http://DreamBizChat.com Would you call yourself a leader? Hi I’m Brian Pombo welcome back to Brian J. Pombo Live. Live broadcast every day on Facebook live and then rebroadcasts over all the other social networks coming to you from Grants Pass Oregon. Today we’re talking about leadership and whether you consider yourself a leader that oftentimes we’re talking about business ownership, we’re talking about business leadership. If you’re an executive in your business, one of the determining factors of what really makes a person appeal to what we’re talking about on a daily basis is we do tend to cover a lot of ideas of leadership. So do you consider yourself a leader or not? Oftentimes, if you have your own business and you’re doing your own thing, you don’t necessarily think of yourself as a leader, but I’m going to suggest that it’s probably what you should be doing. And the reason why this has come to me is a quote that I heard and I’m going to get to that in a minute, but first I wanted to remind you about DreamBizChat.com. If you are a business owner in the self-reliance field, meaning you have products and services that help people to become more self reliant, perhaps you’re a business owner, perhaps you’re an executive in that field. You work in a company that helps people to become more self reliant from what you teach. Maybe you teach people how or you provide products which allow people to do home brewing or perhaps even beekeeping. A number of things that are within the self-reliance field, ways that people can start their own hobbies and businesses off to the side. That’s what we’re talking about and it DreamBizChat.com I can show you how to take your business to the next level if you’re really willing to make it into that dream business, go check out the free video at DreamBizChat.com. The link is in the description. If you happen to forget the name. So I came across a quote from a friend of mine, his name’s Randy Haugen. He’s a very successful business person and this is the quote that he had leaders believe in the stuff they dream about into existence over a long period of time. I’m going to say that a little slower for you because there’s a lot there. Leaders believe the stuff they dream about into existence over a long period of time. The first part of that that I think is most important is the belief part that you have to believe something into existence and it’s the stuff that you dream about. It’s the stuff, not necessarily that you’re dreaming at night when you go to sleep. It’s the stuff that in your mind you see happening, that it’s very clear to you that this is where you’re going with life and it seems as though this is the direction you’re taking things, but it’s the things that persist. The most important part of that whole quote is I think over a long period of time because it’s what persists in your mind. It’s the things that don’t go away that are solid and they get more and more clear with time. Those are the things that will end up happening and those are the things you gotta watch for. It’s not the shiny object of the moment. It’s not the thing that you’re entranced with for this week. It’s the things that stick over time that you just ...

http://DreamBizChat.com Exhausted? Well I know I am. I’m Brian Pombo welcome back to Brian J. Pombo Live. Daily we come back to you with little tidbits, concepts, ideas, things that will help you be able to build your business a little faster, a little bigger. Today I’m going to talk about exhaustion and the things I look for when I feel exhausted. So today I’m exhausted. I’m coming to you. No lie. I am tired. I’m very tired, physically tired. And the reason why is because as those of you who have been watching, I’ve been in the process of moving here in the new office, it’s slowly starting to come together. Got a new bookshelf here. I’m going to have another one just like it. So we’ll be adding that to it. There’ll be not only books, but toys and movies and everything else that I can think of will be stacked on these bookshelves. Just everything representing me, what I’m all about. I like to have a lot of that stuff around my office just in general to keep me kind of centered and remember who I am. But regardless of that big move. My whole family’s moving and so I could feel it in my body. You start feeling it in your muscles and everything when you’re moving heavy objects everyday. And so that type of exhaustion, that’s easy to deal with. You know you can, you can survive it and get through it and you know that there’s light at the end of the tunnel. The tough thing about exhaustion is when you don’t know exactly what it is. And there’s a few things I always look for and some of this stuff’s complete common sense. I know you already know this, but the things that I’ve gotten good at looking for is one, how well have I been sleeping lately? So the number one thing that I look at is, have I been sleeping consecutively? Have I been sleeping enough? Have I been asleep though sleep that I have been getting? Have I been getting good sleep? Secondly, I look at is how I’ve been eating and how much have I been eating? How often have I been eating and have I been eating the things that I know are good or have I been eating a lot of stuff that I know is going to cause inflammation and everything and just make me feel like garbage. So these are things, if you haven’t dug into your own personal nutrition, as you get older, these things affect you a lot more. And so you really gotta get good at looking at what you eat. I never would’ve imagined that everything that I ate had such a dynamic effect on my mental exhaustion, my physical exhaustion. And that then affects my spirit and how I feel about everything else. So these are the things to keep into effect. And that’s when you’re talking to all physical, but then you gotta look, you gotta step back and look at, okay, what? Where am I at? What am I doing on a daily basis? What are my relationships like with the people I work with, with the people at home, or these things draining me? You can say psychically or whatever. Is there something deeper that’s draining and exhausting? Am I going in the direction I want to be going?

