ago by the way Rising Consumer Debt Main Street households turn to uh credit card debt and Loans to manage Bills leading to a record high trillion dollars on credit cards that's just a year ago on top of that skyrocketing prices you got wage stagnation inflation surge investor profit rental struggle eviction wave this is all going

on the last four years now go to Wall Street Stock Market boom new record highs SM P NASDAQ Apple Amazon Microsoft all this stuff that's going on massive corporate profit Venture Capital IP frenzy This Is 2020 and 2021 all the guys that were starting spcs you remember Tom we used to always talk about spcs and if I'm not mistaken we almost did a spec if you remember that yeah we had a full presentation and a guys came out to us and sat down it sounded very very interesting but uh I think you wisely passed on

that one how close were we of start of doing the SP Tom probably about a week they were they were compelling they out by the way we weren't alone how many people were out there maybe people watching were the spa they came and presented to you but there are very very very very few I think it's less than 10% of spcs are actually positive it's true and I remember the me you know when we made the decision that we're not doing it we were in bokeh if you remember that meeting uh sapala all the gavari

all those guys were there afterwards were like let's go out you and I spent time I'm like Tom I don't think we're doing a spec and made the decision collectively and we moved on but a lot of people did government stimulus boost right trying to make sure Wall Street was doing fine and then aside from that additional Main Street struggles that we had at the time credit card we are now at 1.66 trillion of credit card debt the bnpl buy out pay later oh what a great idea buy this and you can pay it later

the delinquency on that was insane right they're showing the fact that the buy not payload Market continued to grow with over 360 million users worldwide this figure expected to grow by to 900 Million by 2027 indicating 157% increase but if you don't pay it back the rates on it is ridiculous and a lot of people couldn't pay it back so magnificent 7 stock during this time was crushing it the Apple the Microsoft the you know Google the Amazon Tesla Nvidia meta all these guys they dominated 2020 Max 7 market cap was $6.8 trillion you know

what the market cap is today $1.9 trillion a 75% total increase over a 4-year period that's a lot of money so Wall Street did Fine Wall Street didn't feel a lot of the challenges and across the whole weighted average return of Max 7 stock across the period exceeded 200% Nvidia up 783 Tesla up 829 did you see musk's network I don't know if I saw musk it was roughly around 3 to 350 billion this is the richest he's ever been we've never had a person worth $300 billion $350 billion and do you think elon's got

a plan with all the things he's doing the next four years he's not happy about what Sam Alman did with open AI he's got some big plans with Twitter X he's got big plans with Tesla with SpaceX what do you think yon's Network's going to be in four years right think about how he's processing the next four years combined revenue stood at approximately $1.4 trillion it's now $2.3 trillion in Revenue in revenue is what we're talking about now November 5th we're doing our deal election night event at our new building we have 2,000 people there

live I don't know what time it was 12:30 12:00 we called it very early in Pennsylvania Georgia a couple other places and North Carolina we called them early we had the math in front of us we didn't take risk we weren't foolish the math said and we called special night that we had that night I'll give you some data you won't believe but what happened Trump won some thought it was going to be Kamala some thought it was going to be Trump trump ends up winning what happened happened since then and today's what today's the

uh 19th election night was what November exactly two weeks cuz it's Tuesday two weeks ago today you're getting ready to find out who's going to be the president two weeks has already gone by what has happened last two weeks here's some of the things that's happened Trump's president-elect stock market is record high migrant Caravan at border dissolved Hamas calls for end to war Bitcoin hits record high Putin ready to end Ukraine war Qatar kicks out Hamas leaders EU will buy gas not Russian gas although there's a war possibly going on today with Ukraine with the

missiles that we heard would bite and this just happened last two days then you have Russia Putin says they'll sell oil in US Dollars zilinsky phones Trump and Ilan New York city mayor ends vouchers for illegals Mexico to stop migrants at US border China wants to work peacefully with us big us companies to move out of China and all of that leads to Future looking bright however however however be fearful when others are greedy and greedy when others are fearful all of us have heard this quote by Warren Buffett before so today there's a bit

of an element of greedy oh my God everything's going to be fantastic everything's going to be great I don't have to do anything the next four years going to be incredible right incredible sometimes believe it or not when it's the other way around we're more prepared we're more intentional when it's you're fearing like what could happen sometimes when everything is good you're a little bit casual I've heard fear sharpens listening and right now not a lot of people are afraid they're a little bit too calm which means it's not good if you're too casual but

it's great for some of you that are the complete opposite of what everybody else is going through now Tom do you remember when four years ago I don't know what it could have been December of 2019 or could have been December of 2020 when I came back from a trip Cancun you and and I went and met at that breakfast spot if you remember right January 11th 2021 January 11th 2021 we left that night that day then we went and had dinner together at Ocean a in Dallas if you remember that dinner me Jen you

and Kim right then we went and did a strategy session together you and I and we sat there I said Tom at this point Biden's president a lot of people are worried they don't know what's going to happen but we have a plan and here's what we want to do we wrote it out and we went and executed it at this time just so you guys know we had come from a year and a half prior to that of trying to sell our business and we did not succeed and the buyers came in it was

