There are a lot of smart people that come up to me and say, "Pat, this business thing is a piece of cake. I'm an executive, and I have a degree from XYZ. I'm thinking about being a business owner, and it's going to be so easy for me." They go in extremely arrogant and cocky. Then then boom, they fail, and then they wonder why. So in the video I get into 12 reasons why smart people fail in business.

I subscribed to your website because I get asked questions on how to do certain things so I do a lot of research and I came across your videos. I shared a few of them on Facebook letting people know if they need and type in your information they may want to check out valuetainment with Patrick. I am new to the technology. I spent most of my time searching on how to invest in real estate and by real estate I thought about being a real estate agent but did not have the money for that neither so I kept researching I'm glad to tell you that 2014 I purchase my first home as a single mom with one job because I was able to do it when the market drop.
One of my strongest values is the willingness to get your hands dirty, which, I think goes along with having a beginner mentality. I love both of those concepts!
Very educative eye opener. The humility of admitting you're not as good as you think you are and staying in learning mode is priceless. Thanks Pat for always giving value.

john mclean it’s not just a generalisation, it’s vague and naive, but when you know little about a topic, like psychology, the easier it is to weave a superficially coherent narrative, but underneath the superficial veneer, it’s completely hollow. There’s no way Jp would agree with this amateur hour psychology, it’s got nothing to do with bruised egos, but solely about the lack of any foundational understanding. When you don’t know shit about a topic, don’t make videos pretending you do, but this is the problem with ignorance, those that are believe they’re anything but, whereas those that are learned, become painfully aware of how pervasive and widespread their ignorance is.

My grandfather dropped out of school in the Netherlands in 6th grade. At age 19, he hopped on a boat to America, joined the US army, and got his American citizenship while building a new life for himself. He never thought of himself as smart, but I'll be the first to tell you how well he could read people, work hard, and be creative. Fast forward a few decades. His love for Holland inspired him to bring Friesian horses to North America, which turned into an incredible business. Twenty years ago, he turned down a half million dollar offer to sell one of his horses. And that was just one. ;) I love how this video reinforced everything I knew in my heart to be true, yet would never be taught in school. Thank you.

This is one of the videos we need to watch when we feel like we are going through the motions too. Definitely a wake up call. Great video Patrick. Thank you.Looking forward to the next one.
I think this video addresses arrogant and ignorant people, rather than smart people. Truly smart people are very aware of how much they know and how much they don't know, and are not afraid to admit that the latter is usually greater.
I'm going through week of entrepreneural depression even after being in business for 12yrs and your content is like an effective medicine, a lot of videos now doesn't make sense and luckily for me, whatever you say always nailed it every time ,thanks God, may He keep you &your family healthy always

Hi pat im 14 years old and a huge thank you for making these videos, they really help me understand different aspects of business and inspire me to be a young entrepreneur. I really wish the education system would teach things like this because it is so much more useful in later life than some of the things they teach at the moment.#squad
Pat you so right, to add to your presentation: I met people who became superstars in their field on a single idea and rode that for a decade only to become ego driven on that, a one shot wonder and got outdated but refuse to adapt and could not understand why their world was falling apart. I learned early in the Army to innovate, adapt, adjust and adapt which stills serves me today 5 decades later. Sometimes success come in small increments by adjusting and adaption and most of all humility, not ego.
You're one of my many motivators. Keep it going. Great talk man.

A lot of smart people are smart in their own area of expertise. Like smart people tend to follow careers that are mathematically and scientifically based. Like engineering, programming, Chemistry, and etc. But thats almost about it. They let their egos hinder them in growing and constantly developing as a person. Plus what I also learned about smart people is they tend to live in their own bubble like they think they are wasting their time if they don't associate with people that think of things the way they do. They tend to reject change and they like doing things their way even though it may be flawed. Like one smart person that became rich was Elon Musk. However he did not graduate from college, he was broke in the beginning, he learned to adapt to changes, and he risked majority of his money in creating all of his businesses. He was failing before he even made marginal profits.

