What is the sixth key to growth?

Hi I’m Brian Pombo welcome back to Brian J. Pombo Live brought to you live every day. Today from Grants Pass, Oregon.

I forgot to turn our light on back here. Let me turn that on. There we go. Gotta have the lamp light going and then I’m going to bring up this. This has something to do with what the sixth key to growth is and there are seven keys to growth and this is kind of how I would define what I call the Worthington Method.

The Worthington Method helps businesses take a direction that they’re wanting to go and making it reality.

So it’s really creating that dream business and if you’re looking to create that dream business out of the business that you already have, go to DreamBizChat.com.

DreamBizChat.com you can watch a quick video and it’ll tell you all about it.

So just go check it out. Let me know what you think.

Especially if you’re a business owner or an executive in the self-reliance field. I think you’ll find it quite interesting, DreamBizChat.com. The link is in the description.

So what’s the sixth key to growth? Up till now we’ve had videos on all the other keys.

They include the first one define a destination, second one was identifying the obstacles. Third Identifying the assets. The fourth one was assessing specific numbers. I’ve got my cheat list right over here, so I keep looking over. And then the fifth one is defining the straight line.

The sixth one has to do with laying out a single tactic.

That has everything to do with this book right here. And if you haven’t read this book, make sure you go out and get it.

I don’t get paid for saying this, but this book by Gary Keller and Jay Papasan, The One Thing. Killer book, great book, regardless of what you’re looking to do in life, if you are looking to do something on a regular basis and really make a splash, this is a book that you have to read.

It’s all about productivity and it’s about simplifying.

It’s about making things easier and easier way to get where you want to go.

Now the main focus of their book is all around this one question, the same question and that question is, I’m going to go, I’ve got the page already saved here.

What’s the one thing I can do such that by doing it, everything else will be easier or unnecessary.

What’s the one thing?

So if you throw that into the Worthington Method, we’ve already defined where we want to go.

So the question is, what’s the one thing that you can do right now knowing that you know the assets, knowing that you know your numbers.

You know what obstacles are staying in your way for the long-term. What is the one thing that you could do right now that can take you closer to the destination that you’ve defined?

That’s what the sixth step is all about, is coming up with what that one thing thing is. And then moving towards and really quantifying it.

Saying, what’s the one thing. The way I like to think about it usually in terms of businesses, because most of my clients I meet with on a weekly basis, I will give them one thing to consider for a week or a month.

So it’s either a week or a month based goal. Either you’ve got to get this done within a week or within a month or we’re taking a piece of it that they have to get done in a week or a month and just focusing on doing that one thing, not on all the other steps that are necessary to get to this huge dream goal at the end.

It’s what’s the what that first big step going to take for you.

That’s what the six sixth step is about when we’re talking about the Worthington Method and what we’re talking about tonight, so hopefully that makes sense to you. Like I say, all these things start coming together tomorrow night.

The final one piece of the puzzle of The Worthington Method number seven. We’re going to go over that tomorrow night. Come on back then, and if you have any questions, leave a comment down below.

Also, you can go check out past videos and the audios from the videos over at the website, BrianJPombo.com. You have a great night. Get out there and let the magic happen.

So Discipline is Fake.

Hi folks, this is Brian J. Pombo. Welcome to Brian J. Pombo Live.

We’re here in Grants Pass Oregon, but we’re not in the Orange Office. As you can see by the color back here, this is going to be the new office, which is yet to be named.

You can possibly hear the echo, a little bit of reverb from the fact that it’s extremely empty, nothing on the walls, nothing on the floors. Still a lot that needs to be filled in. It’s just me in a chair in an empty room.

Today we’re going to be talking a little bit about self-discipline and another little excerpt from this book, the one thing by Gary Keller and Jay Papasan.

Awesome book. Go and get it today. Just going to read a quick quote out of it, and this has to do with self-discipline and kind of the myth behind self-discipline, and this is something I definitely seen about myself.

I’m wondering if you see the same thing, you don’t need to be a disciplined person to be successful. In fact, you can become successful with less discipline than you think.

For one simple reason, success is about doing the right thing, not about doing everything right.

Success is about doing the right thing, not about doing everything right and I love this.

Next that this next excerpt says, the trick to success is to choose the right habit and bring just enough discipline to establish it. That is it.

That’s all the discipline you need. As this habit becomes part of your life, you’ll start looking like a disciplined person, but you won’t be one.

What you will be is someone who has something regularly working for you because you regularly worked on it. You’ll be a person who use selected discipline to become, to build a powerful habit.

This is all about habit building and if you understand that it’s not about being perfect in everything that you do, but finding the right thing to do and then building a habit out of it, have it repetitive enough on a daily basis if at all possible, like we talk about over and over again with daily content like this, which I’m just barely squeaking in just before the midnight hour so that we can make it for this day of our daily videos, which were in the hundreds right now of consecutive daily videos.

Thank you for so much for joining me. Go back and watch some of the others. Listen to some of the others.

Tell me what you think. I’d love to get some more comments and more feedback. I always love feedback, positive or negative.

If you are a business owner or an executive of a self-reliance based business, maybe you have services or products that help people to become more self-reliant. You’re someone I’d like to talk to. Go to DreamBizChat.com the link is in the description, DreamBizChat.com. If you go there, you’ll see a quick video, eight and a half minutes of me discussing the dream business transformation.

If you think you qualify for it, make sure and fill out the application on that page. It’s a very simple, straight-forward page. Once again, let me know what you think. Tomorrow, we are going to be in an entirely different state.