probably a year prior to that buyers came in and looked at the company and they said well uh we're not interested in this company without you I said what do you mean says well we talked to all your employees and we realized they told us you're here every day we're not interested in buying a company if you're here every day especially if you don't come with it like whoa that is not good because we don't have real business business that can exist without me we got to do something about this Tom comes in we put

a few things in place okay we saw people worry and panic uh Shadow bans Anar everybody was talking about YouTube is Shadow banning YouTube is giving strikes YouTube is closing the channel YouTube is doing this everybody was in this frenzy about the fact that their YouTube's being taken down and they were all worried decided to improve content we made adjustments we moved to Florida we sold PHP when rates were low you remember when we sold it we sold it June 27th 2022 where were we when we sold it we were at Monaco we thought we'd

be selling it on the um uh 20th the week before but it took a week longer and we had already had the pre-arranged trip for you were recognizing all of your top guys are your amazing U multi office owners great entrepreneurs in their own right from PHP and you had paid for this massive trip and brought all of them to Monaco and we had the close the deal in Monaco well by the way Tom went a week how much sleep did you have that week uh 46 out of I was awake 46 out of 48

hours for the closing window awake 46 out of 48 Hours nine time zones away from a lot of people in the United States the night when we had to go collect all those 54 whatever the number was we're calling people in Puerto Rico waking them up at 3:00 in the morning uh wake up homberto we need a signature what are you talking about all of our all of our shareholders and spousal consents all that but it was part of the plan that we had during this period And when Tom and I had that meeting in

2021 I said Tom we need to hire five new seite Executives that's exactly what we ended up doing and I sat down with my family when I saw in 2020 what was going on uh we decided to move out of Florida that's my son right there if you look at the bottom uh right picture it's my son when Co happened and they did the non-essential the essens remember that whole thing that they were doing all the kids were going to work and like man I don't know where to go parents don't know where to put

their kids my kids were at the office every day we chose to move our family to Florida and we had three kids at the time we ended up having the fort because my wife and I've been married for 15 years we have four kids born in three states each time we moved my wife was pregnant five or six months so our fourth baby Brookland was born while we moved to Florida we were take my kids were required every day at the office to make 52 shots a day of basketball uh read an hour of a

book that I would choose for them and one hour of a what do you call it uh uh documentary they would watch and couple of the schools my kids were going to I was not too happy about it I changed schools and uh kids were at the office constantly while this is going on by the way why am I sharing this with you because sometime when we do business planning all we're thinking about is for ourselves and our business we don't think about there's planning for our kids they're planning for our marriage there's plan planning

for our wife Tom's daughter just got accepted to go to a a school that she's been meaning to go to for a long time and out of 1600 on our SATs we were somewhere in the world I don't know where we were when we got the report of what she got on her SATs and we celebrated together you got 156 out of 1600 because her dream is to one day be assistant manager of a Major League baseball team she loves baseball and so she had to go to a school and Tom would always tell me

this is what she wants to do this is what she wants to do and they would sit there and plan the best schools that you can go to that's about statistics and data one of the best schools is XYZ school and her daugh her his daughter went to that school because they're so intentional about their planning that's family this is me look at the suit I'm wearing by the way you like my business shoes you like my business socks look at my tie my my jacket this is co season baby everybody was on zooms and

as long as you had a suit and a tie on above you you didn't know what person was wearing below it right so strategy meeting with Tom we do that we build a bench we hire five SE Suite Executives within a span of how long time when this took place it was 90 days we did like 60 days of recruitment 90 days of hiring and we had a a full bench behind you we had a full bench behind it and then was at the office every day s days a week Co people were worried 2021

became the greatest year we ever had had in our life we sold the business in June of 2022 when money was cheap and then from there this was the evolution this was our company in Dallas headquarters and then we moved to bokeh then we bought the other building which I'm in right now then we bought another building that became a comedy club a cigar lounge and we have two bars in there we're about to open up a private Cigar Lounge in that place at $59.90 live we're excited about that and then we just recently bought

this property 1 1200 Cypress Creek if you see that it's one of the last properties you can buy on it airport with two hangers where you own the land it's not a land lease with $7 million of brand spanking new upgrades to that place which God knows how many events we've already done but what we're going to be doing with this place is very very exciting but this was all part of the plan again why am I sharing this with you you got to be thinking about this and saying what are my next 515 moves

I'm giving you ours and I'll tell you exactly what we did here in a minute now during 2020 I wanted to start a podcast I was doing valtim in content around business and some interviews but I said I want to start a podcast to talk about Current Events sports politics business economy anything Pat you should never talk about politics I get it even some of my competitors said everything with vitim is going to collapse because the moment you go politics you're going to lose an audience I said nah that's not how it works here's what

