Ted Prodromou sugggested I read “Your Next Five Moves – Master the Art of Business Strategy” and I’ve loving it.

Author Patrick Bet-David created one of my favorite YouTube channels, Valuetainment. In this book, he shares his rags to riches story.

And he reveals the mindsets and methodologies that helped him reach the mountaintop.

From the publisher’s description: “Both successful entrepreneurs and chess grandmasters have the vision to look at the pieces in front of them and anticipate their next five moves. In this book, Patrick Bet-David translates this skill into a valuable methodology that applies to high performers at all levels of business. Whether you feel like you’ve hit a wall, lost your fire, or are looking for innovative strategies to take your business to the next level, Your Next Five Moves has the answers.”

“Your Next Five Moves” is this month’s selection for the Mastermind Book Club. Each month, Ted and I choose a great business book, read it, and then discuss it (live on Zoom) with members.

This month’s meeting happens on Thursday, September 25, at 2:30 p.m. ET. You don’t have to read the book to join the conversation. But you have to join the Club (it’s free) to get the meeting notices and Zoom link.
