What's Your Emergency

http://DreamBizChat.com

Oh boy. Making it in the very nick of time.

What’s your emergency?

Hi this is Brian Pombo welcome back to Brian J. Pombo Live.

Today, not coming in live from Grants Pass. Actually, we’re in Redding, California on our way back to California to go meet with some family members for the lovely time of Thanksgiving.

We’re kind of in a situation here where we’re stuck in a hotel because we had to go down a day early and we had to get out late and we wanted to beat some bad weather coming. Actually going two days earlier than expected.

So this is quite fun.

I’m in a stairwell right now and had to get online right away at the last minute of today. I think we’re onto the next day already. For our daily videos. So here we are for this day and the question is, what’s your emergency today?

I got to speak with Dave and Beth Pruitt of AMP-3.net.

AMP-3 is over at, at AMP-3.net. You can go and check them out.

They’ve got a great little website on emergency preparedness and very specific on emergency preparedness. Really good stuff.

There’s an interview coming up on The Off The Grid Biz Podcast that I got to interview them today one-on-one with, and this is a two part interview.

So you’re going to want to keep your eyes open for that one.

Their whole deal is helping people to prepare for emergencies long before they happen so that by the time they happen, you know exactly how to handle where to go from there, How does that apply?

We ended up in a little bit of an emergency today where we had to pack super quick and get out before the bad weather was going to hold us back from possibly making the trip altogether, making the trip down south at all.

So we were able to make it in he Nick of time. I was able to get on here and be able to deliver this message to you and really discuss.

I want you to think about all the emergencies that could come up in your business, in your life and ways that you can get around them ahead of time before they happen.

What are the ways that you can help keep emergencies from being too big of a deal?

If you were making or possibly quadruple the income into your business.

If you were making quadruple the income from your business that you’re making right now, would that give you the ability to have the flexibility to be able to deal with any type of emergencies in your business whatsoever?

If all of a sudden your marketing started to fail.

If all of a sudden your ability to reach your customers, in any sense, was shut down something you had no control over whatsoever.

A great example of this is the emergency crisis down in California right now having to do with PGNE.

PG&E is a Pacific Gas & Electric Company and they handle California’s electricity and they’re in a fight with the state over all number of things. They came out and said, well, because of all of the bad weather and everything else, we’re going to have to shut down people’s electricity.

So in some cases could be up to a week that they will be without electricity. Many people across the state found their electricity shut down for really no clear reason why. And what happens when you’re in a situation where you you don’t have that control and it’s taken away from you?

How do you handle it?

How would your business handle it?

Would you be able to handle it if your business had no electricity?

If all the different things that could happen….your website goes down. Would you be able to handle it?

Do you have the resources capable?

Do you have a game plan in case those things happen?

Are you growing quickly enough?

Where if something like that happened, it wouldn’t damage you long-term. If you were shut down for a couple of weeks perhaps, or a month within your business, would it shut your business down completely?

These are all great questions to ask.

You’ve got to think about emergency preparedness, not just for yourself but for your business.

We’re going to talk more about that in the future.

I hope you have a great night.

Go and check out his channel over on YouTube, and we’re going to talk about how YouTube is changing some rules, how that may affect you, whether you’re on YouTube or not, and how you can get around them in the long run.

So have a great night. In the meantime, get out there and let the magic happen.

Leverage in Your Business

Leverage in Your Business

Leverage in your business.

Hi I’m Brian Pombo welcome back to BrianJPombo.com and Brian J. Pombo Live.

Today we’re on site, I’m working on a rental property right now and I wanted to show you something that reminded me of business. I’m taking these nails out of this piece of wood here and what I’ve got here is a little crowbar thing. This is called a wonder bar.

With this, what you’ve got is you’ve got a very simple principle that allows you to take something that’s a little difficult. You could use like the claws of a hammer, the backend of a hammer to pull this out. You start with this end and pull it out like that.

If you could see that and then that one brought it all the way out.

But I want to show you something so we could get it started with this end, but you get to a point where it’s a little bit more difficult.

So there’s another end here.

That you put in and you pull out that way.

Now why would you use one over the other?

It’s leverage.

It’s the right tool for the right end. It’s also got one on the very end that you could use, so you’ve got this. In that end.

Why do we do this?

Why don’t we use anything else?