Even if someone doesn't ask us where the thought or effort came from ..... Especially when they gave the credit to to the wrong person.... We stop that person and say " no, it not me. It's was .... Who came up with the idea"

Humble is the wrong word, imo. I'd say, round every corner like it's potentially your last. Always look for your weak points, even if you're pretty sure there aren't any. Be a little paranoid. Be on edge. Be ready for the 180 I.Q. monster to come in and start fucking your shit up. It's not humility. It's knowledge that you can be taken down in a very quick hurry. The sweet spot between confidence and caution is the key to success.
Doesn't sound like a smart person. Sounds like an arrogant person. People who are really smart know the limits of their intellect.

"you are not as smart as you think you are" what a passionate lesson! Thanks
Anthony Bourdain said a really important thing about always considering yourself the least intelligent/knowledgeable person in the room. He was very right about that. Most bosses are shitty leaders and crash businesses because they don't take blame and only credit. Worked with a lot of them. Hard work vs smart work: only when you work hard can you find out spots to improve and work smarter. You will never be able to make work smarter unless you are willing to work. Starting with the thought of smart work means you want to avoid work, live from efforts of others and never know about your full abilities.
This was very inspirational and educational video!! Thanks so much ! I wish your team the best health, wealth and happiness!
I'm so glad I'm being here with you from the beginning. I know what coming is a even a lot better.

Both are amazing though
While it is generally accepted there are several "intelligences"; going forward, I will be focusing solely on IQ. Typically, when people refer to "smart" people they are referring to either education or IQ. The two are too often conflated. Anyone of normal intelligence can be educated. I prefer to use the standard use term because it is appropriate. (You're right, I am fond of rules.) In fact, it is the concept that any person of normal intelligence can be educated which is at the heart of my quibble with your video's premise. I clicked to hear opinion regarding why and how the smart fail at business only, in fact, to hear why educated and previously successful people fail at business. None of the characteristics you describe are typically associated with "smart" people. Smart people beginning at the second standard deviation right of the normal curve; which is the designation for gifted beginning at a level of 132-135 on the Wechsler intelligence tests for adults and children. This represents approximately 2% of the population and is the minimum requirement for entry into MENSA (an international society of and for the smart). Of those considered gifted (2%) or profoundly gifted (1%), it is typically the case that they underestimate their abilities rather than over estimate them according to studies. Further, many of the traits you recommend are attributed to the highly intelligent: (www.Business insider.com/8-common-traits-of-highly-intelligent-people-2016-7) -highly adaptable -able to admit ignorance -insatiable curiosity -open minded -high self-control -sensitive to other people's experiences -very funny -very individualistic While I have only provided one reference and, admittedly, it is a lay reference; there are many studies readily available through any search engine which confirms this information. So, it would seem someone didn't do their homework which would have prevented the sharing of completely erroneous information which appears to be (and this is just a guess) based on prejudicial beliefs generated by feelings of educational inadequacy. Ordinarily, I would not have responded to such grossly incorrect information being shared by a self-proclaimed subject matter expert but one presumes people come to your channel to be educated and as you pointed out you have a sizable subscription base which is expanding. Let us stop the propagation of this particular brand of both ignorance an anti-intellectualism here. Shall we?