I've learned from hanging out with people and I have dinner with they want to talk about sports they want to talk family they want to talk politics they want to talk money they want to talk this kind of stuff they want to debate I said why can't we create a platform that we can have these types of conversations so we did nobody knew about us we had our first live we had 57 people on with us so October 7 I want to give you some numbers here for you to pay attention because this was part

of a strategy we had just started this podcast a few months before election so think about it election night we started this a a few months before that from starting the channel uh I want to see what the numbers are check this out so we started Channel July 8th 2020 and then through July 8th to November 5th the YouTube channel made $2,800 we're becoming rich in a big way she's laughing R is Tom's laughing right now but the numbers I'm giving you at the time November 5th we had 28,300 subscribers by the way for the

last 28 days election November 5th 28 days the channel during that 28 days total got 488,000 views the night ends with election night I told Tom and I told Adam I said 2024 is going to be our year you'll see concurrent viewers that night we had 6,700 people that were with us at the peak now let's go to what happened here now October 7th 2024 to November 5th 2024 that's the same pattern of 28 days the last time four years ago we got 488,000 views this time we got 23 and a half million views that's

just this channel Subs we had 283,000 Subs this alone is now 2.3 million Subs at since we had made $2.8 $2,800 this time around we made $25 million not sponsorship just YouTube AdSense this was part of the strategy pbd podcast went from just being one of five million sub podcasts to being a number on podcast on Apple and on Spotify and competing with some of the other guys that are out there okay so this is Now pbd podcast meanwhile that's what our live was on the left that's me that's Adam that's Tom that's jera that's

Matt sapala that's Tom zener we're sitting there and you'll see in the back Jokers there I got an Armenian and an Assyrian flag I mean that's pretty wild we don't even have a US flag maybe the US flag was on the right that you couldn't see that's four years ago look at the right on the right our podcast YouTube just send out an update that Hollywood Reporter Vanity Fair and a bunch of people wrote about we were the number one live stream world wide that night our Peak we hit 283,000 concurrent viewers is what happened

that night we put a million dollars into that event that you see on the right we had people coming from all over the world we had guys that bought $12,000 tickets coming from Australia I said why do you care about the US election he says all I wanted to do is I wanted to be here because I've been watching this podcast for the last four years I had to be here today I said but you're in Australia do you remember this guy that came from Australia completely NBA players were there MLB players were there people

that bought their own tickets showed up it was the most incredible event that we had just two weeks ago now let's talk value tment value tment was another channel that we had at the time that I wanted to grow value tment in ways we hadn't grown before these are some numbers for us during the same 4-week period October 7 to November 5th value tment at the time the 9.9 million views we had a total of 2.6 million Subs at the time and AD sense from the beginning of value tment 2012 till November 5th 2020 total

we had made 1.8 $1.2 million now go to Value T in the last four weeks October 7th to November 5th same exact pattern we're comparing it it did 126.4 million views 6.2 million Subs at sense $6.4 million that means the last four years just at sense we made $5.2 million just from from this right here by the way here's an interesting stat for you from 2012 to 2023 we got a billion views you're to date in 2024 we have a billion views already this year think about that this whole thing was intentional that we sat

there and we used the the business planning method that we used with the 12 building blocks we sat there and we put it together here's how we're going to get this done four years later those are the results now merch like how you guys I see all this future looks bright merch four years ago when it comes down to merch you know how much merch we sold barely anybody bought our merch my own family wouldn't buy the merch we sold 1,200 units of our merch four years ago you know what else we didn't have four

years ago we didn't even have future looks bright four years ago it was I'm an entrepreneur future looks bik just started two years ago year and a half ago if you think about it this year alone not counting the last two months we've sold 72,000 units 60x in merch merch alone in our eyes will end up being a unicorn probably in the next three to five years we'll be selling a million piece of merch here very soon because we have a specific plan and investment that we made into our merch with the plan of wanting

a million people worldwide sporting future look spride by the way if some of you guys are watching right now saying oh my God you know all he's doing is selling and all this stuff no no this was a plan and we shared it with the world and the right people bought it same thing you need to be doing as well what is your plan do you have it 2028 it's going to be like this we're gonna wake up it's 2028 I'm 46 years old right now just yesterday I got out of the army if you

told me when I got out of the army June of 1999 that I'm going to be 46 years old like this I'd say you're full of it 26 years has gone like this I am 46 okay it's a shocking the fact that the next four years is going to go just as quick so you can sit around be like well I got to watch the game I got to do this but those of you that are tuning in saying are you freaking kidding me this is what they did last four years and by the way

think about what our plans are the next four years we're not going to unveil it today but we'll share with some of the folks on a different thing that's coming up here soon let me continue Tom do you can you share with them what our conversation started with on why we decided to build VT news. a how did this happen well it started with during an election year you we're looking around and we're wondering you know wouldn't it be great if you could figure out like what direction the news is coming at you you you

go to NBC in the morning and you see you know those the you know bip and Bop we know who they are I'm not even going to say their names but we know what direction they're coming from every year they're thrown it from that side we said boy wouldn't it be great if you could understand the news and and see stories that were interesting to you like I want to read about that and understand what direction it came from and be able to maybe select the moderate or the right and and see the perspectives that