This works on a very simple principle of physics called leverage your business needs.

Leverage.

Your business is leverage.

Your business is a chance for you to make your customer’s lives better, easier, simpler, and also if it’s no good, if it doesn’t make your life better and simpler and easier, it’s all about leverage.

It’s about finding little machines.

Your business is a machine.

Finding a machine that makes your life better, that enhances in some way, that brings something better to things within that machine.

There’s points of leverage and there’s things that you could always be making better and better and better.

That’s where the 80/20 principle comes in.

If you don’t know much about that, go look it up or watch some of my videos on it over at BrianJPombo.com.

Also check out the media section there for all my other videos.

If you are in the self-reliance field, meaning you help people to do things for themselves, help people to become more and more self-reliant, then you’re someone I’d like to talk to.

In the meantime, just get out there and let the magic happen.

The Main Thing You Need

The Main Thing You Need

http://DreamBizChat.com

The main thing you need.

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

I’ve got a quick one for you tonight and if I can take my entire philosophy on why I do what I do and why I help business owners in the space that I do. It comes down to one main thing.

If you look at the whole spectrum of what I ended up doing in the process of working with business owners is I help them to one kind of designate what they’re looking to get, what they’re hoping ideally their business is going to provide for them and secondly, mapping out a plan. Thirdly, helping them go through the process for that plan point by point by point and making sure that it works.

Then next setting up systems to help make sure that that plan is going forever, that it has an ongoing life to it.

Then it doesn’t require them constantly that they have the ability, if they desire to be able to step away or at least not be as important to their business as they are in the very beginning.

But if you boil it down to its most basic form, what I’m really hoping people to do is number one, trust themselves.

Having confidence that what you’re doing and that you know what the right thing to do is you just gotta step forward and do it. And to realizing your limitations.

We all have limitations.

There’s just always so much that each of us get.

There’s only so much that we all have that is possible to do unto ourselves that no matter what, if you’re really gonna make a dent in life, if you’re really gonna make a big difference, you’re going to have to trust in other people.

So you’re gonna have to know what you’re good at and be confident in that, but also know what your weaknesses are and where you need other people to fill in.

If I can help you discover those things and help you fill in those things and back you up where you need to be backed up, then my job’s done. That’s what my business life is all about.

And the people that I work with are people that are looking for them and their lives and hopefully I can help.

Well then find a way to find it.

So hopefully that’s helpful for you. If you’d like to be able to talk with me about your business and how it relates back to your life and how we can fill in the gaps. Go to BrianJPombo.com go check that out.

I know this was all just a big, long commercial. Me, me, me, me, me, but hopefully the concept of the pattern helps you, even if you work with me or not.

If you’re able to take some of these concepts and include them into what you’re doing into your life so that you have a clear understanding of where you’re going. Think about your business and what you are able to provide for other people through your products and services.

How can you distill that down into a very straightforward philosophy?

Can you pull it down to the brass tacks and say the main, what is the main thing that you’re providing for people on an ongoing basis? I’d love to hear your answers. Leave me a comment. Otherwise go to DreamBizChat.com the link is in the description, especially if you’re in this business.

Do You Meet Them In-Person?

Do You Meet Them In-Person?
Justin Lair & John DeSpain – Fiber Light Fire Starters

A question for you. Do you meet them in person?

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

Today we’re going to be discussing the difference between having an online business. A business that distance versus a business that is one on one with people.

Now, most of the people that end up listening to this podcast or watching these videos oftentimes have a business that is virtual, so at least you probably do your business since from people you probably do most of your business online. This is very common.

Now, if you don’t, then this also applies to you. If you don’t have an online business, I’m going to suggest that you look into adding in online elements that’s talked about at nauseum from everybody out there, right?

But I want to talk to the people that have online businesses initially encourage you to do the opposite of what most people are encouraged you to do.

I’m going to encourage you to meet your customers in-person.

Find a way to meet them in person. It changes the entire dynamic of the relationship that you end up having and how they see you, how they view you.

It’s all changes when they at least have the ability to meet you in person.

So think about anybody that you’ve purchased, anything from online, whether it be a faceless corporation company like Amazon.com or like a company that actually has a personality behind it.

Think of any of the places, maybe you purchase from authors, you know, a book from your favorite author or music from your favorite artists, whatever.

