Who’s got your ear?

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

I want to talk about who has your ear?

In other words, who are you listening to, who are you paying attention to, what are you paying attention to?

Because that one little thing can make all the difference in your life.

I mean, really, it’s the smallest things, it’s the thin threads that make such a huge difference. I was talking with a friend that I hadn’t spoken to for a while, and went to go visit him today, had all my kids with me. And we were just we’re kind of running some errands.

So I visited a friend, our minds were thinking about a lot of similar things. And one of the things we’re looking at is rentals. And I’m relatively new to the concept of having rentals and so forth. But I know a little bit about it, I have family that’s involved in it.

I have family that’s involved in vacation rentals. And he was in the process of building out one of his rental spaces.

And I had mentioned to him about all those my dad has vacation rentals and telling him about my experience. And I knew a little bit about Airbnb, I was one of the earliest people involved in Airbnb before it was a popular or well-known thing to do, I was renting apartment spaces, and so forth.

When I’d go on out on business, usually, we would grab an Airbnb somewhere, so it was always always a fun thing.

So it’s something I followed along with quite a bit. And we were calling back and forth. And I can tell at one point, he like something switch, she’s like, Oh, well, maybe I should look at making this vacation, rental.

And all of a sudden, something changed.

By the end of the time, when we’re getting ready to leave, he was saying thanks for mentioning that because that might make all the difference that could change how I’m going to be doing everything here, so to speak.

And it’s not like I set out to do anything like that. But one little concept, one little tweak, one little splinter in your mind can change everything, how you do things or how you look at things.

So you really got to pay attention to who you’re paying attention to who you’re surrounding yourself with, obviously, it’s that old adage about, you know, the top five or six people that you hang around with. If you take it just on an income basis, you take the top six people you hang around with, and you take all of your incomes, and you multiply, you add them together, and then you divide them up by the sum, you’ll end up with basically what most of you make on a yearly basis.

If you just take the annual incomes of everybody that we tend to fit whoever was around, and whoever we surround ourselves with.

So what are you plugging into?

Are you listening to podcasts?

Are you reading books?

Are you doing any other type of stimulation that is helping to change your thought patterns?

Helping to direct your mind in a positive direction?

Or in the direction that you want to go?

Are you doing that, and if not, why not?

Have you thought about it?

Are you considering it sit down and actually think about Okay, what are all the different things that I watch and listen to all throughout the day?

Who are the people that I hang around, at work and beyond?

Maybe you should look at plugging into some other areas, working with a mastermind, working with consultants plugging into some people listening to the right podcast.

So I’ve got a podcast out there that be great for most of you out there that are in business, especially if you’re an executive of your business or you’re the business owner. You’re in charge if you’re one of the decision-makers in your business. I got one for you.

Is It Who You Know or Who Knows You?

Is it who you know or who knows you?

Hi, I’m Brian Pombo welcome back to Brian J. Pombo Live. Today we’re going to discuss the ongoing, meme that’s kind of out there within the business community. I’ve heard it discussed more and more often ever since Grant Cardone came out and said, it’s not about who you know, it’s who knows you.

What do you think about that?

Do you think that’s true?

I think it’s a huge piece that is always forgotten is that who knows you is very important to how big you can get and how large your ability to network and your ability to grow with your business comes down to how many people know about your business, know about your products, your services, what have you.

But I think it’s both. I think it takes both.

I think it is about who you know, especially initially because no one’s going to know you initially.

It’s about who you know. And then eventually it’s about who knows you. I think those are two major elements that have to come together though you can’t have just one or the other. Otherwise there’s only going to be so large you can grow as a business, as a person that’s looking to create influence or have influence out in the community or the Earth’s community at large.

If you’re looking to get out there and really change things and really make a huge difference and make an impact, dent the universe as they say, then it does come down to who you know and who knows you.

In other words, relationships.

So I’ve talked before about the three pillars that make up a lot of the philosophy that I help train people on.

One of them is relationship reliant.

You need to be relationship reliant. You need to realize that all business is a relationship. Whether they know who you are or not, your customers have a relationship with your product and service.

If there’s a human behind that product or service, even just the likeness of a person, even if it’s someone that doesn’t, isn’t even walking around anymore like Colonel Sanders. If there’s someone there, if there’s an idea of a person there, they’re going to relate with it more and therefore relate with the brand more.

This has been proven over and over through time that people buy from people and people buy from people they trust. We’ve talked about that a lot.

So how do you build that back into your business?

Where do you go from there?

Well, sit back and look at the largest growth patterns that you’ve had in your business.

If you’re new at business, this is a great lesson to understand. Look at other businesses.

Read biographies from people that have done well in business or done well at any form of influence on the planet. It doesn’t matter if they’re a politician or a religious figure. It all comes down to relationships and being able to leverage one relationship to the next.

I was having a discussion today with my podcast producer, Sean E. Douglas, who also is a producer here for our video series. He was saying, if you look at all the different businesses that we have worked in through the years, the one thing is true is you bounce from relationship to relationship, to relationship to relationship.

It doesn’t matter if you’re a complete newbie to business young and maybe your first exploration into business is something like network marketing or direct sales or stuff like that. Same thing’s true.

The people who are able to bounce from relationship to relationship to relationship, not ignoring their original relationship, but being able to help that grow and have that person introduce you to someone else and then someone else, someone else, whether they’re a customer or a business partner of yours.

Being able to do that long-term builds huge success.

That’s how you have any form of exponential growth in a business, in an organization, in a movement, doesn’t matter. It all comes back to the relationships. Don’t ignore it, just because you may not naturally be a people person. I know some of you out there and saying, I don’t like people. I don’t want to be around people.

I know where you’re coming from on that, but you have to realize the nature of the beast. If you’re looking to make money from people, if you’re looking for people to do something that you want them to do, that you think is in their best interest to do or in the best interest of the earth or your religion or anything else, you’re going to have to have a relationship.

Someone’s going to have to have a relationship.

The person who has the most real direct, clear-cut, authentic relationships, those are the people that are really able to make a huge impact out there.

So keep that in mind as you’re growing.

When you’re looking at business strategies and you’re looking at growth strategies, look at which one will allow me to create more relationships.

I think you’ll find that that will be the best case scenario. That will be the best way for you to grow and not just think of addition, just adding one at a time in a very linear fashion.

You got to think multiplication, you got to think exponential growth in the long run.

How can one become 10 become a hundred and so on and so forth. So hopefully that’s helpful to you. Hey, if you’d like to discuss it.
