Speaking can build your business.

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

I gave a speech over the weekend, a small speech, a short speech, but it was one relating to my book, 9 Ways Amazon-proof your business, relaying it back to a group of business owners and their style of building business.

So that was, that was a lot of fun and I got a lot of great feedback on it. Actually sold some books, so that was fun. That which wasn’t even my intention to go and sell books, but I had some that were available for those that wanted them and so I was happy to do that.

Plus, if you happen to be watching this, and you bought one of those books, and you would like to give me any type of feedback afterward, good or bad or otherwise, I would love to hear it.

I will be happy to provide you with another free gift. I don’t know what that will be right off the bat. But I have a handful of things you may be interested in.

So get back to me go you could always go to my website, Brian J pombo.com. And if you’re interested in getting a free copy of my book you’re welcome to grab this to anybody watching, you get a digital copy, digital free digital copy, if you just want to read it, go check out AmazonProofBook.com.

So the book is all about how big competition is proof and so I gave a talk about it. And I got a lot out of that talk personally. Because every time you can verbalize more about what it is that you do, or verbalize more the thoughts that connect with what you do the ideas, the concepts, you can learn more about it then every bit than everyone else can.

It allows you to become more confident in what it is that you’re talking about. It allows you to be challenged a little more because you’re putting ideas out there. So you’re likely to get feedback that isn’t necessarily positive. And that’s okay.

But your look, you got to look for that type of thing. Doing any form of public speaking whatsoever cannot hurt your business, it can only help.

Not that you’re necessarily looking for a direct transaction right off the bat. But you might be that’s a different story. If you’re doing public speaking specifically, to sell something, that’s a different story.

What I’m saying is doing if you’re doing nothing but free public speaking, if you’re doing that, and getting a chance to talk about what it is that you do, this is a form of content marketing, it really is you’re giving people something that they can use right off the bat, while at the same time introducing them to you your ways of doing things your business, your cause your charity, your church, or whatever it is that you’re trying to get out there.

The main idea is if you can practice talking in front of people, one on one, either on a stage or in person, you know, one to many, or one to one, it doesn’t matter.

Even doing videos like this, if you have a chance to talk out your ideas to talk out your product, your service, and everything that surrounds it, and all the issues connected to that, from the perspective of who it is that you’re talking to.

That’s key. That’s very important.

If you can talk to them from their perspective, or from what you presume their perspective to be, then you can’t lose doing that you’ll get better and better and better. I was having a discussion with my friend Diana, earlier tonight.

We were talking about she was discussing wanting to become a better speaker. And then we were kind of throwing back ideas, things that we’ve heard things that we’ve known from other people, and how that could help.

And one of the things is just to get out and start doing that this is one of the principles of Toastmasters International, that’s a group of people that get together and practice speaking and practice discussing the concepts around public speaking.

It’s very, very interesting. It’s something I’ve always been interested in doing.

And if anyone out there is a big fan of Toastmasters, I’d love to talk with you and come on here and tell us your experiences. But talking about what it is that you do talking about your business, in public to other people. You can’t get enough of that practice. It’s only going to make everything better. It’s going to make your ideas better.

Whether the people listening actually hear you or not just you going through those motions is going to be is going to build you and what it is that you do. I’m hoping, I know I’m kind of just kind of keep saying the same thing over and over again here. But really, that’s what I do every night.

I say the same thing over and over in different ways, I bring up different examples to try and point to you ways of standing out.

Content marketing is one of those that you can use, that doesn’t require a stage. It doesn’t require anything else. But just talking out your ideas. This is so important to both getting attention and getting better at communicating, which is what it’s all about. In the end, you got to communicate your message to a whole lot of people.

You got to say the right things in the right way, in order for you for them to be able to follow you and for you to be able to have a following of what we would call a customer base or client base or whatever it is that you’re looking to produce.

So that’s all I have for tonight.

Hopefully, that’s helpful.

We’ll be back tomorrow. And in the meantime, get out there and let the magic happen.

Part 7, Brian gives us his closing thoughts on his interview with Bob Regnerus of Feedstories.

Transcription

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.

Books, Speaking & Podcast Interviews 📚🎙️ (Bob Regnerus of Feedstories Interview)

Bob from Feedstories talks about the power of writing a book, speaking opportunities and sharing your message in webinar and podcast interviews to help you grow your business.

Transcription

Brian: How do most people find you, how do they come across you end up becoming clients?

Bob: Well, two things that I’ve done that have been really powerful actually three things in my career.

The first thing is writing books.

There’s nothing like writing a book to establish yourself as an expert. I think it’s even over my shoulder here. Let’s see…yeah.

The first book I wrote was called, Big Ticket Ecommerce. And I was encouraged by a friend of mine, Victor Cheng, who’s an amazing consultant, who helped me put that together. And that’s what I use to grow my first seven-figure agency. So that was great.

Now when you write a book, you get clients, but you also get speaking opportunities.

The second best thing I’ve done in my career is speak from the stage. That’s how I’ve got influxes of clients.