Imagine the difference between having that, that one way relationship of getting it, enjoying it, having fun with it and that’s fine. But then imagine seeing them in concert.

It adds another element to it.

Imagine meeting them and having your book signed.

Imagine being able to go to a convention where where someone’s speaking or that you can actually go up and meet and shake their hand.

It adds an element to everything that so much of our world right now is virtual. We’re all living through our cell phones.

You know, we’re all living through this virtual world where it’s not real enough and you see this being voiced a lot from younger people who don’t feel like they’re really experiencing life, that they feel that they’re missing out.

And a lot of us who got to experience a lot of life pre-internet before the internet got big.

I think we take it for granted and you have to consider the value that you provide when you’re there in person.

It goes both ways.

For one thing, you’re providing a value to them that they appreciate and goes, it goes to a deeper level where they end up seeing you in a different light after they’ve been able to see you in person.

But then there’s also the other side, if you are able to see your customers, talk to them, discuss with them, see what their other interests are like. See them as an actual human being versus just a name on the other end of cyberspace.

If you can do that, you’ll find value in that. Now, there was an interview that I did with Justin Layer and John DeSpain of Fiber Light Fire Starters.

You can find that over on my website OffTheGridBiz.com and I have a link in the description for that one, that particular episode. One of the main areas that they focus on is going to events specifically.

They’re in the outdoors door niche and so they go to a lot of outdoors events, outdoor based events, and get to really interact one-on-one with their customers. And they spend a lot of time talking about that.

We go back and forth all that well on that interview Off The Grid Biz Podcast that’s at OffTheGridBiz.com.

Go and check that out.

Find a way and I guarantee it, if you have a business that you cannot get in direct contact with your customer or, or whoever you’re going after, there’s a way for you to do it.

Leave a comment down below if you think that there’s not a way and explain to me what your business is.

How there’s not a way for you to get in direct contact with your customer. You need to get in person with them. It’s important for you and it’s important for them.

It can add enormous growth to your business. There are live conferences, conventions about everything and there are many of those that you can plug into.

Even if you don’t go officially, you know, paying for a table or a booth, maybe you go with your t-shirt on that has the name of your business and you just go around and talk to people.

It just takes getting out there and having the discussions and bringing the real world into the virtual world.

You’ll be happy you did.

You’ll be happy what you gain from it, but you’ll also be happy with what your customers gained from it.

So if you’d like to be able to talk about some of these issues regarding your business, I’d love to be able to talk with you, especially if you’re in the self reliance field like Justin and John from Fiber Light Fire Starters, go to DreamBizChat.com.

There’s a little video there you can watch. Go check it out. The link is in the description.

Also, we have my other materials over at BrianJPombo.com. Including videos just like this one.

So you have a great night.

We’re going to see you back here tomorrow where we’ll go through another concept that will hopefully help your business and really take you out of where you’re at and put you exactly on track to where you want to be.

So you have a great night. Get out there and let the magic happen.

From Gratitude to Goal Setting

From Gratitude to Goal Setting

http://DreamBizChat.com

Gratitude to goal setting.

Hi I’m Brian Pombo welcome back to Brian J. Pombo Live. Filmed every day live.

Today we’re coming to you from Grants Pass, Oregon here at the headquarters for BrianJPombo.com and we’re going to be talking about gratitude and goal setting.

Really, in terms of the holiday season, it occurred to me today as I was sitting back and looking at what has occurred over the last couple of years for me. I’m very grateful, for lack of a better word blessings that have happened in my life.

You know, really great things. Stuff you couldn’t even plan for honestly.

A lot of stuff that came with hard work and a lot of the things that I can see in the near future and the present that are all happening because partially from hard work and paying attention and doing what doing what you need to do and at the same time just magical serendipities that just happened along the way.

Stuff you can’t possibly plan for and I was thinking about the holidays and it hit me that we start the holiday season every year, just around Halloween time and Halloween’s fun and it really doesn’t have a deep meeting to it, at least from my perspective.

But then you’ve got Thanksgiving, and Thanksgiving is a very specific time of gratitude.

It’s all about being grateful for what you have and what you’ve gone through and the blessings that have happened in your life. I can see that and there’s a lot of people talk a lot about gratitude nowadays or being grateful and some people say there’s different definitions of that.

