Hey Patrick, again a great video! Just as a constructive correction: EBITDA stands for Earning Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization. What you mentioned was slightly different. But as I said, this is again a great video for which I took notes and can apply to my business.
Valuetainment/PBD: May you do a video on 15 ways to increase your individual & personal value ? ... Thanks !
Value personified. This content is priceless. Thank you Mr PBD
Just when I think I can't be more in awe at Pat's knowledge he impresses me once again.
Systems was a really good point. Very good advice that will def help

Whether you have an existing
business or are considering starting a business, Michael Gerber in the book,
The eMyth, suggests the only reason to build a business is to sell it.
Sadly, many business owners wait too
long to prepare the business and they do not have enough time to maximize the
sale price of the business; some never plan to sell and others simply get
caught off guard by an unexpected illness or unfortunate event.
To help you not get caught off
guard, it is best to start as soon as possible to prepare your business. It is
never too early.
Here are a few tips to help you
increase the value of your business over the next 24 to 36 months.
1. Clean up your books. With "good" accountants, you are likely writing
off much more than just the required expenses of the business. The value of the
business is directly linked to the profitability of the business. If you have
minimized your profitability to decrease your tax burden, you will not maximize
your selling price. To maximize your selling price, 3-4 years before you
want to sell, start optimizing your business to maximize your profit.
This alone can greatly increase the what your business will be worth to a
buyer.
2. Note abnormalities that will be adjusted for. When a professional values your business, they will look
to "normalize" your books, called "recasting." During this
process anything that was not normal will be removed and this will increase the
profitability of your business. For example, if you owned a restaurant and had
to replace the hood system. This cost would be removed because it is not
"normal" and does not happen every year. Therefore, removing it would
increase the profitability of your business.
3. Replace yourself and family
members with staff. If you have family members working in the business,
start to replace each one with non-related staff. When a buyer looks at your
business, the business has less value and is riskier if there will be a mass
exodus at the time of the purchase. Slowly, replace each family member with a
staff member that would stay with the business after the purchase.
4. Secure key employees. You
will also want to create an employee retention program to secure employees that
are critical to operations. A new owner will feel more comfortable knowing the
critical employees are incentivized to stay with the business after the
purchase and this will make the business less risky and more valuable.
5. Design your business on
systems. Every major task in your business should be documented and
systematized. Although your current staff knows exactly what to do, for the
buyer, having systems in place assures him or her that the business will run
without you. Start by documenting the critical functions and then over time
document all functions of the business. This task is time-consuming, but will
make a huge difference in the sales price of your business.
6. Have a growth plan. Now is
the time to ramp up your marketing, sharpen your sales team and make sure you
have a solid plan for growth. Buyers pay more for growing flourishing
businesses than ones that are stagnant. Now is the time to make your business
look the best it's ever looked.
By using these tips, you can drastically increase the value of your business and increase your sales price as well as sell the business faster.
profit is short time u earn money fast,instant (sales man mentality)
value is long time,delayed gratification (ceo mentality)
to increase value
1technology (makes things more efficent)
2focus(focus on selling business increase intention on things that matter)
3systems(makes life easier everything is the same for each customer)like steps 1 2 3 4 5
4strategic partners( good partners can bring a new part of business u couldnt bring in)
5 recurring revenue(produces highest multiples so keep the stuff that sales and makes most)
6supporting cast(invest in peoe that care about value of busines such as give them cruise tickets)supports loyalty
7data(increases value of business ex contact info.
8EBITDA(Earning Before Income Taxation Depreciation Amorization)basically operation performance of company vs NEED (need is better than ebitda because if u have a need u wil earn more and then have a better system than a company just focusing on systems)
9 subscribership and distrubution
(use customers to make more sales)
10 stay hands on(dont let go of business) and(know youre business to increase value)
■the more you focus on money youre FLAT■
■the more u focus on value it GROWS EXPONENTIALLY■
great vid
Thank you for showing us how to increase value.
Currently starting up my own business and came up on Valuetainment while doing research for tips and stuff I know I would never think about. Replaced all of my no brain Netflix shows for educational video's like this since they are of way more value than all of the school courses I've ever had. Well they did teach me some stuff I'm sure, but education based on experience from entrepreneurs who know what they are doing is in my opinion, the way to become a successful business owner.
Thank you & keep it up. I'm sure you will inspire and help a lot of other people who haven't yet came upon this channel.

