Overview

Patrick Bet-David isn’t just throwing out generic business advice—he’s teaching you how to think ahead.

His core idea? Business is like chess. The best players don’t just react to their opponent’s last move. They see the whole board. They anticipate what’s coming five steps ahead.

In this book, Bet-David lays out five key “moves” every entrepreneur needs to master. These aren’t just business strategies—they’re a framework for making smarter decisions, avoiding traps, and scaling your vision.

Let’s break it down. Get the book here.

Move #1: Master Knowing Yourself

Before You Build a Business, Understand the Builder (That’s You)

Most people jump into business without asking the hard question: “Why am I even doing this?”

Bet-David says success isn’t about what you do—it’s about knowing who you are and why you do it.

Here’s how he puts it: "If you don’t know what game you’re playing, you’ll waste years playing the wrong one."

So, what drives you?

• Are you a pure capitalist? (Money is your scoreboard.)

• Are you competitive? (You love the thrill of winning.)

• Are you about legacy? (You want to leave something bigger than yourself.)
