Distance Creates Clarity.
Hi, I’m Brian Pombo welcome back to Brian J. Pombo Live.
Today I wanted to have a quick message regarding distance in a business. Let me switch this camera around first, get a little more centered here. Okay. Distance is all about, well, let’s talk about clarity.
If you have a problem in your business, more than likely it has to do with you not having enough clarity about an issue.
I know that’s kind of an obvious point, but how do you create clarity?
How do you get clarity back?
Because when you started the business, you had clarity about where you were going. You had clarity up until a certain point in any given scenario.
So one of my clients today was dealing with marketing and she was looking at creating more clarity in where she should be taking her marketing because she had ideas, she had some concept of direction, but not whole lot of clarity on terms of what goes in what timeframe and how much emphasis to put in one area or another.
So how do you create that?
Well, if you’re in a situation where you need more clarity, you need distance. It’s a matter of distance and it’s not necessarily physical distance.
Although physical distance helps.
So for example, if I’m in a situation where I’m lost in something having to do with my business, I’m not quite sure how to handle it or I have too many spinning plates and I’m not sure which to focus on next. I’ve got all these things that need to get done. I don’t know what to do.
I get in my car, I find something to do out of town. I drive an hour or more.
This is just me personally. What helps me is to get in the car away from everything. I don’t have the radio turned on. If I do, I’ve got something kind of playing in the background that doesn’t take a whole lot of my thought.
It’s just kind of playing in the background and kind of stirring my thoughts around and I just kind of let everything go for a bit and back away from it.
That physical distance helps me make mental distance from everything and all of a sudden the back end, you could say it’s a subconscious mind. You could say it’s your intuition.
You could say it’s some higher source that’s feeding you energy.
I don’t know, but something starts to occur where all the pieces start going into place, but it’s because I’ve taken the physical distance is more of a more of a concept with with where I’m at right now.
It’s the mental distance that I take from the problem that allows me to see it a little bit more clearly. I walk away from it, I step away from it, I unplug from it.
I get away physically from everything that’s kind of enforcing it.
So if I’ve been around in my office for a long time, I get out of the office. If I’ve been around the household and all these concepts are still in my head, then everything around me is kind of tainted with those concepts, with those ideas.
I get away from all of them, right. Distance creates clarity.
So how do you do that if you can’t physically get away from things?
If you can’t stop thinking about something, bring someone else in, bring someone else in to get inside your head and lay everything else out on the table. So with my friend today, I was helping her and she’s a client, but also a friend and I helped her take her business from square one and take it and put it all out on the table.
Okay, where are we going?
How are we going to get there?
What’s going to be the things that are in the way and what’s it going to take?
What’s working right now?
What has been working, what could be working better, what’s necessary to be able to reach the end goal?
Like we always talk about if you have an idea of a large goal, you don’t break it down a little further and say, okay, where do we need to be by the end of the year and so forth.
And then just mapping out the steps to get there and having someone come in and pull you out of your head and out of your emotions creates distance, clarity.
Then comes up out of nowhere and all of a sudden it’s like, Oh yeah, that makes sense. It’s the most common thing I get from clients is after we go through this process, it’s a little situation I call the Worthington Method.
When I take people through that, by the end they almost always, unless they’re still stuck in it somewhere and they’re not hearing me as long as they’re able to come up out of it a little bit and create a little bit of distance, they said, Oh that makes sense.
I don’t come up with the solution. They come up with the solution, but the solution becomes obvious when you are able to have distance.
So it’s just a quick little idea.