http://DreamBizChat.com Planning or Intuition, which is better? Hi I’m Brian Pombo welcome back to Brian J. Pombo Live. Today we’re going to be talking about the difference between planning and using your gut, your intuition coming to you from Grants Pass Oregon. Sorry for the shaky camera work. I don’t have a tripod with me at the moment. We’re in the process of moving, going through all this crazy stuff. It’s still got a couple more days of that left and so you can see the bags under my eyes and everything and of course I dropped something that I wanted to show you. Let me show you what I dropped…DreamBizChat.com. For those of you who aren’t aware, these videos are brought to you by DreamBizChat.com. You can go to DreamBizChat.com by typing it into your favorite browser or by clicking on the link in the description below. It’s pretty self explanatory, has to do with the dream business transformation. If you’d like to take your business from where it’s at to where you want it to be, to where it’s really that dream business for you and you’re gonna want to check out DreamBizChat.com. So let’s talk planning versus intuition. A lot of people, this is an issue that always comes up eventually with people that I work with because as entrepreneurs, as business owners, as anybody that likes to really take charge of their life, it’s in our nature to trust our instincts and to really try and follow our intuition and I don’t think that’s a bad thing, but at the same time people think, well they’ll think that it’s completely antithetical. It’s completely opposite from strategy, which if you take strategy and you look at all the synonyms that go along with it, it comes down to planning. Strategy is just developing a plan in its most basic form, but is that all there is to it is it has to be either be a plan or intuition or can it be both? It can be both. It has to be both. If you do nothing but just make plans, you’re going to be horribly disappointed in the long run and your plans aren’t going to come out right and you won’t have the right plans. If you’re not really taking heed of your own personal intuition. At the same time, if you are running purely off intuition, it’s very difficult to get a business up and running. It’s very difficult to keep it going. It’s very difficult to systemize because there are parts of a business that need to be automated. There are parts of a business that need to run like a machine which has no intuition. I don’t care what anyone says about artificial intelligence and where it’s going. It will never have the intuition that human beings have. We don’t know how to bestow that upon an inanimate object. We can’t even do it with animals. We’re not going to be able to do it with robots, with a computers. That’s my personal opinion. Intuition’s a magical thing and it needs to, in terms of whether you should be focused on planning or intuition, it needs to be both, but one precedes the other. So intuition proceeds planning, good planning happens when you’re paying very close attention to that small still voice on the inside kind of given you the go ahead of which direction you need to be going. You can put it together, all the plans in the world,

http://DreamBizChat.com Feeling Unmotivated? Hi I’m Brian Pombo welcome back to Brian J. Pombo Live, please excuse the echo. We’re sitting in a closet right now. Empty closet, but it’s a closet just to say we’re moving. This is Tyler Pombo, “I’m from that video in the office.” And this is Alexandra Pombo, we call Allie. And today we just want to give you a simple message. It’s very simple. I see Joe’s watching. We’re here live on Facebook Live, but we’re also going to be broadcasting….and Joe says, hi everybody. We also broadcast over on LinkedIn, Instagram. Currently audio gets put out through via podcast. So you may be listening to this on the podcast, but Tyler, how old are you? Five. And Allie how old are you? I’m Two. Tyler: I have a stamp on my hand. Allie: I have a stamp on my hand. Brian: You have a stamp too? You got stamps on your hand? And so we’ve also have our youngest. Your youngest brother, what’s his name? Tyler: Lucas. Brian: And how old is Lucas? Tyler: He’s zero, but he’s my brother. Brian: He’s zero, but he’s about 7 months old. You guys hold on. I got a special message for them. If you’re feeling unmotivated, you got to remember what your WHY is. You don’t necessarily have cute kids like me, but you got to have a reason why you’re doing what you do. Go read the book, Start With Why, by Simon Sinek. Yeah, that’s a good start. You’ve got to always remember your why. If you don’t have a why, why are you getting up in the morning? Why are you putting in all the hard work? Tyler: Why? Why? You need to wake up later. Brian: Like I’m saying, they have to have a reason why they’re doing what they’re doing. And if you do have a good reason why that you’re going through all that hard work, then don’t forget it. Put it out in front of you. Y’all have a good night. Get out there and let the magic happen. Tyler: Bye!

