Do I have to meet new people?

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

One of the things that’s become more and more apparent to me over time, is this concept of being relationship reliant.

This is a concept that I learned pretty early on in my business career but didn’t really learn it, it didn’t really sink in, and it sinks in more year after year after year.

You got to think about this relationship reliant is one of the three pillars of BrianJPombo.com.

It’s something I talk about a lot and I still don’t think it fully sets in.

A lot of people who see my last video would be asking, you know, why would you just put yourself out there just to meet new people.

I think the real reason is, is because nothing ever changes in your life until you have a connection with the right person, or until the right person you have a connection with, you learn something new about them, or they learn something new about you so that you can go the next level.

So you can take things beyond you know, and I don’t mean, just within the relationship, I mean, having it when we’re talking business, having that breakthrough, it happens only through one medium and that’s people, other people, people you know or people you don’t know, that’s the those are your only options.

If you don’t know them, it’s really tough to figure out whether they can help you or not.

Now, if you already know the people that can help you, then all you got to do is move them from column A people you don’t know when to call them B people you do know, right?

It’s really that simple.

Nowadays, look, we’ve got cell phones, we’ve got a lot of people still have landlines, especially businesses or traditional businesses and people with traditional offices, you’ve got an email, you’ve got all the different social medias, which is more than just one, obviously, it goes on and on and on and on.

The You’ve Got Mail, snail mail addresses, okay, there’s just a handful of ways that you can go out and meet people let alone if they’re public, and individuals who show up to things, right?

They show up to meetings, they show up to if they’re an outgoing person, they may be given a speech somewhere, there are so many ways to get in touch with somebody and meet somebody for the first time.

You may have a connection to somebody that knows that person, and they can introduce you.

Everything in life, every problem you have right now. Besides the real heavy, you know, spiritual stuff, I would imagine some of that stuff is just things you got to it’s between you and somebody else.

But in general, I think every problem you have or every problem you think you have, can be solved or eliminated by the right relationship.

Keep that in mind as you’re going through the day, and trying to figure out okay, how am I going to get through this?

Or how am I going to fix this problem that I’ve been having for years and years and years?

You’re one person away from fixing it.

Start reaching out, touching base with people who you think might have an answer, or who you think might know the person that has the answer.

Get to know people that you connect with, not just intellectually, but people you connect with on a kind of subconscious level, I guess you would say, you know when you come across somebody on YouTube, and you’re like, that person seems cool.

Don’t put them up on a pedestal and don’t get all caught up and say all this is the one this is gonna make all the difference. Not just reach out, see if you connect with the person, some people don’t want to connect.

You might be one of those people. But realize if you open yourself up to it, and you allow people into your life, and you go out there to find people to bring into your life.

I think your life’s gonna get better, as long as you do well at handling people that aren’t perfect because it turns out, I found this out. Most of them aren’t perfect. You know, they really are.

They really most of them are really screwed up but they can be fun at the same time.

So if you as long as you’re cool with that, and you’re cool with learning how to be a better person, by letting the little things go, then there’s nothing better than getting more connections in your life more relationships can lead to a better thing in the long run.

When we’re talking business, there’s really no way around it from at least from what I found. If you found something else, please leave a comment wherever you’re watching or listening to this. That’s all I have for tonight.

Want to touch base?

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

This is one of the most cliche moments I have.

So one of the things, and it’s funny because I interviewed Ari Galloper. And he was making fun of people that use this phrase touch base, because it’s very cliche, especially within sales and marketing circles.

It’s just one of those things that I didn’t really know how else to talk about it, because so there’s a handful of people that will find my website.

They could be people who are looking to grow a business, they could be people looking to start a business.

Then there’s people that they’re not, it’s something else, maybe they know me from the past, maybe, maybe they’d like to get to know me just as a person, maybe they’d like to see because I’m a Business Investor, it kind of has a very broad appeal. And a very broad base of people that I end up getting to know, especially since my background has been in everything from cattle ranching, to politics to this the mat, I mean, I’ve done a little bit of everything.

So I have this one section on my website called touch base.

If you go to the website, you go to the menu, you can click on touch base, and it’s just a basic form, just to keep in touch with me. And that’s all it is.

If you’re one of those people that are just looking to touch base, either get to know me, or get reacquaint yourself with me or keep in contact with me go fill that out.

There’s no obligation, there’s nothing saying that we even have to have a business relationship whatsoever, even though the the website is basically business related and contains my podcasts and everything else.

But it’s there for you if you’d like so if you’d like to keep in touch. If you’d like to touch base on some time, go fill out that section is over at BrianJPombo.com/touch-base.

Like I said, you go to the website, go to the menu and you can find it. That’s all I’ve got for tonight. We’re gonna be that’s kind of the review.

This is the third of a review of the main sections of my website, besides all the media and podcasts and everything else that you could find there.

Tomorrow we’ll be back with some of our regularly scheduled programs. And so you have a great one we’ll be back then. Get out there and let the magic happen.

