  You mentioned that Napoleon Hill's book is something that you would have used and you
• 0:17
  would have recommended for people that are earlier on in their journey, whatever that may
• 0:21
  be.
• 0:23
  What is something that you rely on now?
• 0:25
  You speak to some of the most incredible people of our time.
• 0:28
  Where do you go to learn?
• 0:30
  I have advisors, I have a whole board, I have people that give me direction, I have people
• 0:36
  that have bounce ideas off of on a daily basis, I have people that I'm held accountable
• 0:40
  to, I have funds of people that have $2 billion who rely on me to make the right decision.
• 0:45
  So many times I'll call them and I'll bounce an idea, so what do you think about this,
• 0:48
  what do you think about that?
• 0:49
  So what if we take this route, what if we take that route, I have several people around
• 0:53
  me that on a monthly basis, I go and process issues with.
• 0:58
  And this has always been the case for me, once I figured this part out, I mean it's
• 1:01
  painting behind me, every day I come to work, I look at this painting behind me.
• 1:05
  That's Milton Friedman, Martin Luther King, the Shah Senna, that's myself, Tupac Lincoln,
• 1:09
  Kennedy, and Einstein, and there's a bunch of different hidden messages in there.
• 1:13
  I had this custom made by a local painter here every time I come to work, I look at these
• 1:18
  guys and I'm thinking, what would he do, what would she do, what is he thinking about?
• 1:23
  How would he handle a situation like this?
• 1:25
  But I have a lot of living mentors who advise me in many different aspects of my life and
• 1:32
  some may give me counsel on marriage, but I'll never take advice from them on business.
• 1:37
  Some may give me counsel on business, but I will never take advice from them on marriage
• 1:40
  that makes sense.
• 1:41
  You don't take advice from somebody on all aspects of your life.
• 1:45
  Some may give me a spiritual message, but I would never take message from them physically
• 1:49
  because they're out of shape.
• 1:50
  Some may give me a physically in shape, address on their advice because they're in shape,
• 1:56
  but I wouldn't take any advice from them on any other aspect of life.
• 1:59
  You have to know who's giving you the advice based on the credit history they have of being
• 2:04
  an expert in that topic and if you do that properly, you'll typically get the right kind
• 2:08
  of counsel.
• 2:09
  Unfortunately, too many people take advice from the wrong people.
• 2:11
  These times, what these times are exploiting is you're realizing whose counsel isn't ever
• 2:19
  green.
• 2:20
  You get a lot of people on social media that are great at saying caches trash, caches
• 2:24
  trash, caches trash, caches trash, caches trash, and people are like, oh, that's right.
• 2:29
  Cash is trash.
• 2:30
  I don't see a single person worldwide saying caches trash right now.
• 2:34
  Everybody wishes they had more cash.
• 2:36
  You can say caches trash when the economy's going up and the economy expansion is 129
• 2:41
  months straight.
• 2:42
  You cannot say caches trash today.
• 2:44
  You can say real estate is the American dream, real estate is the American dream, real estate
• 2:49
  is not the American dream.
• 2:52
  Entrepreneurship and equity only the piece of a company, that's the American dream, not
• 2:56
  real estate.
• 2:57
  It's an element.
• 2:58
  It is not the American dream.
• 3:00
  All these people countered on real estate to create their wealth.
• 3:03
  How many people are doing reports right now?
• 3:04
  There's going to be more people being laid on their payments today in America than ever
• 3:08
  before.
• 3:09
  Yeah, people that say don't study politics.
• 3:12
  I stay away from politics.
• 3:13
  I used to subscribe to that mindset until I read a quote by Plato that says, those who think
• 3:17
  it's foolish to study politics will be governed by fools who do.
• 3:23
  Let me say it one more time.
• 3:24
  Those who think it's foolish to study politics will be governed by fools who do.
• 3:31
  So you think it's foolish, you're not going to study politics.
• 3:34
  A fool is going to study politics.
• 3:36
  He or she will govern you.
• 3:38
  Now you have to do what they tell you to do because their laws dictate the land.
• 3:41
  So if you don't study politics, you may be voting the wrong people in just because you
• 3:44
  like them.
• 3:45
  You don't understand their policy.
• 3:46
  But I like the way he sounds.
• 3:48
  He sounds good.
• 3:49
  So no, you got to question everything and see which people's advice and counsel is evergreen
• 3:54
  and more latch on to that and eliminate 90% of influencers who are just talking and they're
• 4:00
  loudmouthed with no value behind it and you're realizing they have some cracks in their
• 4:05
  philosophies.
• 4:06
  You got to kind of identify them.
• 4:07
  By the way, that means filtering anybody, that includes myself.
• 4:10
  You got to get your own philosophies in place by watching and listening to the right people.
• 4:14
  So that's what I'd say to you.
• 4:16
  How do you find those people?
• 4:17
  What's like, how do you like get rid of all the BS?
• 4:20
  Great question.
• 4:22
  You said you got a girlfriend, so I'm assuming you're not married with kids.
• 4:25
  No, no, no.
• 4:26
  Okay.
• 4:27
  So in life, we get judged on a lot of different things.
