At the same time, it offers a number of interesting perspectives with real-life examples and provides food for thought for leaders at all levels. There is a lot to recognise in this chapter for those who have attended our ‘Practical problem-solving model’ course. All of this together provides a lot of food for thought, as well as concrete solutions to try. In addition, he also offers a number of ways to identify the best between different plans of action, focusing specifically on the business perspective. Prevent more problems than you solve – spot risks before they materialize Ĭoncentrate on the final solution to problems – avoid putting temporary ‘patches’ on.Don’t make excuses – wasting time and energy on things that went wrong will not get us results īe curious – problems cannot be solved without knowledge.Don’t worry about whether you make mistakes or not – focus on finding the truth.Patrick offers both analytical and more general tools to develop this skill, and here I will highlight the following example from his many lists.Įight skills to develop to become a great analyst:Īsk lots of questions – the more information you have the better conclusions you can draw This is especially important when information has shifted and all team members need to get back on the same page. In the Defence Forces, we used to call this a ‘tactical pause’, meaning that even in extremely time-sensitive situations it is wiser to pause for a moment and assess the situation. This doesn’t always mean hours or days of a complex decision-making process, but sometimes you need to analyze and decide immediately and quickly.

However, if we don’t know what winning looks like for us, how do we know we have achieved it? How and what do we learn in the process? Patrick says that if you want to grow into a big and successful company, you have to behave like one long before you become one. The mindset that if we do the right thing we will succeed anyway can also work. What’s more, you have to do it in your own company. Yet that’s exactly what you need to ask yourself. It might seem funny to ask an adult: “Who do you want to be when you grow up?”. Time and time again, the subject comes up in conversation or in our own training sessions, and surprisingly few people have really thought it through for themselves. The more I think about this point myself, both in the past and now, the more I realize how important it is.

Also, define where you want to be and who you want to become. Know yourself and understand where you are.

All too often we fall into a comfort zone and hope that something will change without making an effort or continuing to do the same thing. This may sound a bit negative, but that’s life. If you want to be successful, don’t complain, just follow through with specific actions, and if you don’t succeed that way, try harder. Patrick’s approach, both in the videos and in the book, is very concrete and direct. It’s a very well done summary of the key techniques and mindset he has talked about throughout as an entrepreneur and influencer – make a plan and follow it through. The book Your Next Five Moves was released in 2020 and was promoted by author Patrick Bet-David on his YouTube channel well in advance. Book review “Your Next Five Moves” – Patrick Bet-David ![]()