I’m not gonna go into the depth of those definitions, I think, you know what I mean. It’s all about really giving thanks, for where you’re at and just acknowledging that you’re still alive, you’re still breathing.

If you don’t have great health, you probably have decent health. If you don’t have decent health, you’re still alive. You’re still hanging in there.

So no matter what, you always have something to be grateful for.

Let alone if you’ve had great successes or anything else with your life, but then that always seems to contradict.

I think a lot of us think that that contradicts the concept of goal setting and of, you know, growing into the future and the whole push that they’re even starting right now for new years in terms of setting your resolutions.

The goal setting, the big goal for the new year and all that, all that stuff.

It’s funny to me because I think that both are necessary to an extent. I’m not a big new year’s resolution person and I’m not a big, you know, I’m going to put out a huge post on how all the things I’m thankful for for during Thanksgiving.

I think both those concepts need to be happening all year round.

I know that’s cliche, I know, but I honestly think that those two things specifically need to be happening in conjunction with each other. You can’t just be sitting back and say all how great my life is, how wonderful my life is. All this is just wonderful.

Every day I wake up in the morning, I just look out outside and just just smile and just amazement of how wonderful everything is because if you’re like that, you’ll never go anywhere and you’ll never grow and you’ll never be probably what you’re supposed to be.

On the other hand, you shouldn’t be just full on goal setting all the time.

You shouldn’t be just future, future, future based and just in you’re stuck in your head.

In terms of a selfish goal, that probably isn’t the right way of doing it either, but at the same time though, there’s a balance there.

I think to be able to move forward and to be able to enjoy what you like to have or where you see yourself going in the future. In order to enjoy those rewards, you have to enjoy the rewards you have by being in the present moment right now.

You got to see where you’re at, appreciate where you’re at, and then sit down and go, okay, where are we going next and what am I doing right now?

What am I doing today so that I could eventually end up at this point in the future is specific point that I’m looking to go to.

It’s nothing wrong with that.

You just don’t want to get too caught up in the past or the future.

You want to be right here right now, acknowledge where you’ve been, be happy about it, and then look for the future. And that’s the holiday season obviously.

Then you’ve got Christmas and all the other holidays that you may celebrate in the middle that all have a deeper meaning, but I just appreciate how at the very beginning you got Thanksgiving and at the end of the, of the main holiday season, you’ve got new year’s and it’s all about gratitude and goal setting.

So hopefully that that gives you a little bit of food for thought.

I do these videos because I own a website called BrianJPombo.com named after surprisingly enough, I’m Brian J. Pombo, they J is for Jeffrey.

If you’re wondering, I’ve never said that here, I don’t think.

Also wanting to mention something I mentioned almost every time is DreamBizChat.com.

DreamBizChat.com is a special project from this year that has to do with business owners and executives who are in the self-reliance field.

Why You Need to Stand Out

Why You Need to Stand Out

http://DreamBizChat.com

Why you need to stand out.

I’m Brian Pombo welcome back to Brian J. Pombo Live, filmed every day here live in Grants Pass, Oregon.

Today I’m here to talk about this guy Godzilla.

I want you to imagine if you will, you turn on the news wherever you catch any glimpse of news.

Let’s say it’s on YouTube or on your TV or in your morning newspaper or wherever you catch to the newest Drudge Report. I don’t care. Wherever you get your news and you see a great big picture of Godzilla walking down the most major metropolitan area near you, would that be newsworthy?

Would anyone be talking about anything else?

If Godzilla were real and he’s walking around, this is one of my favorite little toys.

I think this is from the 85 movie and I’ve had it pretty close to that long. If this Godzilla was walking around. Would anybody be talking about anything else?

Is there any way to possibly ignore that?

If it were real, there isn’t. It’s impossible. Everyone would be talking about it. No one would not be talking about it.

It’s guaranteed that that makes the rounds within 24 hours.

So it’s kind of like 9 11 you know, buildings crumbling to the ground. No one goes without knowing about that around the world when things like that occur, there’s no way you can stop something from that like that from getting out there, from standing out, from convening, from cutting through everything else, everything else that’s going on in a person’s life.

That one thing, Godzilla. Walking down a large street or anywhere really Godzilla shows up anywhere that’s going to be big news, right?

Now, picture if you will, him carrying a sign or having a T-shirt on that had your phone number, your website, no explanation. Just some contact information. Doesn’t say anything else.

