About this listen

What’s the difference between your competitor and your enemy?

You know who your competitors are. You keep tabs on them regularly, and can list them calmly, along with their strengths and weaknesses.

But your enemies are a whole other matter. They’re the haters and the doubters who said you’d never make it, the ones who stomped on your dreams. When you think about your enemies, you get emotional. You feel like you won’t let anything—or anyone—stop you.

In Choose Your Enemies Wisely, Patrick Bet-David, #1 Wall Street Journal bestselling author, founder of Valuetainment, and host of The PBD Podcast, shows how to harness that emotion to turbocharge your business, dominate this year, and grow for generations after.

But first, you need to choose your enemies wisely.

Bet-David has spent years perfecting the system that led to the knockout success of his own financial services company. Now, Bet-David shares the secret behind this system: his 12 Business Building Blocks, which will teach you how to seamlessly blend emotion and logic in your business plan. Both a practical document for achieving goals and the fuel needed to fire up yourself and your team, this plan goes beyond the “how” and digs deeper into the “why”: not only how you’ll get funding, but why you need long-term vision; why you must build a culture that makes employees want to run through walls; why you have to know the enemy you’re out to prove wrong. Straightforward and simple, the steps in this book will lead you to move the levers that create exponential growth and lasting success.

Listen to Choose Your Enemies Wisely if you are a visionary, dreamer, and big thinker. Where you are now in your business journey doesn’t matter. By following Bet-David’s plan, you will set up your business for sustainable success and accomplish your most audacious goals.

* This audiobook edition includes a downloadable PDF that contains important visual aids from the book.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Critic reviews

“While Choose Your Enemies Wisely is an excellent guide to creating a business plan that will accelerate your company’s success, it is also, at its core, an ode to American capitalism—and Bet-David is living proof that anyone can achieve their wildest dreams, with the right motivation.”—Ken Langone, co-founder of The Home Depot

"One of the best lessons my dad taught me is that 'adversity is a terrible thing to waste.' You can’t control what challenges life throws at you, but you can decide how you react to them, how you let them fuel you. In this inspiring book, Patrick Bet-David unpacks this idea brilliantly, and lays out a step by step path that will help you bring your business dreams to life."—Will Guidara, national bestselling author of Unreasonable Hospitality

"Patrick understands and can see the entire big picture, which very few can do. He is able to use that insight to inspire and motivate individuals to reach their highest goals."—Tommy Mottola, former Chairman and CEO of Sony Music

A masterpiece of a book

This is probably the best book I’ve ever read in my life, so much emotion and logic and combination of both. Actionable strategies, experience from people that have been there before, guidance, untold stories, and most importantly: Real valuable tool to improve your business and life.

Clear, precise and helpful

Patrick Bet-David you are an amazing leader and I am honored to be a part of the PHP Agency. I work full-time as a Social Worker and I have been learning to be an entrepreneur for the last 3 years. This book gave me at least gave me clarity on what I need to work on and how I need to be more clear on my vision and mission. I can be too logical sometimes and I need to work on the emotional side of business. My dreams were crushed a long time ago by people wanting what’s best for me (my parents) so I constantly struggling to connect with that side but you helped me understand how to pull it out and I hope I can cast it the way you do to the millions of people who follow you. Thank you Patrick! From: Genesis Frazier in Tucson, AZ under the 212 organization.

Spectacular

Throughout this book, Patrick goes into detail on a step by step analysis on how to bring your business plan from zero to one-hundred. If anyone is looking how to get started or is looking for some type of direction for the new year; this would be an awesome book for you.
