Personal Life of Patrick Bet-David through the Years
Patrick's childhood was not ideal. He went home to chaos every day, and his grades were not really good. He lied about his age and started working part-time at a shop to get a job. Luckily Patrick knew what he wanted to do early on in life, so he used to stand outside of shops with their forgotten hats where no one was paying attention to them any longer, knowing that someone might go for it once they managed to see it and could afford to buy it.

After high school, Patrick joined the U.S. Army as he believed it would provide him with discipline and structure that could be beneficial to him. Patrick always had an entrepreneur mindset even while in the Army. He offered his fellow service members vitamin supplements that had been bought in bulk despite not having any sort of nutritional background or education. He created online home businesses by selling gym memberships, developing online websites and portals, along launching a few small companies after leaving the military for good.

He wanted to become a bodybuilder of Mr. Olympia, a person who competes in an organized event that tests the competitors' strength, stamina, and overall physical fitness. Yet he put his ambitions aside in order to go through with a steady career. It was evident when he joined Morgan Stanley without any experience or degree that it took him aside from the fact that this company eventually took him onboard only by looking at his full of confidence, attitude, humor, and charm. While working here, he can gain insightful knowledge about the finance field. He worked there prior to starting up his own business, which is 'Transamerica.' After several years in his position at Transamerica, he decided not to renew his contract because he wanted to find himself into new ventures and make use of working more freely on his choices independently.
