Summary
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.

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

Fantastic
I've been carrying around a lot of really negative comments people close to me have said in the past.
They really fucked me up for a while.
Now I've printed them out, laminated it, have it where I read them every day... and I'm fired up.
Fuckin' really!.... that's my attitude now.
I also have a vision wall, all laminated, am working on the business plan, and love it when I remember other comments to add.
I'm so glad a got this.
Thank you.

Winning requires patience and discipline
Patrick's books always leave you with enough to work with, you never finish his books saying you need more. They are tailored to subject matter and always deliver.
Any young gun out there wanting to your next moves or what mindset and discipline you need to succeed look no further.

Patrick Bet-David is a genius
Like always Patrick has something valuable to teach as a great leader. It looks like he's more life smart, than college degree smart so it's very relatable to the average person who wants to improve. He went along way from being average and he's helping you to be the same. The techniques only work if you apply them. Great guy, amazing book, really recommend it.

Very good and maniacally detailed
This book is a buffet for everything needed to succeed in business, sets a great foundation to learn from, will have to read/ listen over and over again
Each topic covered should be treated like case study