were being thrown around we said wait a minute what if we got a bunch of AI Engineers what if we build that algorithm what if we did that what if we pulled all the news stories together and rather than just giving people yet another aggregation Source we give them aggregation with a Viewpoint and an understanding of where it's coming at them and what if we let them select their favorite topics for a subscription and what if we let them now see their own favorite homepage with all of the things that matter to them and what

if we put a incredibly powerful AI engine I remember you saying to me Tom could we have an AI engine that you could ask questions about the news and pull on the news from the news and I said Pat I think we could do that I think it's a great idea and so how many Engineers we have working on this we put it together and it became VT news. a where you go you can subscribe you have this powerful AI engine to search through the news and you can see exactly what direction is coming from

but this was never planned four years ago the ex years ago did not exist four years ago we wanted this for our podcast we build it to share it with the world but we use this product all the time ourselves our crew uses this all the time again but knowing the fact that we wanted to compete in Marketplace as a podcast we said we got to put this together as well another one of those ideas that just came about because the vision was clear let me continue frustration was the mother of invention that's right man

did not exist in 2020 so when you hear us talk about hey man me man me man me what's man well you know seven years ago eight years ago I'm talking to this lawyer and I have a seven minute call with him he builds me for 15 minutes or whatever he build me for I call him I say why are you why are you billing me for this much we only had a 7-minute call I have the proof on my phone here he says Pat I'm a lawyer I said it doesn't roll up this much

he says I said what do you charge by the minute he says we don't charge by the minute it's by minutes roll up I said I want to be able to pay you by the minute says nothing like that exists I said what if an app like that existed where we can pay people by the minute no matter what their background is I come to you we had a conversation at the time we're going through building PHP and bamboo we're like we don't have the time to build it right now 3 years later we start

we introduce man where you can literally ask me a question I can respond back in audio video we can have a 15-minute call together here's what happened to it 2021 there was only 28 completed mans that people paid for it and somebody responded 2022 551 2023 2593 2024 year today this is as of November 1st 36,960 questions have been asked here why is this doing it this way because four years ago we had a plan and so the response rate is higher people get to ask questions I'm paying you you have to answer me because

I'm paying you respecting your time we're on LinkedIn I'm sending all these messages nobody does again this was part of the plan on M you can literally right now ask me or Tom any question we will respond back to you an audio that's the app that did not exist five years ago wasn't even something that we were actively driving in 2020 and right now it's growing exponentially for us let me continue hey David Consulting didn't even exist for you years ago there was no bed David Consulting in 2020 now we got 55 full-time employees within

bed David Consulting that we client we sit down with clients and we do engagements 10,000 clients nearly from 60 plus countries that we do engagements with and we have our flywheel what we do for them Vault conference 2020 2019 we did our first 420 people showed up 2020 covid happened we had to cancel it it was virtual 2021 780 people showed up 2022 1200 2023 24 24 this year 5,000 plus people in attendance at Palm Beach Convention Center it was the most intense place for four days we spent time together but this was part of

the plan four years ago this is not including recordings and all this other stuff and Dwayne der Rock Johnson was with us at this event last year Tom Brady was with us VA conference this is 2019 okay 400 people that's in Dallas this is zoom nobody was there with us cuz it was Co it was shut down 2020 that's us in Diplomat 2022 2023 and then this is 2024 if you were in there you know how that event was like it was something else let me continue books again first was your next five moves then

it was choose your enemies wisely then it was the fiction book every one of these came out intentionally timed because of the plan okay let me go to the next one when you look at this this flywheel is all the businesses that feed each other we didn't have have this four years ago four years ago I'm building an insurance company I'm not even thinking about this four years ago but after election night and Biden winning I sat there and I said we got to put a big plan plan together and the rest is history everything

gradually came about together we knew where we wanted to be in 2024 we went and said we got to bring this person we got to invest into this we got to move over here we got to do all this stuff and throughout the process new ideas came about as well and obviously the business grw today I'm sitting with uh my guy from Goldman sex I said what do you think this whole line holding company is worth right now you gave me a number I'm like very interesting if I told you what's going on over here

behind closed doors most people wouldn't believe it but we knew we wanted to build this four years ago this whole thing I'm sharing with you is what you're going to be doing between now and the next four years it's got nothing to do with what we're doing now few things that is important four years ago we're sitting there and I made a list when we do our business plan there's a certain 12 building blocks I follow with our business plan that we do one of the key things that we write down is who do we

want to build alliances with and we wrote down a list of names okay four years ago I had never met Dana White that relationship was built four years ago had never met Dwayne Johnson that relationship had been built four years ago president Trump and I had never done anything president Trump came and he sat in this chair right here when we did the interview a month ago whatever the timeline was with 40 Secret Service people here two helicopters ambulance fire trucks my own wife and my kids couldn't come and they said hey we know who

you are but president's in here you got to wait a few minutes please park across the street but four years ago it was on the list of people that we want to build alliances with one of the most important things that has to be in your business plan was alliances when I met Tom the first time in 20072 2008 we've known each other now nearly 20 years my pastor said I got to introduce you to the smartest guy in the church I meet him another guy in the church says you know how much that guy