http://DreamBizChat.com Ahhh….The Looking Zone. Hi I’m Brian Pombo welcome back to the Brian J. Pombo Live. Today coming to you from a very dark place out in Josephine County, a undisclosed location, but all I’ve got is the light from my dome here. And today we’re going to be talking a little bit about your customer and catching them when they’re in the exact looking zone. I’m going to talk about a very specific tactic that you can have added to your arsenal in some way. And we’re talking specifically about direct mail, but don’t get caught up on the medium, because the same thing can be accomplished via email, online through social media. There’s a number of other ways that you can get in touch with people when they’re in the looking zone. So this is a specific thing and it’s interesting because it ties in well because I’m in the process of moving my family and as we’re doing that, we are starting to get mail at the new place, which is interesting, because we hadn’t even put in for a address change. So how they found out exactly that we’re moving. I don’t really know. It may have been a DMV change. It may have been something else. I’m just curious because you’ll start seeing that you’ll get mail in your new location, even before you do an address change, a specific address change. And so they have ways of telling each other. This is one from bed bath and beyond a piece of mail that came in to the Pombo households. That’s us. So we’ll take a look at it and on the outside it says, it says directly what it is, you know, it’s a piece of junk mail. It’s advertising. It says 20% off entire purchase. I mean, that’s the main focus of Bed, Bath and Beyond. Says right there, your move, we can help right there. It’s labeled, says the dear Pombo household. You’ve found the perfect place. Now it’s time to make it your own. This is very, very, very specific. Direct, timely hitting us. When we’re in the looking zone. They know their audience, they know who they’re going after and they’re hitting us at one very particular time. So they’ve gone through the whole process of finding out when people move. Getting those addresses quickly could be that the place just sold could be a number of reasons why they were able to pass to find out that we were coming to this address at the exact address and it’s, but they’ve got this nice little quick little main thing is giant coupon on the bottom. People don’t even use coupons anymore, but the style of the coupon is still very common. See the little dotted line that denotes that you take out your scissors and cut this out and with a little bar code here and it’s good through November of this year, 20% off and tire purchase and a little ad for their, B and Willow home, new and exclusively ours, one of their new brands that they’re, that they’re selling things as very straight, straight forward, very simple on the back. I even noticed this the first time, throw it on the back. It says new home needs, find more tips at Bed, Bath and Beyond. It’s got a checklist. I don’t know if you can see that? You can’t see that from there, but you might be able to see it a little bit. I don’t know. Just trust me, it has a checklist and it’s got like furniture.

