From the creator of Valuetainment, the number-one YouTube channel for entrepreneurs, and “one of the most exciting thinkers” (Ray Dalio, author of Principles) in business today, comes a practical and effective guide for thinking more clearly and achieving your most audacious professional goals.

Both successful entrepreneurs and chess grandmasters have the vision to look at the pieces in front of them and anticipate their next five moves. In this book, Patrick Bet-David “helps entrepreneurs understand exactly what they need to do next” (Brian Tracy, author of Eat That Frog!) by translating this skill into a valuable methodology. Whether you feel like you’ve hit a wall, lost your fire, or are looking for innovative strategies to take your business to the next level, Your Next Five Moves has the answers.

You will gain:
CLARITY on what you want and who you want to be.
STRATEGY to help you reason in the war room and the board room.
GROWTH TACTICS for good times and bad.
SKILLS for building the right team based on strong values.
INSIGHT on power plays and the art of applying leverage.

Combining these principles and revelations drawn from Patrick’s own rise to successful CEO, Your Next Five Moves is a must-listenfor any serious executive, strategist, or entrepreneur.

Title: For those desiring clarity on what to do in life, self awareness, building and maintaining a company
Review: Just a quick note: I have both the audiobook and hardcover versions and they are both very good. Patrick is a great narrator and I enjoyed his other two audiobooks, especially "Doing The Impossible: The 25 Laws for Doing The Impossible," as well.This book is an excellent book to help those are uncertain about what they want out of life, how to start a business, maintain a business, and survive in a business environment. The book emphasizes self awareness, knowing what you ultimately want out of life and a job, and after that how to structure your career path around that if you are someone that want to run a company by giving the reader 5 moves to think about. The book is well thought out and recommendations are backed by life experience, but throughout the book the reader is told to use their own judgment and not to just take the recommendations as orders. The 5 moves are broken down as follows with some highlights I picked:1. Know yourself: be self aware; know who you want to be, what you want in life. Do you want to be a CEO, intrapreneur (someone who is not necessarily a founder but a key member of building a company without being the CEO), an influencer, etc.? What drives you--job promotions, lifestyle, fame, helping others?My favorite part of the book is actually here, right at the beginning. Patrick talks about how a heart attack his father had helped guide him to removing distractions out of his life and to focus on bettering his life and his family's life. Although based on the "Know yourself and what drives you" theme, it is obvious we all have a desire to have a nice life, and we all will have different definitions for what that may be. It is important to realize we have competing desires with our one for a better life, no matter how seemingly innocent they may be, and that we need to remove these competing desires as barriers to do the work and make the sacrifices necessary to fulfill our desire for a better life.2. Ability to reason: the book speaks about great processors of information and gives 8 traits for them, but the first two are the ones that I find most important--ask lots of questions and don't care about being right or wrong initially, just in reaching the truth. I appreciate the frankness here because many people, not all, try to act like they know everything and have to be correct, both in business and in life, and they end up hurting their relationships and prospects of success do this. If those people would focus on improving and not worrying about how not knowing everything appears to others they would succeed more.3. Building the right team: understand your teams desires; talks about firing people, which as someone who may not be a CEO but has worked with coworkers who should have been fired, I am glad he does not shy away from doing what is necessary for the good of the team; communicate expectations--you'd be surprised how many people/bosses do not do this and act angry when something is not completed at the time or in the fashion of their desire. By communicating expectations, the level of urgency and detail required for the task is conveyed and the employee knows exactly how to prioritize their work--for some bosses I've had, if they said to do something in an open ended fashion, they wanted progress to be done on it, but for the day to day tasks to take priority; others wanted it done and handed over to them with a quick turn around regardless of other tasks. People are not mind readers and clear communication can help avoid unnecessary friction.4. Strategy to scale--raising capital; accountability; building systems for measurement and making things systematic to easily train the next wave of talent. My favorite parts were the respect shown for predictive analytics and recommendation of codifying your business methods to more easily train the next wave of talent in your company. If more company's took this approach, they'd save tons of time and grief (I have been on the receiving end of the grief due to poor training).5. Power plays: beat the dominant entities of your industry and control your narrative and brand. This one has quite a few points to get into, but one thing I will like to point out is the point of not prostituting your brand. Patrick lives this. He does not talk about the company he runs, PHP, much on his Valutainment YouTube channel. He uses it when he draws on his life experiences, yes, but he does not promote it. This built my trust in him and I will vouch that he seems like an honest person that knows how to respect his viewers/readers/customers time and will not jerk them around.He will make mention in the book to use your own judgement and not necessarily just go by what he says. He does not try to come across as a know it all, but as someone who has gone through many different situations, learned many things, come up with strategies for putting a situation in his favor, and being highly curious and willing to evolve and change his thinking. If you are looking for guidance on figuring out how you be self aware, aware of coworkers/employees desires, how to build a company, maintain it, and grow it, this will be a solid and perhaps even indispensable source of knowledge for you.

Title: A Fresh Take on Business Growth and Expansion
Review: It's a great book that brings a fresh perspective to business leaders, whether they're new or seasoned entrepreneurs. While much of the content may be familiar to most—ideas and concepts they've likely encountered or learned about at some point—the true value lies in how the information is compiled and presented. The book effectively condenses essential knowledge, guiding the reader's focus toward the functionality and processes of business expansion. It emphasizes the importance of choosing the right process, managing time efficiently, and taking the necessary steps to ensure a successful outcome.I believe this book is well worth reading for anyone interested in business or business growth. It serves as both an educational tool and a refreshing reminder, helping readers refocus on their business ventures with renewed clarity.

Review: One of the best business books I've ever read. Patrick is an innovative entrepreneur and always up to date with the production of content in digital media, which is a great differentiator for his sector. The book is full of good examples and excellent lessons on business strategy that can be applied to entrepreneurs and employees. Patrick almost always makes good analogies between business strategy and sports strategy, making the topics easier for anyone to understand. Each chapter has good examples that can be applied to the reader in their business, work, or personal life. The final chapters reminded me of another book that I also really like: HBR Guide to Negotiating.

Reviewer: Item received. Thanks.