And then speaking also applies to what we’re doing right here is I frequently speak on webinars and podcasts. And those three things really are what drive people coming in.

So you know, you get people that buy your book, people that hear you speak my calendars full because I’m putting it out there.

I’m doing the work every day, putting the content out there, developing relationships.

We get a lot of referrals to of course, but that’s how I grow is really just putting myself out there as an expert, sharing what I know, inspiring people and that leads to business.

Dan’s Interview with Clint Arthur – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OeY-kdvfFtU&feature=youtu.be

Dan Kennedy’s top three growth factors. Hi I’m Brian Pombo welcome back to the Orange Office in Grants Pass Oregon here once again for Brian J. Pombo Live.

Now we’re going to be talking about something that Dan Kennedy just recently brought up and yes, this is the same Dan Kennedy that a few days ago it was announced that he was in hospice and was not thinking that he’s going to be living much longer. We discussed that in some earlier videos. You can go back and look at that.

I wanted to bring up the latest interview that I’ve heard with him was done by a gentleman named Clint Arthur and I’m going to talk about that in a minute. I’ve also got the link in the description, so you can go check that out.

But if you are a business owner or an executive and you are looking to take your business from where it’s at to an absolute dream business, I’m going to encourage you to watch some more of my videos, see if we relate.

If we do go to DreamBizChat.com. At DreamBizChat.com you can watch the quick little video, eight and a half minutes long, gives you an idea of what I call the dream business transformation and if that’ll tell you whether you’d be a good fit for me or not. Just fill out the application and see if you qualify.

This video between Client and Dan is worth watching, worth listening to a Dan Kennedy’s half of it. He’s just coming in over the phone.

I wanted to point out one point that he made that I think applies well I know applies to you and applies to other people when it comes to businesses.

In our latest Off The Grid Biz Podcast episodes. We’ve been discussing, speaking and writing books and how that helps.

One of the things that Clint Arthur teaches is he teaches people how to do public speaking in order to promote whatever they’re looking to promote themselves, how to make themselves more of a celebrity or how, he calls it celebritize yourself.

I first ran into Clint Arthur is a few years back when he wrote a 21 Performance Secrets of Donald Trump. And it’s not a political book, but this was right when Donald Trump started running for president.

And all he did was he took a lot of the performance secrets that he could see exhibited that Donald Trump exhibited and he put it out in a book. So regardless of what you think about president Trump, these are lessons that you could learn that obviously eventually led to his becoming president. So it’s a great book. Great Book by Clinton Arthur. That’s when I was first introduced to him.

I think he did an interview for, I Love Marketing. I think that’s where I heard about him and I’ve been following him ever since. Really great guy. Interesting.

The reason why he was interviewing Dan Kennedy is he was supposed to attend this Living Legends of Entrepreneurial Marketing, which is happening at Carnegie Hall at the end of September.

You go find out more about that at livinglegends2019.com. That is Clint’s event. So you go check that out. I definitely recommend it.

And Martha Stewart is going to be there. A Dan Kennedy was meant to get a lifetime achievement award.

Whether he’ll be able to make it or not, it’s not looking like that’s the case, but from what we know, he’s still kicking. So hopefully Dan can pull through.

The three things that he mentions about business growth, it starts with Clint asking him, and it’s around six minutes in, where he’s asking him basically, Do you see anything that has a greater impact than speaking when it comes to business growth? In terms of your business?

Dan says, speaking has been by far the biggest boost to his business.

And he does a whole lot of things, but speaking has been huge piece of that. He goes through all the reasons why and how you can use speaking to increase your business or whatever deal that you’re working with and whatever you’re trying to promote.

So he says there’s nothing that works better than being on stage and being a walking, talking example of what you’re talking. Whatever you’re discussing, having that real tangible visibility makes the biggest difference for your business.

The second thing he says that other people work on, is getting themselves into the media. Which is another thing that Clint Arthur teaches is how to get yourself into media. That’s already out there.

So whether it be news media, whether it be entertainment, all the different forms of media that are out there. How you can insert yourself into that conversation.

He says that’s another big thing. That’s the second one that he recommends.

The third thing is writing and, or just pushing content, any form of content out into the world, similar to what we’re doing right here. Just pushing content out into the world.

If you’re able to do enough of that, that will also be a huge boost your business. So these are three things just off the top of his head that he says are some of the biggest, expansions in business growth.

These are some things, the tools that you can use. So those are three things. We talk about, all those things a lot here. And I look to talk more about in the future.

Dan Kennedy is very topical because of his recent announcement of being in hospice. So we hope Dan can pull through and even if he can’t, he’s, he’s lived one hell of a life. It’s been really great listening to a lot of his old audios and stuff that are out there, and it’s great to hear a fresh interview like this.

I’m not sure if this is the last interview that he’s done, but it’s worth going and listening to if you get a chance.

Tomorrow we’re going to be discussing another aspect of how you can be able to promote your business. So come back tomorrow. We’ll be talking about that. Then in the meantime, 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.