How many phone calls do you think you’re going to get?

How do you think your website actually stays up for very long without completely crashing. Is this is an exam, you’re saying?

Well, yeah. But what’s the point?

Godzilla’s not real.

That’s not going to happen, but outrageous things happen. They happen on occasion.

If they happened all the time, they wouldn’t be outrageous. They wouldn’t stand out.

If monsters were walking around on a regular basis, it wouldn’t be that big of a deal. You know, school shootings hardly phase us anymore.

If it happens, it’s not that big a deal. It happening 20 years ago, became mainstream news and was something that a lot of people were talking about.

Nowadays, it isn’t because it’s no longer standing out. It’s all about doing something, having something being something that stands out that cuts through the clutter of everyday life and everyday life is more cluttered now than ever before.

Nearly impossible cut through.

There are only a few things…..there’s very little things. There’s very little things in life that I have any expertise in that I would actually call expertise or say that I know well enough that I could help somebody with that it’s worth it.

I can’t help a person fix a car.

I can’t help a person, you know, pick their fantasy football teams.

I can’t help a person do just about anything. I’m not the person you want to call. I’m not the person to talk to.

But when it comes to standing out, that’s something I understand.

I have a third eye’s vision of how to do that. I’ve seen it happen enough times. I’ve helped enough people to do it. I’ve seen it not happen often enough that I know what not to do to not stand out.

Standing out has a formula to it.

It has a process to it and here’s what I’m going to suggest you do tomorrow. I want you to sit down or start. You could start today and I want you to pay attention to everyone vying for your attention and I want you to see how many of them actually get it long enough to be memorable.

All the, all the emails that you’re getting in a day, all of the videos that you may be seeing online or or on television in a day, all the commercials, anything that’s vying for your attention that’s wanting you to do something specific.

How many of them actually get enough of your attention to get you to move on anything?

I think you’ll be surprised with how many of them actually do. It’s very low, but most of us aren’t even aware of it.

We don’t even think about it.

But that comes back to you and your business.

If you’re a business owner, if you’re an executive, you need to be able to cut through the clutter.

You need to stand out at least to your group. To the niche of people, the consumers that are specifically after what you’re providing.

You have to stand out and it doesn’t matter whether it’s business to business or business to consumer. It doesn’t matter because they’re still people and they’re still inundated with information everywhere they go, no matter who they are, they could be completely off the internet and there’s still people trying to get information to them.

So you think just how extreme can we get?

Amish, let’s say they’re Amish.

They see no television. They see no internet. If they’re really deep into the Amish lifestyle and they’re out on a farm, what’s looking to get their attention?

I guarantee there’s still people trying to get their attention.

Not as many as most of us, but there’s still people vying to get their attention.

Who actually breaks through?

Who are the people that break through?

What are the news items you actually pay attention to that you could repeat at the end of the day, well, this happened and that happened and how many of those do you think you’ll still be talking about in a week?

This is the importance of standing out.

I want you to look very closely as to what stands out for you and what you think will stand out for your audience, for your customer, your potential customer, your potential client, and then there’s a science behind it.

And we’re going to talk more and more about this as we go along because it tends to be the number one subject that people ask me about or want me to bring back up again and discuss and what people are looking to do the most in their business.

The people who I help out the most are the people really looking to stand out in a particular area for a particular thing.

So hopefully you found this interesting.

If you’d like to find out more about how you can specifically stand out, go to BrianJPombo.com.

My name is in the description, but there’s also another link in the description. That’s for DreamBizChat.com.

Perfection and Priorities

Perfection and Priorities

http://DreamBizChat.com

Perfection and Priorities.

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

Today we’re going to be talking about the process of business growth and how one of the main things that gets in the way is perfection, perfection, perfection. They’re always trying to perfect, every little piece of what we’re working on, what we’re doing.

As I was going ahead, moving on with a new project, with podcast producer Sean Douglas, and today we’re noticing that I’ve always had a tendency, in certain ways, to get caught up with one little item that doesn’t really have anything to do with the big picture of where we’re going and we’re trying to perfect this one little area of this big thing that we’re trying to do.

This happens. It really became clear to both of us today as we were talking about it.

It happens when you don’t have a clear idea of your priorities.

If you don’t know what the priority is, it’s very easy to get caught up in the perfection trap.

Here’s an example.