http://DreamBizChat.com So I made my content, now what? Hi I’m Brian Pombo welcome back to Brian J. Pombo Live. Today still in grants pass, but I’m coming to you from my car. Why? Because I was looking for that darn piece of mail that we were going to talk about today. I thought it was at one place. It turned out it was at another and I’m looking all over for it. Can’t find it. I know where it’s at though now because a process of elimination, but today we’re not going to talk about that piece of mail. Today we’re going to talk about something else. Then tomorrow we’re going to talk about the piece of mail. Today we’re going to discuss content and how it fits, how it fits into any format that you put it into. Because all of us have a favorite way of delivering content. If you’re doing any type of content marketing, if you’re not, you ought to be, go and check out my other videos that have to do with content marketing. It’s good stuff, but content marketing is something you should be taking advantage of. It’s free to do. It’s available to everybody and you ought to be out there in some way. And then there’s three main ways that I would say online that you’re going to be doing. You’re going to be doing one of these three, at least. You’re going to be either writing something or you’re going to be putting your voice out there, or you’re going to be doing video like I’m doing right now, which includes voice, but also the video and things. So once you made your content, now what do you do with it? What’s the point, next? I want to talk about the point of Repurposing Content. This is a term, I don’t know who came up with this term and when it comes to content marketing, but it’s absolutely what you should be doing is Repurposing your Content. I’ll give you an example. Today, I just noticed that somebody that I had friended, this is a speaker who I saw, had to have been probably four or five years ago. I saw this speaker speak live. I went online. I saw that a bunch of my friends were friends with this speaker. I’m going to be friends with them too because I got to meet him and everything. So I went friended him on Facebook and he’s not the youngest person in the world, so maybe he doesn’t use his Facebook that often. Well he never friended me and he never, you know, ignored it or anything. It just never got friended and so and so I just kind of left it and I’m going, well maybe he doesn’t remember me anything, not that big a deal. But what happens is out of nowhere today, he friends me back. So now I have access to a whole lot of stuff that he’s putting out there that I didn’t have access to before. So I’m going through and I’m looking at his materials that he’s put out there and he had a blog post and it’s written out and it’s a good good size blog post. This is a guy who is very energetic. He’s got a lot to say, he’s got a great voice and a great presentation style. I wish this was in video. I wish this wasn’t audio. I wish I could hear his voice saying this because it means more. Everyone likes getting media the way that they like getting it.

Uncle Mud – Natural Building Chieftain Who is your tribe? Hi, I’m Brian Pombo welcome back to Brian J. Pombo Live. Coming to you live from Grants Pass Oregon. Today we’re going to be talking about your tribe, the group of people that you consider, customers, clients, fans, supporters, so on and so forth. Who are they? What do they have to do? Do you actually have a group that follow you in a sense that consider you their one and only way in your space? Before we get deep into that, I want to promote DreamBizChat.com for all business owners, entrepreneurs, executives of businesses that are in the self-reliance field, meaning you have products and services that help people to become more self-reliant. If you are looking to take your business from where it is to where you want it to be and you just need help as far as developing a path, a long-term strategy in order to get there, whether it’s in six months, whether it’s in five years, do you have a step-by-step path on how to get where you’re looking to go, especially if you’re a successful business and you’re looking to scale up? Well, go to DreamBizChat.com watch the video there and see if it’s something that you’d be interested in because I’m offering for possibly a short period of time, a free conversation with me where I will help you develop or at least start your dream business transformation. What’s it all about? Go to DreamBizChat.com and check it out. The link is in the description. Now let’s talk about tribes. Oftentimes when people are putting together their business, they focus it almost solely around the concept of what their business is as a service or a product and they focus on developing that service and product as opposed to developing who that product is for. That’s why most of the things I talk about, I take all the way back to focusing back on your perspective, client and customer. You’ve got to think about them as much as possible first because that’s where most of your, your marketing is going to lead you to. That’s where most of your communications are going to lead you to. Any focus that you have back onto growing your business is gonna have to come back to the WHO. One of my three pillars that I focus on is called relationship reliant, which means you got to have a relationship in a sense. Even if you don’t actually know who they are, you have to have a relationship with your prospective customers. You have to put yourself out there either personally or as a brand or as a team of brand or a team of people that are producing a brand. So you really gotta put it out there. This all comes back to a conversation that I had. I’m sorry, I’m getting distracted. My wife is texting me on my phone while I am attempting to do some form of communication with you. So let me come back. This all comes back to a conversation that I had with a guy named Uncle Mud. Seriously, this is what he goes by. Uncle Mud, his real name’s Chris McClellan, but he somehow he picked up this moniker and we talk about it on the show that he’s known as Uncle Mud because he has gotten good at natural building. So that’s when they put buildings together,