My intelligence transcends blind spots. I know how many hairs are currently growing on my arse and I can use my immense brain power to create a magnetic field that will arrange my arse hairs into intricate patterns. This is possible thanks to the iron-enriched cereal that I eat passing through my intestines and sticking to my arse hairs in the form of ferrous dingleberries. That is what I do when I poo, so imagine what I do when it's crunch time, bucko.
Some good advice. But your connection to smart people is completely wrong. A. Dumb people do all those things also. B. There are at least three other back breakers that will kill any business. i.e. accounting/spending, product knowledge, liabilities/insurance etc. … My point? Many business owners, some of which are smart, don't do a single thing on your list and still fail. And let me take this opportunity to point out that if a person is truly smart they know most of these things already, have already learned these lessons from the many life experiences that most of your list is relevant to. People with a degree from a prestigious school do not qualify as smart people based on that fact alone. I'd say anyone that sits down at an interview and says, "You have to give me an executive position because that's what I went to school for.", is obviously a moron. C. There are many successful people, smart and dumb, that are guilty of most, if not all, the things on your list You could make all those points without making it a negative about a group. What if someone posted a video that was titled The Reasons Iranian People Fail in Business and used the exact same reasons you have, only before each point they say that this is a common characteristic of Iranian people's thinking. The answer is obvious, you even say it in the beginning but then switch to smart people. It is not smart people you are talking about it is people who think they are smart but are actually not, and also unintelligent scholastic achievers that think scholastic achievement is the only way to gauge intelligence, and smart people that think being smart counts for something, which again exposes a pretty obvious limit to their intelligence.
2nd to last bubble - great point! Makes me look at myself more and realize I need to keep growing and adapting! Thank you!

Exaclty. Patrick displays insecurity about his own intelligence. It was very visible during the interview with Ray Dalio, who is truly smart and intelligent.
Maybe off topic, but it makes happy all the way down to my soul when I see your sub count growing by THOUSANDS everyday. You guys Entertain, Inform, & Enrich, but above all, I can see the HEART in what you do. Thanks Much!
thank you patrick and the valuetainment team for your insights and help that you bring to us all. this sort of information and help in the not too distant past was difficult to access, being able to share as we all now can, can, and could help us all if we are thankful, grateful and humble enuff to put this info to good use for humanity. kind regards.
I actually feel a little offended the title and thumbnail are misleading. Usually nerds always strive to improve and keep learning. The title should be mr. know it(Usually medicore IQ) all and not smart people( high IQ but can also be mr.know it all). EInstein, Aristotle, Bill Gates, Zucks (high IQ) are all curious people who keep learning.

No one knows Eisenstein's real IQ, its a myth; and i don't believe IQ is a real measure of intelligence, truth is i have no idea what it means to be intelligent, the nerd who works hard is just disciplined and determined, this has nothing to do with being smart in my honest opinion

Agreed. IQ cannot fully portray ones personal intelligence. Maybe book smarts, but really... if you can't think of things yourself and always use what you learn in a book to justify everything you do... you have a longggg way to go in the world before you are truly an intelligent individual. But then again... even intellect is ambigious.

yeah that's more creativity and vision. my creativity comes in sperts and writers block or "thinkers" block can become a hinderance, to where i'll feel not worth a damn, I think the people who are largely successful are very creative.

I don't like how you used nerd as a synonym for smart people. A smart person isn't necessarily a nerd.

Einstein was good, until he hit quantum physics
You talk too much, you could go straight to the point.
Loving it, first time viewer, and man to man, I know your lessons are forged in the trenches. Every entrepreneur who is worth his salt, have experienced the above, I am sitting here nodding while watching. Respect.

We are not smart people or we wouldn't do PhDs with head damages. Hi, Pat, I think this lecture will be shared among our families from 9 yr old to 42 years old, from elementary students to Ph.Ds. It teaches us how to become a better person. Thank you very much! Yi
Hi Patrick, I'm at Pro heading for LMO! My biggest takeaway from this video is the practice + script. We often fool ourselves into straying from the script thinking we are beyond it. Big mistake, consistency is the key to success. Keep up the great work, you will be at a million subscribers by the end of 2017!
My grandfather always said give a doctor (smart person) a screwdriver ,he doesn't know what you all can do with it! Because they to much in the books or they already know what to know my lesson was... A person can be smart in some fields but not in all! Be humble to all and don't forget Earth -strongest object in our world Love your energie! Getting fired up in telling a story. Showing your real honest feeling is rare to see on KZread. Keep on going!
Thank you so much for your great work. You gave me what I needed - mostly discipline and organization.
