Scheduling in chaotic times.

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

I want to talk a little bit about the scheduling process and how scheduling does not need to take place 24/7. But for certain items, when things are the most chaotic, that’s when you need the scheduling the most.

It doesn’t mean you need to organize everything and keep everything under control, it just means certain things need to keep going or have their space to them. I’ll give you a great example.

I apologize, first off for my voice, had a long weekend in Las Vegas, Nevada. And it was very dry, a little bit more dry than I’m used to for this time of year.

Just between staying up late and talking with all my friends, business associates, it was really a lot of fun had a great time, there was more activity in terms of actual work to get done there than I expected.

Normally, I always have a period before bed that I’m able to kind of sneak off and do a video for you, well, we were able to get power one.

But the rest of the time, I wasn’t able to do any, because I was either so exhausted, I mean to the point where I could not keep my eyes open, or so certainly wouldn’t be able to provide any value for you.

Or there just wasn’t enough time, there were some nights where I wasn’t sleeping hardly at all. So it was just one of those things that’s to be expected.

As things grow with any type of business, you have to expect a little bit of chaos. And so for next time, I will definitely pre-schedule when I’m going to do these and make sure I have enough energy to be able to reach you on the regularity that you’re used to.

So and that’s for all of you that are watching this relatively recent, this was recorded in late January 2021, excuse me 2022.

If you’re watching this anytime, way off in the future, just ignore that part. But understand the principle.

The principle is, if you’ve got a scenario, where there are certain things that you don’t want to miss, have it scheduled, and have not just a reminder necessarily on your phone, if you’re anything like me, those are really easy to ignore, because you end up getting really good at putting reminders on then you have too many reminders, and then you just start ignoring them.

But if you can make it to where you have people that remind you actual people that you know, an assistant, anybody at all that you can help keep your schedule in order. Or at least remind you when those important things are do to get done. And make sure they get done.

That’s really important.

Especially if you’re dealing in a territory that is new for you if you’re in a new area. If you’re working with new people, it’s really easy to lose track and lose the good habits that you built up. Hopefully, that’s helpful to you.

Day one of Brian’s business trip out in Las Vegas.

Sam’s Town Hotel and Casino Las Vegas.

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

This is an unusual type of episode you can hear in the background if you’re not watching. There’s a huge waterfall over here, we’ll go take a look at that in a moment.

If you’re wanting to see this and all you can do is hear it, be sure and go to BrianJPombo.com, and you can watch the video that goes along with this.

Now, I’m going to flip this around. Like I said, this is going to be an unusual video.

Now flip this around to show you what I see.

The current software I’m using doesn’t allow me to flip it while I’m in the middle. And I’m not gonna sit and edit all this around. So I’m gonna flip, I’m going to physically flip my phone around to show you this is giant for one thing that you’ll see.

I’m not sure how well you can see there’s a lot of greenery in here, fake and otherwise, but look at this giant waterfall structure, giant rock thing going, Oh, I don’t know, probably four storeys high.

You look a little higher, you can see the entire entire hotel goes all the way around. And it’s a giant atrium. Pretty cool. Lots of fun.

This is a neat, neat feature. I haven’t seen this before. And trying to figure out how to get my mask off of my headphones here.

This is I know this is thrilling to watch, I want to tell you a little bit about something I experienced here, which was rather different.

They’ve got these animatronic animals that are making sounds that you constantly so if you hear an owl, or a if you hear an owl or a bear, or a lion, mountain lion, start making noise at us.

That’s what you’re hearing is animatronic animals, and they’ve got, you know, fake insects through the speakers and everything else.

It’s kind of reminiscent if you’ve ever been if you’ve ever been into a sorry for the horrible camera.

Like if you’ve ever been into a Bass Pro Shop, it’s kind of like that.

And so it’s it’s really a neat place to go to I’m here for a conference for a convention, and having a lot of fun.

Just so far not nothing official has started. And I’ve gotten to see a lot of people that I know, that are having a really good time. But here’s the experience that I came across the side, Sam’s Town seems like a really cool place, it’s very clean.

If you’re looking for a place to visit when you’re in Las Vegas, this is off of the strip. So it’s interesting.

But the thing about this place is when we got here, there was only one person working the front desk.

This is of course an issue of the horrible situation we’re going through now in early 2022, to where we have a real lack of workers, people willing to work, or people willing to pay enough to get workers.

You have the people that are working have during the toughest time, the lady that I got to meet who’s working her name’s Cindy, she is very good with dealing with a very stressful situation.

Because we had a long line had to wait in line a long time just to get checked into our rooms. And it’s just not fair.

I don’t know whose fault it is but it’s a serious situation that you’ve got to deal with. And you have to be ready for it.

If you’re in a heavy service based business, you have to be ready for the blowback that’s going to come from it.

Nowadays, people posting videos like this and I’m not going to tear down the establishment or anything for having this circumstance. But it’s a reality and it’s something you got to be ready for both as a consumer and a business owner.

So hopefully, you found that somewhat interesting and get out there and start experiencing some cool places like this.

There’s places like this all over the country, let alone the world.

You gotta get out there and document that show other people get other people interested in moving, the more we move and get around and start talking to people the better.

So hopefully you found this helpful or interesting or otherwise, go check out my book, 9 Ways to Amazon-Proof Your Business. You can get a free copy at AmazonProofBook.com.

I have a friend here who’s going to have me sign the book he brought his copy along from all the way across the country which is pretty cool I’ll see you tomorrow in the meantime get out there and let the magic happen.