• 4:32
  When we were younger, our parents worried about who were our friends, who your friends
• 4:38
  were, you were judged on who you are.
• 4:40
  Are you hang out with those guys?
• 4:42
  Okay.
• 4:43
  All right.
• 4:44
  That says a lot about you.
• 4:45
  You're going to get judged on who you're married.
• 4:48
  You're going to get judged on what career choices you make.
• 4:51
  You're going to get judged on how you take care of your health.
• 4:54
  You're also going to get judged on who you take advice from.
• 4:57
  And at part, there's not a 16 step process on how to do it.
• 5:00
  Some of it is intuition, but a big part of it is you doing your own due diligence
• 5:03
  to realize, is this person just kind of saying this to make money off me or what's this
• 5:09
  person's motive?
• 5:10
  Yeah.
• 5:11
  I always go back to motive.
• 5:12
  What is this person's motive?
• 5:13
  Okay.
• 5:14
  The woman marries me.
• 5:15
  I have money.
• 5:16
  Her motive is she wants to be with somebody that secures that a bad thing.
• 5:20
  No.
• 5:21
  Okay.
• 5:22
  Let me see if there's a deeper reason why she wants to be with me.
• 5:23
  Okay.
• 5:24
  I see the motive here.
• 5:25
  She wants her kids to be safe.
• 5:26
  That's a safe.
• 5:27
  No.
• 5:28
  No.
• 5:29
  But I would want my daughter to think about that as well.
• 5:30
  Yeah.
• 5:31
  If you go back to motive, it reveals a ton.
• 5:34
  Always go back to motive.
• 5:35
  If the motive is just for you to buy another of their products, well, eventually you
• 5:40
  kind of know where the motivation is.
• 5:42
  If the motive is bigger and it's a certain sense of doing something that's a form of persuasion,
• 5:49
  not manipulation because manipulation, I when you lose persuasions, I when you win,
• 5:53
  well, then that's kind of effective.
• 5:55
  I'm good with that.
• 5:56
  But if it's only one sided, I'm not good with that because that's a lot of side of
• 5:59
  victory that only benefits one person.
• 6:01
  It's going to be a big part of your intuition and figuring out ways to filter things out
• 6:04
  and that means studying what their motives are.
• 6:07
  Typically, when you do that, a lot will be revealed.
• 6:09
  I love it.
• 6:10
  Last question, respectful of your time.
• 6:13
  This is a vanilla question, but I love it.
• 6:16
  One question, one factor, one thing that you tell your 20 year old self that would change
• 6:24
  your life for the better.
• 6:27
  Try to be as aligned as possible in life.
• 6:31
  Here's what I mean by alignment.
• 6:34
  I'm all about values and principles.
• 6:36
  Once my life, I live based on my values and principles, I sleep on a soft pillow.
• 6:43
  The moment I might behavior doesn't match the values and principles that I claim I live
• 6:50
  by, that's when you have internal conflicts.
• 6:53
  When you start having internal conflicts, you can't get along with other people and
• 6:58
  get not get along with everybody else has nothing to do with everybody else.
• 7:01
  You're having the biggest battle with yourself.
• 7:03
  But the moment you figure out a way that your behavior matches the values and principles
• 7:07
  that you have subscribed to, you are fulfilled, you're confident, people feel the confidence
• 7:12
  in your eyes and your spirit and the way you move and that creates a following, that creates
• 7:16
  certainty, that brings poise that helps you get to the next level.
• 7:20
  So I kind of tell my own self, figure out a way to be aligned, your behavior matching
• 7:25
  your values and principles and a lot of good things are going to happen in your life.
• 7:28
  Awesome.
• 7:29
  Thank you, man.
• 7:30
  Patrick, how do people contact you, learn more about your attainment if they haven't
• 7:35
  checked it out already?
• 7:36
  Yeah, well, I'll tell you the first thing right now is I've got a book coming out with
• 7:39
  Simon and Schusser that we've been working on for the last five years called Your Next
• 7:42
  Five Moves.
• 7:44
  This is kind of what people have been asking me about again to write.
• 7:49
  This is a five step process for you to identify your next 15 moves.
• 7:53
  You know, the average chess player knows they're one to next three moves, one with three moves,
• 7:58
  throws no five moves, masters no 10 moves, grand masters no 10 or 15 moves.
• 8:02
  In this book, you're going to get the formula on how I identify at any phase of my life.
• 8:08
  My next 10, 15 moves, so by the time you're down reading it, you'll know exactly what your
• 8:11
  next 15 moves are.
• 8:12
  So the title of the book is Your Next Five Moves and you can find that anywhere, it'll
• 8:17
  be launched June 30th, but you can already buy them at Barnes & Noble at Simon and Schusser
• 8:22
  or Amazon.
• 8:23
  Awesome.
• 8:24
  So next, next five move you said, next five moves.
• 8:26
  Your next five moves.
• 8:27
  Your next five moves.
• 8:28
  All right.
• 8:29
  Or at value payment.
• 8:30
  You got it.
• 8:31
  Yep.
• 8:32
  Your website.
• 8:33
