Publisher Description
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.
Read 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.

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
A master of the business plan, entrepreneur Patrick Bet-David has a brilliant method for developing your strategy. In this invaluable guide, he discusses his 12 building blocks for crafting a great business plan. The linchpin? Identifying your haters. But he doesn’t want you to hold grudges, which can turn toxic. His advice is all about maintaining the motivation you’ll need to carry you, your team, or your company through the toughest times. And what really stuck with us is that, as Bet-David puts it, there has to be a reward waiting at the end of all your hard work—and proving people wrong isn’t enough. The host of the PBD Podcast keeps the audiobook lively by including a few stories that didn’t make it into the print version, and there’s a helpful PDF for visual reinforcement. This is a great listen for anyone who needs a plan and the motivation to see it through.

PBD is the man
In my 24 years of existence, PBD’s books are the only ones I have read cover to cover. The Value and the way it’s broken down is exactly why I’ve been able to complete it. Now take action my friends 🫡
FIRES ME UP!
This book will make you want to run through a wall if that’s what it takes to make the business succeed! I took so many notes and highlighted so much of this book that it would have been easier to highlight the parts that I didn’t want to remember! This book will really make you think and reflect on all of the things that drive you and also makes you uncover things about yourself that you may have never even known could be the fuel for success! It is very motivational but also very strategic. This allows you to have a clear step by step system for going after your dreams but will make you more than excited to do so! Highly Highly recommend to any entrepreneurs out there that are having a tough time finding a reason to work as hard as possible! 10 stars!