gave to the church we were at this one thing that they were raising the top 25 donors whatever it was he says that guy standing over there gave 660 last year to the church I said what's the big deal about giving $660 to the church he said add three zeros to it I said he gave $660,000 out here that's that guy he never told me this another guy that was there told me this like wow that's that guy yes we had lunch walked away then our wives who were part of the same Bible study together

at the time says you got to you guys we got to introduce the husbands we don't know who they're talking about we meet again I said wow very interesting Tom and I become very close friends we travel I don't know how many places do we travel to together I think we've added up that there was like 52 places in four years and countless and you know early stage we were sharing the hotel and it was just amazing but conversations to like midnight 1:00 a.m. all the time big Thinking by the way let me tell you

how weird time is just so you guys know this to tell you how special of a guy this is we're in Arizona we're at this Inc 5000 conference we had an incredible time we're playing poker it's where we meet mayor maso why we ended up moving to Texas one of the reasons was because he was recruiting us to Frisco but that night everything is over we go to the bar to sit down I don't know what bar we went to I see Tom over there and I see a girl approaching me at the bar I'm

like why is this girl got a smirk on her face and walking up to me at 1:00 in the morning she walks up to me very attractive we start talking she says is that your friend I said yeah says is there any reason why you know your friend and my husband are hugging each other and crying I said what the hell is going on over here it's kind is that's your husband yeah by the way tall goodlooking athlete type of guy I said listen I don't have a clue what's going on over there and then

we see both of them walking to to us with their arms next to each other literally I'm telling you this what time 1:00 in the morning I'm assuming this is and then they come they're still crying they don't even see us as if we don't exist I said hey guys is you guys good says yeah very good I said what just happened right now he says Tom just shared his testimony with me and he shared a gospel with me and I just gave my life to Christ I said at 1:00 in the morning at a

bar yeah but if you only knew my story this guy was a former major league baseball player that is Tom by the way but the point is when I met Tom and all these traveling that we did Tom didn't know this I knew this and it happened three years before even this took place I said I got to recruit Tom to come and be one of my Executives in the company I knew that he didn't know that one I couldn't afford him three years prior to that because it was 2011 but I know could I

could eventually afford him and when we sat down the interview was done in a H1 yellow Hummer outside of a small sushi place Hills California like should I share with them how this whole thing took came about so we're sitting there talking and I'm like Tom and I I don't know if I can afford you what what is the salary Tom gives me the number like we're 12T away from each other cuz the hum is the size of an apartment he he says listen but that's me I mean that's what I got to do if

you want me to come here I just sold one of his businesses he was a free agent for the first time in a long time I said yes and I'm like Tom I know you don't see how much money can we can make in insurance I said would you be okay if I log into my uh Chase account so you can see how much money we made last mon you can go through some he says yeah sure go ahead and do that I log into Chase I hand him the phone he sees the deposits for

the last 30 days he says you know honestly I think my salary needs to be a little bit higher we had a funny moment together but Tom came in that's 2011 when I knew I wanted to recruit him but it took me three years until I recruited him he came became the president of my insurance company raised the first million raiseed the second 10 million and then without him we don't sell the business he was a very important Alliance I wanted to recruit who's on your list of people that you want to recruit I have

certain names I want to build the next four years who's yours number one is Alliance number two is enable I I looked on ways on how I can enable myself and others okay to take the business to the next level very important I did not want to have any associations that could help us with this who can enable us what relationship can enable us to go to the next level I learned in life you're one relationship away from your life changing one one great relationship in your life that believes in you and you're loyal to

them your life could change one that's that's all it takes one relationship Dana White nobody want to let him UFC go anywhere and fight Dana White goes and calls Trump trump says come and do your fights over here he does look at their relationship together take Trump out of that relationship where's UFC today we don't know one relationship think about one relationship with it to them that one relationship could be Dana to Conor Dana to others who's that person that can enable you that relationship again that you want to pursue number three sequencing sequencing is

steps to go through the process what do I do first then what do I do next I knew I wanted to have Tom come on board I knew I want a certain alliances that I wanted to build by the way 2024 election what did Trump do he buildt a relationship with Tucker that he had Tucker goes with Elon on X we made a $100 million offer to Tucker he said no to us he goes to Elon Tucker Elon and Trump build an alliance Viv gets in there Tulsi gets in there RF Kennedy gets in there

look what happened election night these are all allian that took place same way they built it you got to do it as well so sequencing is something Tom we talk a lot about exactly and making sure that there are True Believers walking along with you in that sequencing you get the sequencing right with the people that are true believers in your vision and now you're going to get the momentum and you're going to be driving so for you if you're sitting there think about if you're playing Monopoly the game okay what do you want to

buy first you know how some people playing they don't buy anything they're just trying to go past school so you get cash is that the right sequencing you know some people if you buy you buy Vermont for 100 bucks I'll come in and I'm my dice I'm like hey you bought that for 100 bucks will you sell it for 200 I just yeah boom now I rolled the dice and I land on the other one now I got two Blues in one turn sequencing this is all sequencing hey I'm GNA have all the uh you