http://DreamBizChat.com What is the most important skill for scaling up? Hi I’m Brian Pombo welcome back to Brian J. Pombo Live today. We’re coming to you live from Grants Pass Oregon. That’s right. I’ve survived all the crazy plane flights and wild weather, the dry, extremely dry weather of Las Vegas. My Lips are still recovering. If you’re used to living in a little bit more humid place, going to an extremely dry place in the desert like Las Vegas, you’ll notice that one way or the other, you’ll notice it. Not my most noticeable feature is my lips when it comes to handling really arid weather. So, but I’m back. And today we’re going to be talking about scaling up, but first I just wanted to give a quick plug to DreamBizChat.com. If you are a business owner or an executive in the self-reliance field, meaning that you have products and services that help people to become more self reliant, go check out DreamBizChat.com. There’s nothing being sold there. It’s nothing more than a video and an application. If you liked the video and you think it applies to you, fill out the application and we’ll see if we can get together and chat. DreamBizChat.com link is in the description. Now we are talking about scaling up and this comes from a conversation that I had this weekend. I’m sorry for the shaky camera work. I don’t have my tripod with me. So bear with me. A conversation I had this weekend with a very successful business owner, has owned multiple businesses in multiple fields and let’s call him Ray. His name’s not right, but we’ll say it is for the sake of this conversation. So I was talking with Ray as he was discussing some of the situations that he’s been dealing with lately and very crazy outrageous situations. And even though he’s been very successful, makes a lot of money, has a lot of money, there are always going to be situations that you have no control over. And it doesn’t matter what the business is. And this was a point that he was making. It doesn’t matter what business you run, what business you own. I mean for the sake of conversation, if you’re running an organization, anything of that sort. The same thing’s true. You’re always going to have the ups and the downs and the crazy things that are completely unpredictable that come about and come along in your path. He said the difference between those that make it and don’t make it are whether they’re thrown off emotionally by it, whether they let these things shake them, you eventually have to get to the point where you’re not shaken by these things. And this comes back to one of the main pillars that I bring up on a regular basis, which is being reality reliant. Well reality based reality. Grounded I should say is the term I usually use for it. It’s reality grounded. And the whole idea behind that is to not be emotionally grounded but reality grounded to where you see things for what they are and not what your emotions are telling you that they are. You know, when you get caught up with things and he said that is really the key. And if you look at his life and what he’s been doing over the past, oh, you know, 10, 20 years, it’s been a progression of taking what he’s already known and scaling up and moving up on top of what he’s already done.

Scott Smith – Earth 2 Earth Compost Pail So what does success mean? Hi I’m Brian Pombo welcome back to Brian J. Pombo Live coming to you live from Las Vegas of all places and today we’re going to be talking a little bit about the meaning of the word success. First, I would just like to implore you, if you are a business owner or an executive that’s in the self reliance field, meaning you have products and services that help people to become more self-reliant. You’re someone I’d like to talk to. Go to DreamBizChat.com link is in the description, but you can type it in yourself. DreamBizChat.com there’s an eight and a half minute video on that site. It’s all free. You go watch it. I’m not even going to put a cookie on your page so that you just keep seeing ads for me or anything like that. There no ads currently on that page, but go and check it out. If you’re interested in what I’m talking about on that page, it’s a chance to be able to talk to me directly about you and your business. Where are you? Where do you see yourself going? So go to DreamBizChat.com and check it out. Let me know what you think. Success. You could go and look up the definition. I don’t have it right here in front of me. Go look up the definition and Google of what success means, but it’s a pretty relative definition. It really is. I think a lot of us especially if you, if you’re in America, you may have a very standard view of success. It may revolve around money, it may revolve around prosperity, but really success is completely relative term. If you really think about it so much so that it really doesn’t have a good definition. There’s a preacher that I know of that I heard talk about this before and he said that success doesn’t exist. And when you have something that’s so loosely defined as success, then it’s kind of true. It doesn’t really exist. It isn’t a specific thing. But you can always define it. You can always call it whatever you want and do you, and it can be whatever you want it to be. In the end. Success is where you view yourself going in life and what would be a positive outcome? Are you already successful? What would make you more successful? Is Success a destination? These are all questions you have to ask yourself and I know I’m kind of bouncing all over the place, but it’s because I had an interview with like a fellow who’s relatively new to the business world, relatively new to owning a business. His name is Scott Smith. He owns Earth2Earth, compost pails. This is an invention that he came up with himself. He based it off of things that people had already done for themselves, but he is one that created something that he took out, had it patented and is trying to sell as many of these little compost buckets as much as possible. It’s very, very interesting and it’s a great conversation because there’s a guy that comes from construction. He has a very plain spoken way of speaking, very direct and to the point, but at the same time he’s a little bit of a philosopher and he’s realized that success isn’t necessarily about how much money you make, it’s about the lifestyle you make.