I talked to a lot of business owners and a select few end up becoming clients.

And one the first things I do with a client is sit down and really graph out what their priorities are.

Where are they looking at where they see themselves in the next six months, year, five years, 10 years and so forth.

In many cases, they get irritated with that. They don’t like to think about that type of thing because they like to keep things loose.

Most entrepreneurs are very easy going, they’re intense, but they have an easy going nature about their business and they just want to have the freedom to just kind of let it go wherever, wherever it will go.

It’s always good to be flexible. But at the same time, if you do not have a concept of where you’re going, it’s tough to set priorities.

Without priorities you’ll get caught up in little things.

You either won’t pay enough attention to the right things or you pay too much attention or at the same time pay too much attention to the wrong things in the process of moving forward. Because it’s real easy to get to change the focus of where you’re going.

It’s too easy to get caught up with the bright shiny object.

Perfection is one of these things. It’s going too deep into one area that in the end doesn’t matter to your priority of the current time.

And if you don’t have someone there who remembers what the priority is and who could remind you what the priority is at that time, then you’ll get caught up with trying to, you know, shine the hubcaps on your car when you really do need to get the engine running.

This is just a thing that I’ve ran into over and over and over again. And I’m not a perfectionist.

I’m just not that type of person. I’m into quality. I’m into doing things right. I don’t want to have to come back and do it over, over and over again.

I’d rather get it done right the first time, but I’m not much of a perfectionist and at the same time I still get caught up in trying to get this one area just right when really the priority is this area over here. Keep your eyes on what you’re working on perfecting. And if you get caught up in the wrong area, it’s because you’re not paying attention to your priorities.

Hopefully this is helpful to you. If you’d like to talk about your priorities with your business and see if your perfection might be in the wrong spots.

Selling Info + Your Business

http://DreamBizChat.com

Selling info + your business.

I am Brian Pombo welcome back to Brian J. Pombo Live.

This right here is a picture of Michael Senoff. Michael Senoff is a dear friend of mine and he doesn’t even know who I am and here’s why. He’s had a website called, Hard To Find Seminars for probably close to 20 years now.

This website’s been out there. It has a whole lot of free information out there that can teach you about business sales, marketing.

He’s gone out and interviewed some of the smartest people out there at the same time. He’s learned a whole lot, has put into play a whole lot and has become an expert unto himself and he imparts his wisdom out into the world.

Whole bunch of this stuff is free. It’s not in a normal blog format or anything of that sort, but what it is is he has pieces of it put out there.

Some of them are full interviews, some of them are just part of interviews.

And he says, hey, if you’d like to hear the rest, go and purchase this product that has this many hours worth of my interviews, or an old seminar from this person or that person.

That’s where his whole website came from. It’s just these interviews and most of them, their the most simplest interviews in the world. They may have a commercial spliced in there or two for his website, but other than that, it’s just plain and simple interview over the phone.

He had this little digital recorder that could plug into a phone. It’s not the greatest quality sound in the world, but you can hear what’s being said. Plus, he has transcripts of all of his conversations that he’s had.

These are amazing conversations that he’s had with some amazing people throughout the years.

I mean, hundreds and hundreds if not thousands of recordings available on that website, both free and to pay for. I’ve bought many of his, I continue to buy many of his products that he has out there, their digital products. They’re just sitting there.

He has created this thing that kind of runs on its own where he has all these things available and things you’re talking 600 thousands of dollars worth of individual products that you can purchase on a whole range of different issues.

Most of them are business related.

So I think I saw some health related stuff on there.

Why is it called hard to find seminars?

Well, it’s because when he first started out, he was selling old seminars, you know, things on tape and CD that, people had bought and then they were reselling.

He was reselling all this stuff on eBay.

And so his original website was hard to find seminars.

As time went on, he started creating his own products. They’re not all seminars.

They aren’t all hard to find, but they are this huge trove of information.

Why am I talking about Michael Senoff?

What’s it have to do with you?

Well for one thing, this is my love letter. Thank you Michael, for all the work that you’ve done through the years and creating this fabulous business for yourself.

Those of you who are watching this, I want you to keep in mind what this could be for you. Any business can have information tacked onto it. You can always have some form of information that you’re selling on the side, regardless of what the business.

