    1. Not tracking your business 2. Not running on a system 3. Not having a predictable schedule 4. You're too cheap 5. Not having protocols for everything 6. No deadlines 7. Rarely hitting goals 8. You react instead of initiate/lack of urgency 9. Not knowing what you want 10. No desire to want to learn. Most importantly: don't be lazy!

      I totally agree and off course we can improve 👍 but one step at a time cause when everything rely on you we get over loaded 🧐 create a system to those who help you to learn and know what to do..... takes time 🤔 and patience......

      +Ranjit Singh Not many things are as exciting as finding leaks in your business. It just means growth is around the corner if you're willing to discipline yourself and implement these concepts.

  • @Peteristrate

    Thanks for the mention, Pat.
    I was frustrated because all I could find on the Internet was just self-help motivational bs and sweet/comforting lies.
    There are so few men of action, while I was, actually, looking for real advice, numbers, techniques and strategies from men with experience in all that.
    And I found you.
    p.s.: by the way, your book, "Doing the impossible", just arrived in the mailbox today. Can't wait to dive into it :)

      100% agree! Every time I look through the book selections in the Business section of most bookstores, 98% of it self-help feel good crap. I want MATH! Give me business math! Give me systems! I want strategy to be able to actually get the data and figure out my break even analysis as accurately as I can without just "guessing" on a profit goal. How am I going to actually calculate my marginal cost vs marginal revenue using real world techniques?

    Hi Patrick!
    I started my business 2 years ago and now I have a team of 17 people. I understand creating of system and tracking and measuring everything. But when I saw this video, you stressed so much on tracking everything and creating systems that I drew the entire map of my business again and drilled down as to what else I can track so that we can scale the business and improve the way we provide service to our clients.
    In this process of thinking, I created a Project Tracking Excel that is going to really be very very helpful to manage my business better and help me automate more things in business. So, I really want to thank you for giving such amazing content. Thank you very much!

    One of your best videos yet man. I was guilty of a lot of these on my first business. On my second business, it ultimately failed with me still letting a few of these bad habits linger. On my third venture now and coming at it from an entirely different angle. Not repeating my mistakes and moving to set myself up for success. Watching your videos refreshes my goals and I love where my mindset is at. Thanks Pat, love seeing a local DFW succeed while being humble.

I was winging it in my profession and I failed miserably, now I'm implementing a system and trying to shift my mindset to be a better entrepreneur, and your content actually stopped me from quitting and i thank you for that.

    Pat, thanks for this information. I've had to face the facts that I've been winging it, all the while calling myself an entrepreneur. I'm getting myself and my business up to speed now and because of posts like yours, I'm seeing that being a true entrepreneur is possible, if I will bear down and focus and do the due diligence in operating a business. Posts like yours helps me see what needs to be done. I can't say it enough, thank you tremendously for that.

    Hello PBD. It would be great if you could make a short video (or long, based on your preference about the topic & about how you prefer to approach it) about "How To Establish a System as an Entrepreneur". I believe many people (including myself) would appreciate you defining what a system is (in the context of business), how to establish & stick to one, and how it differs from the Company Culture & Business Plan. (subjects you have already covered). Thank you for the great content!