Undercover Billionaire Secret Lesson #2

Lesson #1 – http://brianjpombo1.freedomfind.us/undercover-billionaire-secret-lesson-1/

Undercover Billionaire secret lesson number two.

Hi, I’m Brian Pombo welcome back to Brian J. Pombo Live. Today I’m going to continue this series that we’re doing on Undercover Billionaire. If you haven’t seen it, it’s on the discovery channel. It’s a series really worth watching so far.

They’ve just put out one season, this was from last year. It’s called Undercover Billionaire, all about the exploits of the very wealthy businessmen Glenn Stearns, as he goes undercover to start from scratch and build himself back up again.

We’re going to talk about some of the lessons that I got out of the show that I think are relatively obvious, but they need to be talked about more than even what the show said.

I’m going to talk about a second lesson to learn. You go back and watch the first lesson and find out a little more about the show over there where you can look it up yourself.

So the second lesson I would say has to do with the power of Human Capital.

The absolute necessity. The one thing they had to take away from him before putting him in a fresh situation and having him start from scratch. They had to take away all of his contacts.

In other words, they gave him a cell phone with none of the connections that he had and he was not allowed to reach out to any of the connections that he had.

He wasn’t able to lean on family. He wasn’t able to lean on any of the people that he had connected with and anybody that has had any form of success in their life. That’s really true success. It’s really, you know, been that been something, something big for yourself where where you’ve, you feel like you’ve actually made something great. You know, the importance that the people around you have had on that.

And if you haven’t, your success will be short lived. It won’t last long. If you understand the importance of human capital, the importance of your contacts, the importance of your relationships.

We talked a little bit about relationship and what builds that yesterday when we’re discussing trust, but today I want to discuss the actual idea of having the relationships to begin with and how important that is. Anybody that builds himself up out of nothing. There’s really no such thing as a self made man.

I’ve talked in other times about self reliance on this channel and we talked about how really self-reliance is somewhat of a misnomer because you’re never really truly self reliant. The whole idea behind self-reliance is that you have as much reliance on yourself as possible so then you can help other people. You see it does matter. It does.

You should try to be as self efficient as possible, but actual self-reliance, actual self-made people, they don’t exist.

Business itself, the pure purest definition of business is the ability for you to be able to trade your ideas, trade your skills, trade anything that you can bring to the table for something else from someone else.

In most cases it’s money. In most cases we trade money initially for what we’re looking to provide for other people and vice versa.

That is what business is. Business is relationships, business is connections.

Who you’re connected with matters most. The main thing that he starts focusing on early in the early episodes is starting to go out there and connect with people, finding people who are then connected to the rest of the city because he’s in a city he’s never been to.

He’s in a city that he hasn’t been involved in and it’s kind of an up and coming city.

It’s one that had kind of peaked during the industrial age, in Pennsylvania, and it had peaked and dropped down and it was just now kind of building itself back up. And so he needed to get in on the inside.

He needed to find people who are familiar with the city, with other people that can connect him with other people. And he did. That’s the amazing thing.

Just the first few episodes you’ll see that he was able to do that. He was able to bounce from one person to the next to the next. It’s not about using people, it’s about understanding the value that every person brings and it’s really in the connections that they have in there. His ability to then grow a team off of those connections tied together with trust like we talked about yesterday, but the people are what matters most.

It’s not as much the ideas. The ideas will come with the right people. It’s not as much, even the execution, the execution comes with the right people.

He learned how to go about doing what he wanted to do as after he had already committed to doing it.

I’m not going to ruin any of it if you haven’t seen it, but you can see it all come about and what he’s basically doing to showing the business cycle that anyone that owns and runs a business, they’re showing it from beginning to end in a very short window, in a 90 day window.

It’s kind of on fast forward in comparison to what most of us end up doing when we go into business for ourselves. So it’s worth seeing, Undercover Billionaire. That’s lesson number two.

Tomorrow we’re going to go over lesson number three.

How many are we going to go over?

I don’t know. So far I definitely have one for tomorrow.

We’re going to go over it then. In the meantime, if you are looking to be able to take your business further, connect with the right people, find the people who can lead you in the right direction and kind of help you to really, I mean one of the toughest things as a business owner is being able to organize your thoughts and being able to a step by step plan, whether you’ve got a deadline or not.

Like this guy had 90 day deadline to be able to achieve a million dollar company.

That’s what he was after.

Then he had 90 days to be able to do it.

Now, whether you have a deadline or not, you should have a plan set up and if you don’t or if you need help in executing that plan, I suggest going out and finding yourself somebody that has a background in that.

Someone who has a direction, who has a concept of how to take a business from step one to step two to step three all the way to the end and can help you out with that. That has experience.

I happen to be one of those people so it’s very self serving for me to say this, but go to BrianJPombo.com if you’d like to find out more about me and see if I’d be somebody that would help be able to help you in your business.

I tend to work best with people who are already have successful businesses up and running.

Most of the businesses I work with are seven figures and up. I don’t hold it to that, but in general, those are the ones that I tend to work with the most because they tend to have everything already running and going in the right direction.