https://offthegridbiz.com/mother-earth-news-fair-2019-recap/ Let’s talk about the physical side of business. Hi I’m Brian J. Pombo welcome to Brian J. Pombo Live coming to you from Las Vegas, Nevada. Of all places. That’s right. We’re going to be talking about events. This is only fitting being that I am at a an event, a convention style event right now, and it’s funny how when you’re at an event, especially way outside of the normal place that you would normally be, Las Vegas is quite a distance from Grants Pass Oregon. When you’re at an event time seems to not work the same way and you don’t behave in the same way you would in any other time. You don’t think the same way. You’re very outside of your element. There’s an advantage to that. When you’re in business, you’re putting on an event. You can get people to do things, say things, talk about things they normally wouldn’t do, so there’s an advantage, especially on the business end of things. But when you’re the consumer, when you’re on the consumer end or you’re somewhere in between a business to business end of things, sometimes things get switched up mixed up and all the rest. It’s for this reason that I missed yesterday’s daily talk that we have together here on Brian J. Pombo Live, and I apologize. Today I’m coming back to you with two episodes. This first episode is all about events. It’s very specific because we put out a podcast earlier this month where it’s only me and Sean E. Douglas, podcast producer extraordinar where we’re sitting and talking about the Mother Earth News Fair. This is part of the whole recap for the 2019 Mother Earth News Fair extravaganza that we went through. So go and listen to that podcast. It’s episode 20 minutes. I’ve got the link in the description also in the description. If you’re a business owner or executive that’s in the self-reliance space, you’re going to want to go check out DreamBizChat.com and it’ll tell you more about it when you get there. It’s just a quick video. You don’t need to add in your email or anything else. Just go watch the video. Tell me what you think. So go and listen to this episode. It’s only me and Sean talking, no interview or anything of that sort. It’s just very simple. What you’re seeing right now, if you’re watching this on video or hearing via podcast, is a very tired individual. I’m up early today. I’m going to go get some breakfast, get out there and get involved in a live physical event, whatever industry you’re in, find an event that you can plug into. There are so many benefits and we talk about that from a business perspective on that podcast. Oh, very similar to how we’re talking in the interviews that we’ve had with speakers and experts and exhibitors from the Mother Earth News Fair. You’ve got to start digging into this. There’s so much value from physical connection. Even if you have an electronic store, you know, if you’re just on a website doing e-commerce or you have a local business, there are huge advantages to physically meeting up with your clientele or potential clientele. Even if you don’t get any new business,

Jereme Zimmerman – Make Mead Like A Viking Are you looking for a comfort zone breakthrough? Hi I’m Brian Pombo welcome back to Brian J. Pombo Live. Today coming to you from Portland International Airport. Why am I here? Well, I’m on my way to Las Vegas and figure I’d take this chance on the layover in Portland. Yeah, that’s right. They fly me from Medford, which is south north to Portland and then back south to Las Vegas. So what are we talking about? We’re talking about the comfort zone and we’re talking about how to have a real breakthrough because no matter who you are or what personality you have, you’ve got a comfort zone. You’ve got things that you’re comfortable with doing and things you’re uncomfortable with doing. How do you break through without setting yourself up for a business that you absolutely despise? And so I’m going to recommend you go and listen to the two, one of the latest episodes, not the latest. I’m actually behind on updating you. My audience for our Off The Grid Biz Podcast. Which I like to at least give one episode, a review every time here to kind of introduce some more people to it. So we have one of the latest ones that came out earlier this month is a fellow by the name of Jeremy Zimmerman. He is the writer of Make Mead Like a Viking and Brew Beer Like a Yeti. He’s a very interesting writer. As a lot of fun to interview. We had a really great conversation. Go and listen to that podcast. We’ve got a link in the description for Off The Grid Biz. I believe it’s episode 19 go and check that out. Also, we’ve got…and I could be completely wrong on the number on that….but we’ve got the link down below. Go and listen to that because what Jeremy talks about is he talks about the fact that he’s an introverted person. It just a naturally introverted personality and he’s had a tough time breaking out, but how did I meet him? I met him at the Mother Earth News Fair that we had talked about before and he was speaking there. He has written two books. He has spoken at numerous events promoting his book, one at the urging of his publisher and at the urging of multiple other people. He didn’t even want to write books to begin with.