know I'm going to hold this green North Carolina because I'm going to negotiate and trade it with you for Marvin because I'm going to have all the yellow in that corner cuz it's 150 per house and it's more rent than the one on the Kentucky and Illinois that's what everything is sequencing just like it is in a video game in in Monopoly it is for the next four years as well so next urgency moving with urgency we're doing this business planning no matter what webinar what is today's date the 19th by the way who the

hell is talking about business planning right now most people are not even thinking about business planning till December 29th 30th and December 31st they they make some New Year resolution some people wake up on the first time they do it you're on this webinar how many people are on the webinar right I'm willing to bet out of everybody that signed up probably only 20% of them are on how come the other guys didn't get on they're not thinking about this I still got a lot of time till 2025 urgency most people lack the urgency of

coming out self-aware knowing what you're good at and what you're not good at I'm interviewing a guy today he asked me a very interesting question says what are your biggest challenges of building a company when you go through I said I got a left brain side I got a right brain side I love Mt but I'm also creative but I'm self-aware of what areas I do well and what areas I need to rely on my executive to to get it done for you self-aware of yourself is it procrastination is it distraction is it the fact

that you get stuck on the phone going through stories and you're stuck for 45 minutes to an hour is it laziness is it sleeping in is it smoking weed is it doing too much drugs is it you drink a lot is it you got a gambling habit nobody knows about is it you're too sensitive if somebody rejects you once you're like oh my God that's not fair is that what it is what is you you know it though I know me and I've known me over the years and I've had to address it every single

time even me right now for the next four years I'm self what I need the next four years you ought to be as well that's a big part of it as you're going through it Tom taught me one of the biggest lessons in life I couldn't believe when he time me this he was 52 he told me Pat it took me 52 years to realize I make more money where I'm the number two in the company than number one I said what who says something like that he says I'm a better entrepreneur if there's a

vision that I'm going I'm going to be able to be execute that and be a better Co helping that company then the CEO will be think about being aware of that and then coming in every business we build Tom's been a part of it it doesn't happen without Tom that's because he's self-aware next ultr proactive don't wait another day or a week or whatever I'm making a decision today I'm taking action today they're waiting I'm doing it right now I got to go figure this thing out go today and do don't wait till tomorrow I

used to always tell my guys the now mentality not the tomorrow mentality use the word tomorrow less times moving forward babe we'll do it tomorrow guys let's follow up tomorrow no replace tomorrow if you use tomorrow the word a th000 times this year next year minimize it to 500 if you use tomorrow be selective use now I'm not waiting let's address it now can we figure that now we just hired a new CTO that's with us one of the thing I love about this guy you know I'm talking about Tom how is you when something

that needs to happen and somebody says well we can get this done by Monday we can get it done by tomorrow what does he do when it's really really urgent he is as steady as when he's just sitting there planning with a blank sheet of paper and he drives the people effectively and it gets done yeah and it's now we we'll do it right now it's not a big deal we'll take the next two hours and get it done now guys we got it give us a couple hours we'll get back to you the now

mentality right if you got big plans in 2025 or you want to be in 2028 that's the now mentality new way of thinking so here's the key one I said new way of thinking so you know uh uh my adviser and I are sitting down together and I told him I said look here's the vision of what we're building I show them the entire flywheel I said the vision is for us to hit this number by this time I said my goal and how you can help me is instead of doing this in 20 years

is by doing it in 10 years and instead of doing the goal that we have for 5 years to do it in 5 years and the goal that we have in five years I'd like to do it in two and a half years I said if you are able to help me accelerate this process guess what you make more money because that money is going to be managed by somebody what happens to yours says no I totally get it I said whatever else you're doing another thing I want you to consider is who does Pat

need to meet next it could be an investor it could be a talent it could be a technology expert it could be somebody that was a big CEO 20 years ago that's been retired that's worth eight billion but would be a good adviser and mentor to me I said help me find those guys and build those relationships like you know I never thought about it that way goes away executes every single time we went to New York build some relationships because of what he did new way of thinking your way of thinking if you look

wherever you are right now with your job whether you're a content creator your podcast whether it's YouTube whether it's your weight whether it's your marriage whether it's your kids whether it's your confidence whether it's your business whether it's your income whether it's your savings whether it's whatever you got you are way you are today because of the way you think today what new way of thinking do you need then the question becomes how do you get that new way of thinking one of the ways that worked for me to get new way of thinking is

by being part of different strategy sessions and masterminds Tom many years ago introduced me to this thing called vistage we used to sit in vistage and it was four things everybody had to say do you remember that what was one is your personal life one is your health one is business and what was the other one there was one other one it's like um crisis if you're going through something correct and how do I and how do I yeah and I'll never forget people would go up and was very private people would go up and

say health I'm a seven right now personal life I'm a one our marriag is and shambles business is a nine and my how do I is how do I fix my marriage I was like Whoa man that's pretty wild that you remember these these steps remember some of the ones that was very and of course everybody's keeping it to each other but it was way of thinking I saw one guy right there says hey if I don't get a half a million dollars in the next uh in the next two weeks I'm going to have

