Bob Regnerus of Feedstories, part seven, the commentary.

Hi I’m Brian Pombo, welcome back to Brian J. Pombo Live.

I want to take some time after if you haven’t if you didn’t get to see the interview I did with Bob Regnerus, go back and watch it. It’s great stuff, you can see the whole thing over at BJPchats.com.

And it was really a lot of fun because this was one of the first major interviews that we’re putting here out on this platform on Brian J. Pombo Live. So I have two other podcasts in which I have interviews, and I’m now starting to implement having some interviews of different caliber or different people on Brian J. Pombo Live.

So that’s a lot of fun, just unto itself.

But let me point out a couple things that Bob brought up. Great stuff. One of those you’ll want to go back to over and over again, because he has so much experience and brought in so many great points, principles and strategies that you can use.

One of the first things that I heard him say that I think really stood out is talking about exercising your, “what if” muscles, okay?

In a sense of not just looking at, well, what if this wonderful thing happens, which is, as entrepreneurs, we tend to be very positive to begin with, we tend to focus on the positive.

And we don’t spend enough time being skeptical and looking at, okay, what if the worst case scenario happened?

Or what if, you know, just a slightly more negative version came out?

What would we do about it, then how would we handle that?

And if you don’t take those steps ahead of time, you’re going to be in for a world of hurt.

If you do take those steps ahead of time, chances are a lot of those horrible things will never happen for some reason or another. If you prepare some, oftentimes you prepare for the worst and the worst never happens. But at least you’re prepared even when things start looking a little bit negative.

So that’s one thing I think is so important, you can write an entire book on that.

And Bob’s got some great experiences as far as that goes.

The other thing he said is, I don’t want to get involved in the day to day with my business.

So when I asked him the area that he loved most about what he does on a day to day basis, he basically said that he’s designed his life so that he’s only working on the stuff that he loves, and that everything else is being outsourced.

It’s being run by a system, it’s being run by people, it’s being run by automations, which is really a fabulous thing.

It’s the one thing I encourage all my clients to start heading towards, no matter where you are at in your business, whether you’re just starting, or whether you’re partway along, or whether you’re on the tail end of what you think is the lifespan of your business, you need to start pulling out of the things that you don’t need to be involved in.

And only focusing on those things you knew do need to be involved in and only spending the amount of time necessary to get those things done.

Having other pieces of focus, that was the thing that he put a whole lot of focus on.

You definitely want to go back and listen to that is having those alternative pieces in your life so that those pieces of your brain don’t atrophy. I love that analogy that was really good.

And the final thing, him talking about the power of books, both in the beginning of the interview from the author’s perspective, and then at the tail end of the interview from a reader perspective.

About starting with books that experts are writing first before you delve any deeper before you get into courses, high end courses, or before you even get into hiring somebody as as an advisor.

Make sure you take a look at their books and books around that subject matter so that you get a very well rounded idea of what they’re all about.

That’s fabulous advice.

It’s really is important.

All in all, great interview, can’t wait to talk to him again sometime in the future because there’s so many different directions you could take that conversation because he’s such a wealth of information.

Regarding books, I’ve got my own, 9 Ways to Amazon-Proof Your Business.

You can get a free copy of that at AmazonProofBook.com.

And if you’d like to be on the show as an interviewee, if you’d like to have me on your show, or if you’d like to hire me as a speaker, go to BrianJPombo.com.

That’s all I got for today. You have a great one. Get out there and let the magic happen.

Episode with Gary Collins: http://offthegridbiz.com/gary-collins-the-simple-life/

Want a more simple life?

Hi, I’m Brian J Pombo with BrianJPombo.com welcome back to the Orange Office. This is Brian J. Pombo Live coming to you from Grants Pass, Oregon.

Today we’re talking about simplicity, life simplification, a great little phrase that this fellow made up right here.

This is Gary Collins. Gary Collins is the writer of many books including some one called Off The Grid, which ties right into my Off the Grid Biz Podcast, which I got to interview him on. If you check out the description, you could see the link going back to that interview and I highly recommend you listen to it.

Now at the time of the interview we did it over video chat and he doesn’t look a lot like this. He’s got a beard now and a baseball cap on, so he looked like a completely different person but very sharp guy.

Lots of fun to talk to and he’ll be a lot of fun to listen to make sure and listen to that podcast. He’s got a lot of energy and a lot of the stuff he talks about, it’s really funny because a lot of the stuff he talks about that, uh, I heard someone else saying is a lot of common sense.

He has a lot of solid common sense, but he delivers it in a very confident, straightforward, no bs attitude that makes it a lot of fun.

One of the themes that he has is this concept of life simplification.

And the way I see it is it’s life simplification for the purpose of lifestyle design. So if you can have the ideal life, my friend Tyler says that, it’s a life you don’t need a vacation from. If you could design a life you don’t need a vacation from, what would it be?

And would it be more simple? If you really distilled it down to its most simple form, what would that be? How would that look? If you could just make it as basic as possible just to start out with, just to make your life easier, stress-free, and really be what you want it to be. What would that look like?

That’s what Gary focuses on, that’s his perspective on things. And that’s what he helps people bring people to. He has a series of books. Has a new one coming out called the Simple Life Guide to Financial Freedom.

So we talk a lot about that on the show where he’s talking about financial freedom. He’s talking about, how to really simplify things to be able to get what you want out of life while at the same time not messing people over and really having a good moral life.

Go listen to that because I think it would help you out.

I think it’s very much in terms of a lot of the concepts that we talk about here. He actually lives off the grid. So beyond what most people would off the grid, he lives off the grid, he and lives very much an off the grid lifestyle.

He tries to stay off social media except for business and so forth. And he’s got a lot of cool concepts. Go and listen to that episode.

If you are a business owner or an executive that’s in the self-reliance space, meaning that you have products and services and a lifestyle that promotes self-reliance to others, then you’re somebody I’d like to talk to. Go to DreamBizChat.com. At DreamBizChat.com where I’m discussing the dream business transformation.

There’s an eight and a half minute video you can watch. Just go take a look. It’s free to apply and it’s free to take part in the Dream Biz Chat if you’re so interested, if you’re so inclined. And if you qualify, go and check it out. I’m quite a ways off from being able to have any Dream Biz Chats right now or at least two weeks to two months out right now with them. So there is a waiting list, but if you go apply, I will definitely get back to you within the next week and a half or so.

Like I said, we’re kind of backlogged and like on a lot of great episodes on, Off the Grid Biz coming out even tonight. Go and check it out once again. DreamBizChat.com. Tomorrow we are going to be discussing, uh, let’s see, what are we going to be discussing?

I don’t know. It probably the next episode of Off the Grid Biz, which is going to be coming out tonight. Ooh, go and check it out. It has to do with, how to have these types of businesses.

How would you have…..we talked about, expert type businesses or adding some expertise into the business that you already have? We’re gonna talk about a person that’s been doing that themselves. They’ve been practicing this concept of learn, do, teach, and it’s just, it’s a constant cycle. I think you’ll find it interesting.

We’ll see it tomorrow. In the meantime, get out there and let the magic happen.
