Patrick Bet David is an  Iranian born American entrepreneur and a financial advisor immigrant who has  a quite interesting story on how he got great success in America despite coming from a background that is not so rosy.
Patrick was born in Tehran, Iran in October 1978 at a time when the country was in a serious political crisis. Due to the hard life that his family experienced due to this crisis, his father decided that they would flee to America. In between Patrick and his family spent over two years in a refugee camp in Germany where any form of hope of survival was dim. Patrick was twelve years old when they eventually moved and started living in the United States in the early nineties. After finishing his high school education, there was need for him to get a means of sustenance therefore he enrolled in the US army where he served as 101st Airborne Division.
After serving time in the army, he was discharged and got  a job at Morgan Stanley in 2009. He worked diligently till he attended a life changing dinner event by award winning journalist George Will.

His breakthrough
After that dinner event, Patrick was challenged and thus decided to launch his website called Saving America followed by a radio show in Los Angeles after he started the website. Patrick’s main intention was to encourage and teach people about fiscal literacy and responsibility. To this end he also opened an agency which could dispense with a number of services that were touted on the website and the radio show. The agency offered different services including settlement of debts, offering term insurance and permanent cover on various entrepreneurial fields.

The agency is Patrick’s ticket to prominence and notoriety. The agency that is widely known as  PHP which stands for People Helping People is the avenue that he uses to articulate his vision and mission. Here, he gives financial advice to people with his main selling point being that people should avoid debts at all costs. He acquired this knowledge and experience when he became a member of a marketing organization in a period between 2002 and 2009. Therefore, he had the requisite entrepreneurial and marketing knowledge and experience prior to the formation of his financial services agency.

According to his LinkedIn page, Patrick is worth over $42 billion. The humble Patrick is reputed to be one of the richest people in the world and this has been attributed to his passion in helping other people improve their financial status. According to one of the quotes that have been attributed to him, as depicted in his Agency’s home page, everyday that people wake up to undertake their daily routine, fate will always step in at one time. Unfortunately, people do not know when the time is and that is why they need financial nous and insurance to be able to take advantage of this time when they reach it.

People Helping People

The agency was founded in 2009, with the aim of serving the people of America truthfully. His focus was to help the middle class people (that comprises of majority of the populace in the country) acquire insurance covers regardless of their culture. In addition to that, Patrick aimed to bring entrepreneurial opportunities to the people in order to help them improve their lives.
PHP is based in Northridge, CA and has partnered with a number of insurance companies so they could realize their dream together. Until today, the there are more than 4000 individuals and more than 42000 families have acquired insurance covers from the agency.
It is therefore no surprise that many big household names such as AIG, Foresters, National Life Group and Nationwide have collaborated with PHP agency in a bid to move forward.