You the man. I enjoy how you take control through your voice alone. You taught me lots of great skills. I’m broke at the moment, but rich in knowledge, I look forward to opening business in the future and add value to lives of others. Appreciate your channel.
Pat you are truly a great person
1mil subs is totally real for this channel , thought it's a long shot from the beginning but the way it grows and with more people becoming interested it is totally possible. Good work guys keep it up.
May God bless you Patrick. You have changed my life. bizness, fitness. and marriage. Blessings from Nigeria, Africa
Hi Patrick, can you explain more about strategic partners? Who are strategic partners and how to get strategic partners? Thanks!
Strategic partnership is an arrangement between two companies or organizations to help each other or work together, to make it easier for each of them to achieve the thing they want to achieve: A way of breaking into the market would be to form a strategic partnership with a large player that is already successful in the sector.
Thanks Hava!
Your welcome. :)
do you mean two companies that are in the same field or in a related field ?? such as a healthy food restaurant and a GYM for example....
Good question! Yes, both options are possible. One focuses on team work and the other on opposing strength. It's all about masterminding and synergising...
I mostly agree with you and I would also add one important point:
Minimize human labor as much as possible and replace it with systems, machines and processes.
For instance, instead of a secretary I use an information system and through automatization I need one less person.
One of your best videos
Thanks Pat for the great values you are always sharing. For this video, as a small startup, the 2 big points we were missing are the focus (we'll go through the book "built to sell" to learn more about it ) and putting in place systems in all areas of of our business. Thank you again.
That lion grunt at the beginning makes me hungry. 😂😂
That pillow catch was LEGIT!!
I look forward every Friday to hearing from him!
I always like your videos before I start watching it. because I already know it will be good!!
Love you Pat and Valuetainment
One of my favorite videos. Needed this right at this time! Thanks PBD.
PBD, you are the man. Have a safe trip and thanks for your amazing videos !
I always get best best business school in this channel despite being tooo far from you brother..I'm from Tanzania. Thank you so much!
#1 sneaky secret I have used to grow the business that I mange, but don't own. I was sent to a conference by my business, and one of the seminars was by a consultant. I listened to what they had to say, then looked up the examples they provided and copied what was applicable to our business. No lie, our profits went up 398% in the year. The seminar was only named "Raise your profits 30-57% in one year" so they did pretty good.
So good pat. ... another book in the making. Very rich content . The art is 'when' let go. And rather than becoming the CEO , when other begin to call you that , it's definitely a sign . Keep em coming A+ valuetainment
very valuable !! thanks Pat
Loved the video Patrick, really good information!
Pat your info is so powerful. I just started my company 2 years ago. Im growing slowly but Im still trying to do almost everything by myself. THERES NO SYSTEM. I guess im still in the research and development stage. Thanks for the tips.
glad I took a sick day from school to work on my business #notificationsquad

Hi patric. please do a video on differences between men and women psychology in business, and more specifically how to be successful in an industry that is dominated mostly by the opposite sex.
thank you so much for always bringing useful values to us
Thank for the tips
fantastic episode pat. shared
Could you do a follow up video going more into depth on topics like focus, systems, and strategic partners so you can create a better template for entrepreneurs? With the business I am going to start, strategic partners, focus, and systems are biggest hurdles.
Right on time..

Good vid, but so everyone knows, the "I" in "EBITDA" is "Interest" not "Income" ;-)

I see many people take money out of business, I decided not to take money out for 1 year to grow my business.
Great content ! Thank You Pat ! ;)
Patrick, you lost me on the EBITDA vs. need, and the detailed notes said go to the video. can you please explain this?

WAY #1: WATCH PATRICK BET-DAVID daily!!!
hey patrick i had a question mainly for my brother. My brother is the best sales person i have ever met in my life, he's 30 years old and working at frys in alpharetta which is kind of like a best buy or what used to be circuit city. within just a few months he became a manager of sales. Now here's the problem he has a felony from his past now he has a little boy and girl his life has done a complete 180. and i was curious if you think he would have a chance getting a job with a company like php or something in the financial industry after knowing his record?
Jason Rodriguez your brother can expunge their conviction after a specific period of time
nice

What happened to the Biz Doc????!!!
I hope everyone has a great day!
From a small CZcamsr with almost 1K! :)
My profits are low, but value is rising constantly. I hope profits will follow very soon but I'm afraid I'm doing something wrong on some steps.
my profits are high but the value is lacking. Stick to the value! it will pay off longterm as long as you see growth! cheers :)
What the hell was in that pillow Pat? :D
how do I increase my value if I'm going in real estate?
shubham sagar Im going to give u advice on each tip he gave us keep in mind this is my opinion about it
1have a way to contact customers online like build a website
2 focus dont be lazy
3 have a good website in place
4 maybe work with other people the sell realestate nearby so u can work together to get best deal for customer
5 sell/buy houses that sell the most
6spend time with partners buy them stuff etc.
7have data on each customer its valuable and if u use it it shows that u care example u ask how their kid is doing
8 good houses is better than the layout of youre website
9 have special deals for loyal customers
10 dont be lazy always try to improve
good luck
Joseph Hemingway thanks Sir. I really appreciate your help and may I ask, I'm just about to start into this business,I literally have no funds with me and my dad has told me that he's not going to help in finical requirements. I would like to know your perspective on this state. I want to know what you have done if you were in my place?
plus I'd like to know, do you think that it's a better idea to start a small business of some sort like a restaurant on my property would work and provide me a constant source of income?
or should I just invest in just resendital properties?
Know more than anyone about real estate. Be an expert on local geography, neighborhood qualities, cap rates, contracts, the closing process, where to find data, rehab costs, financing, rates of return, and entrance/exit strategies.
I cant think of a name for my business, every name i do research on is taken....ugh help

Pat, your content is becaming more superficial. Only 10 min to explain Value of business? You should make the 30min content, with a lot of details and examples. This is the true VALUEtainment.
Patrick , you look like a Gangsta Rapper , like the cousin of Drake
Anyone in music production business and would like to talk and share experience?
Because now l m looking for a construction job
try my best to be the first ... never works out

Hey guys! Why don't you collab with Gary Vaynerchuk? I think it would be a great collab and lot of things to learn!
Ak Shay cause Gary couldn't keep his mouth shut to collab. Patrick and Gary are two different kinds of entrepreneurs. Both are awesome. Just different styles!
Well, I will not disagree on that
If somehow it's possible, I can only think about the amount of contents they would produce. 2 different stories, 2 different businesses/markets and as you say, different styles. More for us, eh?
100% agree! Me saying Gary would talk to much I was just kidding:) It is funny tho to see his interviews and how much he does keep talking. Lol. But it would be very interesting to see them talk together and give brilliant content! Let's make it happen
I know, right. LOL
Well hopefully they see this comment. *fingers crossed* hehe ;)
I'm late
👍👍👍🖒🖒🖒
