The Vault is a 3 day conference with Patrick Bet-David that will be held in Dallas, TX aimed to help Entrepreneurs, CEO’s and Executives get clear on what they need to do to reach their individual capacity. At this event, you'll learn how to:

RECREATE YOURSELF
You are where you are based on the way you view money, success, relationships and yourself. In order to recreate yourself, you will need a set of tools, strategies and mindsets to help you take that quantum leap to the next level.

IDENTIFY YOUR NEXT 3 MOVES
Your next 3 moves may be different than someone else’s. At The Vault, we will identify your BEST next 3 moves in both your personal and business life.

SCALE IN GOOD OR BAD TIMES
Many know how to win during good economic times but only a few know how to win during a recession or an economic collapse. The Forbes 400 is made up of leaders who knew how to anticipate, adapt and adjust swiftly to capitalize during bad times.

MESSAGE FROM PATRICK BET-DAVID

Dear Entrepreneur,

Over the years, many of you have asked me why I create content and openly share my strategies with you. The answer is quite simple yet emotional. Simple because I believe the strategies I share can get anyone results living in any country. Emotional because I know how close I was to giving up and just being average and ordinary. How close I was to just throwing in the towel. How close I was to believing my critics that I wasn’t good enough to compete in the market place. I never thought I would wake up one day running a financial firm with nearly 10,000 agents with Oscar De La Hoya as one of my investors. I never thought I’d create a brand called “Valuetainment” that inspires millions of Entrepreneurs around the world. I never thought I would get to a point of having billionaires, politicians, influencers and celebrities on speed dial. But something changed.

I got CLEAR on what I wanted and who I wanted to be.

I got CLEAR on a problem solving strategy that helped me in the war room, board room and the bedroom.

I got CLEAR on effective strategies and hacks that helped me grow during good times and bad times.

I got CLEAR on the type of a leader I want to be and the type of a team I want to build.

This is why “The Vault” is an event you must attend in 2019. I truly believe Valuetainment will be known as the brand that inspired the next generation of great leaders, minds, innovators and Entrepreneurs around the world. I will also be unveiling the vision of Valuetainment at the conference. We are in search for leaders around the world and I can’t wait to meet many of you face to face in Dallas.

Much love,

Patrick Bet-David (Tweet: @patrickbetdavid)

Rejection is part of life, we get rejected while growing up, in work, in business. Rejection is unavoidable, learning how to deal or brush off rejection now that is a real skill and mindset to learn.

[Cassiearan]

This is so true! When I first started my business, we had a HUGE amount of mistakes and got rejected multiple times! Our first night operating we had people get their orders 2 hours late! But we learned from them and now we have a great ordering time! When we first started it, we were living in our car with very little direction, just a huge passion to be successful. We just graduated college as well. We started the late night cookie shop out of a local bagel shop in their off hours at night. We were living in our car in the parking lot of the shop at the time with my boyfriend, Bran. It was a crazy experience but it worked! We became a success! And how we have our first storefront location (a second launching in January!) We started it to fund a year long backpacking trip around the world and to be successful while living the life of our dreams. Don't be afraid to make mistakes. Face rejections and making a lot of mistakes are crucial parts of your journey to success!

I remember when we started our travel company because we focused specifically on Africa destinations we faced a lot of rejections and stereotypes but we kept going we understood rejection was part of the challenges so just embraced it and moved on sometimes it can get you emotional but we have overcome it

[Hyperions]

If you can't face rejection, you can't be an Entrepreneur.

[richieish]

The immediate distraction is a must for me. I always thought I had to ignore it and keep pushing. You helped me understand it's okay to take my mind off things and come back. Thanks for this video.

[LoLegend]

As a business owner myself, I have to tell you; being an entrepreneur is not easy! The titles "CEO" and "entrepreneur" may sound very fancy but it's extremely stressful hard work. I've been in business for 4 years and only recently started to take home a salary. I've been rejected by investors, banks and stores who refused to stock my products. I used all of my savings and had piled up over $40k worth of debt for a dream that looked like it was going nowhere. I was suffering from insomnia and was constantly fatigued. So it's hard work guys and facing rejection is the hardest part. But I promise you that if you're consistent, eventually you will taste success. Overnight successes are very few. You'll need to be patient and continue hustling and then eventually, you'll see the fruits of your hard work!

[Melody-ln]

Thank you for taking the time to work with me !
I have a lot to learn, one of the first great accomplishments that I have recently made is realizing that I actually had an audience that just came to light today. At least to the point where I now know when that is taking place due to the fact that I was unaware, I was unprepared I did not have the right data in front of me to give a positive presentation. I will improve in these areas and be more prepared. I feel it is a great honor to have such strong positive leaders working with me. I know that your time is extremely valuable and I will do my due diligence to return the favor one day. Thank you again thank you very much guys.

I practiced at a farmers market with mygirlfriend and her parents its good practice to handle rejection and learn how people react especialy with fight style customers i really learned how shy most people are and i learned how too much carisma can be off-putting to most people so there is definitely a skill in how u treat every customer

Just found out a past client went with a competitor. I got over it halfway through this video. VALUE.

I was an exchange student in Spain. What I didn't have for much too long was a long-term host family, my organisation that was responsible for me just couldn't seem to find one for me. So they put me in this auxiliary family for three months, in which they still didn't manage to find me a family, so I kept asking friends I had gotten to know through school if they could host me for the rest of the year.
This is a very big ask, especially because my organisation stupidly followed the rule of not wanting to pay anything to the families in order for the experience not being altered by becoming a business transaction. This made it unnescessarily hard for them to find enough families that weren't just accomodating a student as a favor to the organisation, trying to bridge the period of time it took to find a permanent one.

What I learned, was that although I love my first family of three months and the friends I made in their town, they all had good reasons to reject me asking to take me in so I wouldn't have to move, which I did (I had 5 families in total),
as I DID manage to find a family through another exchange student,
that it wasn't because those people all didn't like me. That was such a big concern that I had real depression during my year there.

It was all because they didn't have the ability to host me: my first family has two daughters who also went on exchanges to Ireland, which they had to save money for. The second one only took me because the hostdad worked with the organisation. The third one also did a favor, but although we got along so good, that my time there was the best two weeks of the exchange, they already had another student from Finland and did a favor to the organisation - again. While I was there, I had already found my permanent family, which I finally went to after a third of the exchange year was already over.
When I was there, I started to reject the family, because I was suffering emotionally. Even though this was happening, I tried to connect with them "Hey, would you like to play this/that board game before dinner?", "Let's watch that new movie on Netflix this weekend", etc.
So the reject came from their side too. I could have asked the third family with the Finnish kid back in, but I was done mentally so I decided to go back home.


Nothing out of this was my fault. It took the last few years to realize. I did my absolute best and failed. Happy to have made this experience so early on.

[operatorclips]

Pat, I'm very grateful you take the time to make these videos. So much value its unbelievable. I want to come to your seminar in Houston but cannot afford the $5000 price tag. Is there another option? I'm a self employed personal trainer who is part owner in a gym. Your videos on mindset and sales are so valuable to me I'd be crazy not to see what you deliver in person. I appreciate your time!