Right now I’m sitting in Southern Oregon, but we’re going to be in one of the others. It is neither Hawaii or Alaska. It’s in the 48 one of the 48 consecutive states. I’m giving more clues every video and it is in, well, let’s just say it’s two hours difference from here. We’ll see it tomorrow. Get out there and let the magic happen.

How Do You Focus?

One thing. Just one thing.

How do you focus?

Hi, I’m Brian Pombo welcome back to the Orange Office in Grants Pass Oregon. It’s a lovely day today. I spent most of the day outside working on a new new adventure for me actually. You’ll be learning more about it next month at the beginning of October.

Here we are at the beginning of September. By the time the beginning of October comes around, we’re going to have a new office. We’re going to have a new adventure to talk about. So stay tuned for that.

Later on this week, I am going to be coming to you live from a whole nother state and none of the states that are near Oregon. It’s beyond that as for a little bit of a clue. And I’ll tell you more about that when we get there. So see if you can guess which state it is.

Today we’re talking about the second lesson that I learned from this book. The One Thing, the subtitle of this is the surprisingly simple truth behind extraordinary results by Gary Keller.

Also with Jay Papasan. Jay, thank you very much. I saw that you saw one in the videos and I forgot to mention your name. I always remember to say Gary Keller’s name because it’s on the front, but Jay I’m sure was a huge, huge benefit to this, with his background and I have a feeling that his organization of this material made this book extremely enjoyable and very readable.

One that you could go back to over and over and over again because it focuses on principles that never go away. This is one of those books that I recommend any business owner read because it’s such hardcore principles and this is one of the main ones that the whole book comes to and it regards the focusing question.

This is in chapter 10, The Focusing Question. So much of the book is wrapped around this concept.

And if you can get just a piece of this, this is one thing I’ve gone back to over and over again ever since coming across it a year or two ago when I came across this question and it’s dynamically changed my business in my life and how I’m able to help other business owners at the same time. So listen to this, I’m gonna read this straight out of the book.

Anyone who dreams of an uncommon life eventually discovers there’s no choice but to seek an uncommon approach to living it.

That’s a deep issue unto itself. If you haven’t realized that yet, if to get something uncommon, you’ve got to live in an uncommon way. If you haven’t gotten that yet, you’re either in the right place or you’re in the wrong place because you need to get that point.

The focusing question is that uncommon approach. In a world of no instructions, it becomes a simple formula for finding exceptional answers that lead to extraordinary results. Now here’s the question itself. I’ll see if you can wrap your mind around this. What’s the one thing I can do such that by doing it, everything else will be easier or unnecessary? I’m going to say that again.

What’s the one thing I can do such that by doing it, everything else will be easier or unnecessary and the concept behind this is is is there one thing that you can do that will make everything else you do either in that day or in your year or what have you, either easier or unnecessary.

Is there one answer? The idea of having a bunch of dominoes lined up in a row, you know how you align them all up and you push one, the others hit the other ones.

But what if each domino was a little bit bigger and you pushed over a big domino that hit a slightly smaller one in a slightly smaller walk slightly as well. It’s much more likely that all of them will be hit right, and that’s the visualization that they produce in this book. What’s the one thing you could be doing right now?

This is how you bring everything back into focus. This is how you determine what you should be doing every day. This is how you determine what you should bet, what your focus should be during the whole week or the whole month.

See it doesn’t matter whether it’s on the macro, the microcosm or the macrocosm, you know, it doesn’t matter whether you’re dealing with something very specific of what I should be doing right now or what, where my focus should be beyond, you know, in the next five, 10 years, like we were talking about yesterday.

If you don’t have a very clear idea about where you’re looking to go in the next five to 10 years, you’re going to have a tough time really seriously determining what you should be doing right now and that all these things, it’s not, it’s not rocket science.

Sometimes what you should be doing right now, it pops up out of nowhere. You get a phone call, something else, and all of a sudden your priorities change. But this is all about prioritizing. This is all about having a priority to begin with. It doesn’t mean that these things should take over your life.

You should still live in the moment, but you should always ask yourself, what’s the one thing that I could be doing right now such by doing it will make everything else either unnecessary or easier. That’s the focusing question that could possibly change your entire business life.

If you can wrap your mind around that and to find out more, go and get this book. I don’t get any, any, any kickback for this. Go and get the one thing. The audio version is really great.

The physical version is great to have on hand. If you’re going back and look and looking back at specific sections, there’s so many, so many great nuggets in there that I could take and ponder on or pass along to somebody like you today that is just priceless.

Hopefully that’s helpful to you. Tomorrow we’re gonna go over a third idea. Like I said, I don’t only have three ideas out of this that have made a big change for me, but I’m going to talk about a third one just within this series of videos. You go back and watch yesterday’s video come back tomorrow.

If this was interesting to you, I suggest going back and watching some of my other videos, listening to some of my other audios, if you’re hearing this on the podcast and see if you think that we get along.

See if you think that, “Hey this guy might actually know what he’s talking about and he’d be able to help me focus and get me going in the right direction.” Maybe take my business from where it’s at to really the ideal of where I know it can be.

If that sounds like you and you’re in the self reliance field, meaning you have, you have products or services that help people to become more self reliant and you’re a decision maker in your business, meaning you’re the business owner or you’re an executive in that, in that business, go to DreamBizChat.com you can click on the link in the description or you go straight there, DreamBizChat.com.

Just type it in and there’s a video, eight and a half minutes long. Watch it. It sounds like something that you would qualify for. Go and fill out the application and we’ll see if we can talk tomorrow.

Like I said, we’re going to deal with the third out of the three top ideas that I got out of the one thing and so we’ll see you then. In the meantime, get out there and let the magic happen.