to shut down the business the head guy John goes out there makes two phone calls asks the guy to step out go sits down with the other guy gets him half a million dollars within whatever half a million dollar term shet if you remember that because the guy needed a half a million dollars of course it was expensive money but he got a form like this and it was gone I'm like wow deals get done this quickly I'm 30 years old at the time sitting in this room like wow my way of thinking it's like

man all this stuff takes no boom boom boom and that was by being part of different strategy sessions and masterminds if you're not part of a mastermind to see how other people process issues do whatever you can to find one that fits you to help you think in a new way especially since you have new goals next wartime and peace time Tom if you were to break down the different way to approach a wartime which was four years ago versus a different way to approach peace time which right now some people may think the next

four years are going to be peace time what is the different approach to take with wartime and peace time well wartime don't panic because there's a lot of things you do well and there's a lot of things you've done well since the beginning you need to focus on the strengths you have and you need to be very very attuned to the weaknesses you have and be very objective and don't be cocky you can't be cocky and you have to be confident you have to be paranoid Andy Grove wrote a book called only the paranoids survive

and I would argue that it's almost more important to be Paran in peace time cuz that's when you be can become flabby and weak and complacent and your team and fall over but during wartime focus on your strength do a great SWAT analysis objectively going through it and I think you should prepare every day as as if it's wartime but when War Time's Got the greatest uncertainty that's when you'll find out the people that are truly with you on your team where you've got gaps in people that you need to change that's the way I

approach it I love it and I I agree with it by the way again remember at the end everyone's going to get the PDF here stick around to find out how to get it uh next pivot and adjustments okay there's a lot of pivots and adjustments we have to make there's a lot of things that is not going to go your way there are some things that are not going to go your way in your personal life I had a conversation with my two kids the other day were walking the dogs late at night that's

when we sit down have a conversation for whatever reason both of my boys like to walk around in their briefs and and and and just flipflops and my oldest son is a big fan of Crocs and flip flaps and you want to know this I don't like Crocs and everyone in my house loves Crocs I don't understand Crocs mentally I haven't yet bought into the Crocs concept but I digress let me come back here we need a Croc tariff we need a Croc tariff right so we're walking and we're talking about dreams and after they're

dreaming they're getting excited I said okay you guys are excited about your dreams yes I said let me give you some part of it I said so what are you going to do if your girl breaks up with you and goes with another guy but what are you going to do if you go through possible injury something something happens in our family someone's no longer with us you know there's a setback in school there's a setback with sports there's some kind of a setback something doesn't go your way coach doesn't pick you for certain tournament

somebody else starts how are you going to handle that how are you going to handle those things how will you adjust and pivot accordingly with that my son right now went to a tournament with him in Orlando and I saw this one compete team compete I could not believe how great they were and I sat there and talked to one of the parents who some was number 10 for 2 hours I'm talking to this parent we got back in a car we had a three and a half hour drive back from Sarasota and I said

yeah this is I said do you want to play professional yeah I said this strategy is not going to work we made massive adjustments and pivots the strategy of helping my son the business plan for him on his dreams becoming a reality we made a massive pivot and adjustment because that strategy simply wasn't going to work and I talked to him about it he bought into it I went and recruited the three people that I needed we started working on it he gamees changed he's a number two leading scorer on the team and he had

his first hattrick uh with this a team that he's competing with we've never had him do that and his left is so strong he scored a corner that was being kicked while the ball is in the air kicks it with the left beautiful goes in confidence up because the strategy changed I I was like we're not going to get there just practice and we have to train better in business you're going to also have to make some pivots and adjustments not get discouraged cuz some's going to happen they're going to get discouraged during this time

anticipate what can you anticipate we sit there and anticipate what's what's going to happen the next few years you know what's going to happen the next four years what are some things that could happen with Trump you think everyone's going to just sit there and allow him to do everything he wants to do no you think everyone that's getting a job run is going to stay that way what do you think is going to happen you know what Goldman Sachs is saying the s&p500 is going to do the next 10 years they said the last

10 years it did 13% since 1930 it did 11% but they're estimating the next 10 years probably going to do 3 to six per. I said three to 6% he said yes I said' why 3 to 6% he said they're worried that money's not going to be cheap the moment Trump won interest rates went up a little bit because they were worried something's going to happen with inflation so you're not just sitting there like okay if money gets more expensive what do we do sitting there today I went through the interest rates on everything all

the properties we bought some cash some financing what's the interest on this what's the interest on it that's the meeting I had five hours ago six hours ago everything is anticipate to see what direction the Market's going to go so you're ready for it hiring family marriage wedding all of that is an I'm about to have a kid I'm having my first kid I know a lot of people around me right now they're expecting their first kid some of them just had it what's going to happen to me financially what do I have to get

ready for what am I going to teach am I going to be ready for it what is it going to look like anticipation then it's the risk what level of risk are you willing to take just 6 weeks ago a prop property we're looking at we sat there during auction they they said what's the LLC call 1200 LLC can you please un uh uh show us camera Tom's sitting right there says yes I'm Tom ellor you remember this yeah because you know what you don't want you don't want your identity known if you're doing these