If you’ve been in your business for any amount of time and have any amount of knowledge about it, you are an expert in comparison to most people on whatever the topic is that you deal with on a regular basis.

Having that ability, you have the ability to then put your concepts, put your ideas, put your answers to frequently asked questions onto paper, on audio recording, on the video recording.

And like we said, it’s all about content marketing, but you don’t only need to use content for marketing. You could use content and sell it unto itself for people that are out there looking for that type of content.

You could train people on how to build a business similar to what you’ve built.

Most of the people watching this or a lot of the people that I’ve met that I’m reaching out to, business owners, executives, people that run the company.

If you’ve got that background, you definitely have the ability to create information and it’s a great side business.

Look into Michael’s stuff and see how simple and straight forward his process is, but at the same time has such quality information, quality entertainment and just overall insights into the world.

It’s great stuff. It’s very inspiring.

Anybody can go out there and do what he’s done. Not only that, a lot of his stuff focuses in on the simplicity of how simple it is to go out and make a business on your own.

He has courses on how to use Craigslist and how to use all these different things, that ink that everyone has available to them.

If you’re ever feel like you’re in a rut and you’re not really making it ahead, if you’re still trying to break out in business, look into Michael Senoff’s work.

It’s really good stuff.

So hopefully you found this helpful look into providing information for others. We’ll talk about more about this in the future and how this can benefit you and your business.

Anytime you can tack on side pieces of business onto your business, it makes your core business stronger and it makes everything more secure and gives you the, at that allure, that overall aura to your customers of being something bigger than just your average blank.

However, most people would refer to your industry, to your business if you’re just an average blank.

If you’re just another cookie cutter watch, I’m gonna call it out there.

If what you’re providing is a product is just the typical thing that you can find on Amazon.com or on anyone of your competitors sites. You’re not standing out enough.

You’re not being different enough.

You need to provide more information.

Hopefully you found this helpful. If you have and you’re in the self-reliance field, go to DreamBizChat.com meaning you’ve got products and services that help people to become more self reliant.

You’re someone I’d love to talk with, and we could have a free conversation over on DreamBizChat.com link is in the description.

You can click on that anytime.

Like I said, hope you found this helpful. Come on back tomorrow. We’re back here every day on Brian J. Pombo Live. Have a good one. Get out there and let the magic happen.

Dedication Determines Destiny

http://DreamBizChat.com

Dedication determines destiny.

Hi I’m Brian Pombo welcome to Brian J. Pombo Live, we come here every day from Grants Pass Oregon.

Today we’re going to get a little philosophical on you and I wanted to bring up a quote that I overheard, an audio I was listening to and it was a by a gentleman named Stan Billue. I’m not sure if you’ve heard of this guy before.

Stan Billue, he was a sales trainer.

He died back in 2015. Was a sales trainer through the 70s, 80s, 90s, I believe was his prime time. And I heard about Stan from a couple of different sources. But I got his an audio series that he had put together, it was originally a video series, I believe.

I was listening to the audio series from his sales training and this was from HardToFindSeminars.com if you haven’t been there, go and check it out.

I’m going to talk about Michael Senoff who came up with HardToFindSeminars.com.

He’s a really interesting guy, has a really great business model and something that you could definitely take something from when we’re talking about content marketing and information marketing.

So we’ll talk about that another time. But I want to get back to Stan Billue’s point about determination and destiny.

He brought this up saying that if you’re determined, your creating in a sense your own destiny. And I think that’s true to an extent, but I think I kind of think of it a little bit in reverse.

There was another quote, and I wish I had the author’s name. I know which book it came out of , but I don’t have the book in my hands right now.

So there was a book I read and I believe he was quoting someone else. And in it he said that, desire reveals destiny.

I tend to agree with that and I think determination is a sign of desire.

When you see someone that’s determined, when someone’s really showing the results of determination, if it’s showing up in what they’re doing, if they’re truly determined all the way, then that’s a sign of true desire.

And I think desire reveals destiny as opposed to the other way around. I don’t think that you can create your own destiny, but I do think that you can reveal your own destiny through your actions.

I’ve seen this over and over again, both in my personal life and in others.

Oftentimes when I’m working with somebody new, when I’m working on training somebody new, I look for certain qualities and one of the qualities I look for is a very strong desire to create something bigger and to create something better for themselves.

I see that occur in their determination and the level of determination really shows you the level of desire. And the more determined a person is, the more they’ve got that burn. They’ve got that desire, they’ve got a drive to actually do something more.

When I see that, I see a person that’s destined to build something big, to make something big, to become something big or what have you. They’re going places. There’s something happening, but it’s something behind them that….I don’t want to get deep into any concepts of predestination or anything like that, but I do believe in a sense of destiny.

And I think that there is no way that you know whether people have it or not, but there are signs of whether they’re destined to go in a specific direction or not at a specific time.

If I bring on a new client and that client doesn’t stick with it and they don’t stage determined to our pre-organized goals and our plan, our action plan, I know they’re not determined.

I know they’re not really moving forward.

That’s a person that’s destined in a different direction.

They’re not necessarily destined in the direction that we had set up for them, or at least not at this particular time. And I’ve learned just to say, Hey, no big deal. We pull back and we walk away from those situations and I suggest doing the same thing.

Instead of trying to control the situations that are going through people’s heads and whether they’re determined or not. You’re not going to be able to make a person determined.

They either are ready to be determined or they’re not, and that maybe they’re not today, but they will be tomorrow.

Or maybe they were yesterday and they’re not today. But you’ve got to see that it’s that there’s something in play behind everything and you could call it psychology, you could call it a spiritual destiny. You can call it anything you want, but there’s something behind the scenes going on in people’s minds and people’s souls, what have you, that determine whether they’re going to move forward with something or not.

Whether they’re going to stick it out and really have the grit necessary to be able to move forward.

Recognize that in people and see what you can do to be able to work with the people that are willing to work, that have the determination to work with you. Let the others go and whether that’s customers or whether it’s partners or whether it’s clients, you’ve got to be able to see that in other people as best as you can and not take it personal if everyone’s got their own deal going on.

I know this is kind of all over the place today.

Hopefully it made sense to you.

If it does, go to BrianJPombo.com check out some of my other videos and or audio. You can listen to these.

Also, if you happen to be listening to it via podcast, you could also listen to him there and that it’s over in the media section of BrianJPombo.com if you’d like to be able to talk with me about how this, these concepts apply to your business.

So hopefully that was helpful tonight. Tomorrow we’ll talk about something else.

Come on back to the same location and we’ll chat again. Have a great one. Get out there and let the magic happen.

4 Ways To Appeal To Your Customers

4 Ways To Appeal To Your Customers

http://DreamBizChat.com

4 ways to appeal to your customer base.

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

I just had a quick thought for you tonight. I want to get it out quick because we’re almost at the end of the night and we’re almost into tomorrow. I got to make sure I hit that window.

This is from the book Tested Advertising Methods.

This is from chapter six, by John Caples, a famous advertiser, and he said, there’s basically four main things that people are appealed to have in some way or form.

And you could look at the bad side of these and you could look at the good side of these.

They each have their good’s and bad’s of it, depending on your perspective.

The first one is sex appeal or sex, and it’s not just, or even primarily the physical act, but also love, affection, friendship, all of those things is something that appeals to people as humans.

These things that appeal to people on a deeper level.

It’s something that kind of appeals to all people in some way, shape, or form. Things you’ve got to take into account when you’re doing any form of advertising, marketing or talking to your customer or prospective customers.

Here’s the second one.

Greed, all things physical and emotional that money can buy.

So that’s greed.

Number three, Fear.

Fear of losing what you have of not gaining what you hope to achieve or both.

Then there’s four Duty, Honor, Professionalism.

Not what’s in it for me, but what’s what is best for those I serve.

The right medicine, the longest lasting sewer pipes, the most effective fire engine.

Those are the four things that John Caples talks about.

Sex appeal, Greed, Fear, Duty, Honor and Professionalism.

He says this comes directly from another person that he discusses in his talks of a person named Han. The person who originally came out with the three appeals and then he added the duty, honor and professionalism to it.

So it’s just a side thought, something we go a whole lot more deeper on.

What makes it right or wrong to appeal to people and to appeal these instincts that they may not even be aware that they have, but how do your products do that?

How do your services do that?

It’s something to keep in mind.

Also, another thing to keep in mind, DreamBizChat.com if you’re in the self-reliance space, you’re a business owner or executive, go to DreamBizChat.com go check out the video there.

That’s all I have for tonight. Get out there, let the magic happen.