auctions and that's the way to do it and we sat there and we made the risk of buying a property on the airport $25.2 million cash boom right there you have to show the money within a week and a half we said we're good we're taking this you're going to have to take some risks you're going to have to put some resources maybe sometimes you're going to hire more maybe sometimes you're going to take some risk where you're going to like whoa I want to take this new promotion within the company man I'm a little

worried can I really do do it or not I I want to go out there and do XYZ what if this happens what if that happens some of it could be investment some of it could be money some of it could be different things but the risk is going to be involved next one malleable learning how to adjust learning how to you know learn from your mistakes you made in a past because you're going to make some of those mistakes next one eliminating distractions and dead weight every year this is going to sound weird I

make a list of certain people in my life friends family co-workers this person is not going to make it to 2025 why they're typically negative condescending small thinking difficult to be around they're selfish it's about all themselves and they suck the energy out of the room we hired uh uh Ritz Carlton what was it two months ago to come and teach our guys how to have better uh uh customer service with our employees and better engagement with our employees and identify who to invest money into who not to what do they say there's three different

types of people in every company remember that one was a superstar two was what just there and three was caves constantly against virtually everything and they said 177% of the company is cave at Ritz our goal is to eliminate the caves that we have Ritz who taught Apple about customer service they get rid of 17% of their employees every year that are caves yep why because it's dead weight and distractions you got to get rid of them you got to move on maybe they going to be happy at a different company but not with you

so every year you got to eliminate some distractions by the way if you're part of a very competitive badminton League okay that takes 22 hours of your week I highly doubt many of you play badminton but some of us in Europe played badminton in America most people don't even know what badminton is it could be fantasy football it could be video games it could be you're stuck watching these when people tell me you should watch the entire 13th season of XYZ show 13 Seasons go binge on that how many how many you know episodes each

season oh it's only 11 I said you realize 13 time 11 is what is it 141 or something 144 you want me to watch a a 145h hour movie I'm not doing that I have a hard time watching a two-hour movie you able to watch 145 hour movie I can't do 140 what if you fully got Focus the next four years 2003 I said I'm no longer listening to the radio it doesn't matter today 03 it did last time I listened to the radio was 03 moving for with everything in my car was personal development

audiobooks I limited all my distractions I didn't want to listen to hit him up anymore it was completely different I don't want to listen to certain musics Bone Thugs and Harmony or whatever I don't want to listen to I'm like nope I'm done it's all I'm going to shape this because I need a new way of thinking I want a new way of thinking I want to be a better leader I want to be able to step up and have certain things become a reality in my life I need to think in a new way

especially if you grew up in a poor family 1.8 GPA dad's a cashier at a 99 Cent Store mother runs out of money goes back to Iran we are low level of thinking I've never lived in a house before we've never known what it is to live in an apartment complex with a swimming pool the only swimming pool we could go to was glendel high school swimming pool that we would have to jump the gate sneak in and then the cop chases up we jump the gate again leave it's the only pool we had we

didn't have a swimming pool none of my friends lived in an apartment complex with AOL you think if I just think with my identity I'm going to be a leader that no had to eliminate distractions it's not easy to do but you got to do it and then the last one that I'll put here which uh is probably the most important one is learning how to write the proper business plan I used to write business plans until I learned I need to write a business plan and a life plan we put certain things together I

wrote a book specifically about business planning okay and once a year I decided to host an event called a business planning workshop why because since 21 years old I've been doing business plan it used to be just a page then I would sit there and do business plans for 50 other people every year then it became a 100 people then it became 500 people every year I would be doing business plans with folks and then my business plans got more clear and I'll never forget one time I'll never forget this one time I wrote a

business plan you ever wrote A business plan where you couldn't read it enough times the more you would read it you would get excited you know what I'm talking about I know exactly what you're talking about I wrote this business plan and I laminated of front and back it's like an e page business plan and I just couldn't stop reading it it was with me everywhere I had my planner pad and it was always in there with me and I I had it everywhere in the shower laminated front and back I'd be in the shower

I'm looking at this like oh my God here's what we're going to be doing and that's what's gonna if I do this my dad's it was so exciting until you experience writing a business plan proper way you know that feeling so my suggestion to you while everybody else if you're still here with us most people are not thinking business plans they're going to go into a new year business as usual no new habits no new way of thinking no new urgency no investments in it's always oh it's the government's fault it's my company's fault it's

my boss's fault the clients are idiots it's my employees they're not thinking right it's my sales Guys these guys are this blaming everybody except the guy here and when you do a plan you sit there and say wow I can improve in these areas and what does it look like if I do so what are we going with this couple things business planning most people don't have a method on how to write it with me having done as many business plans as as I've done finally with penguin you know penguin portfolio I sat down with

them they said hey Patrick we want you to write a book on business plan we went back and forth wrote it came out last year and once a year like I was telling you I host an event specifically for business planning however November 2028 four years from now can you visualize where you you'll be how old are you right now I'm 46 you know how old I'm going to be in November 2028 I'm going to be 50 I'm going to be 50 I already had a conversation with a guy that was here last week about