http://DreamBizChat.com Stories sell forever. Hi I’m Brian Pombo welcome back to the Brian J. Pombo Live here in Grants Pass Oregon. Coming to you from the soon to be new office and headquarters of BrianJPombo.com. Today I’m going to introduce you, if you have not met my plastic hand chair. I know it looks like it’s made of concrete. That’s why I got it. I love it. I love the look of it. It is hollow. It is nothing but plastic. There’s a story behind the hand chair. I was living in Chico, California, going to a college there and my father came to town one day and just to come to visit me. We went out and about just kind of looking at stuff. We ended up in this antique shop and downtown Chico. We started talking to the owner and he was showing us on the outside. He had a whole lineup of these big plastic chairs that are shaped like hands. They all looked identical except they were all made on different colored plastics. So some of them were speckled and neon colors. And this one particularly looked like it was made of concrete, which is why I liked it. I don’t even remember how much we paid for it honestly. My dad bought it for me, but I remember it being really expensive for the time, for a large chair shaped like a hand. But the owner had this big long story about it and we didn’t ask for a story, or anything else. We were already interested in it. But for some reason the story stuck in my head. And the story was that this hand chair that it was, that these were the last of the molds that he had made, uh, that he had these hand chairs made out of. He originally had these, he was the inventor of this mold and that these hand chairs and it was him and a partner had a business where they were building out these hand chairs. What they ended up doing is they ended up splitting up the partnership, and ended up getting rid of the molds. So these were the final vinyl molded hand chairs available. He more than likely would never make any more ever again. Not only that, he was going to be closing up shop pretty soon and probably moving away. He was pretty much done with the business and so he was looking to get rid of these hand chairs. They were normally somewhere between double and four times the price of what we were getting at four. But this big long story all around this hand chair 20 years ago this thing was bought. That story is still in my head. I didn’t want to hear the story. I wasn’t interested in the story. I still remember what the guy looked like and his story about the silly hand chair and for some reason I wasn’t interested in it. Yes, it would have caused some interest. Yes, it caused the concept that these were rare, you know, that they were tough to find. That maybe quite possibly we were getting a good deal. All that you can say one way or the other could have been useful to us. Over time you’ll notice, you could see these things, just not anywhere. You could probably get one extremely cheap, they’re probably manufactured in mass in China nowadays, but at the time that guy had a story. I don’t know whether the story was true, but it got stuck in my head. It still sells me on this thing. I’m still happy I have it. I’ve stuck with it long-term. I find it comfortable,

http://DreamBizChat.com One Story Can Instill Trust. Hi I’m Brian Pombo welcome back to Grants Pass Oregon and another episode of Brian J. Pombo Live. Every day we bring you a new tip, idea, perspective, ways to think and act in your business strategies. Hopefully that’ll be helpful to you somewhere along the line. Today we’re going to talk about stories. Again, we talked about them yesterday, how stories can change the message of your business, how you can use them in your marketing and advertising. I’m going to relate with you a story that was related to me years ago and I’ve heard it a couple times since from somebody that’s in the direct marketing field. He had this story that he likes to tell at the end after discussing a business opportunity with somebody. At the very end, he’ll tell this story and supposedly it’s a true story yet honestly, I heard it from one of the people that was involved in it. So I believe it to be true. And how it went was he was driving along one time with somebody else and the guys said, hey, you gotta make sure you put your seatbelts on. And he said, well, I don’t know, we’re not going that far. I don’t wear seatbelts that often. And he said, no, no, no seatbelts saved me and my wife’s life. He said, oh, really? Tell me about it. So then this guy tells him the story. He says, listen, my wife and I, at one time, we never wore seatbelts. And one time we were going out and all of a sudden she said, we’ve got to put our seatbelts on. And so I listened to her, I said, because it seemed right. It was just weird because we never wore a seatbelt. So we put our seatbelts on and sure enough, within a few minutes later down the road, we get hit and the car flips over, totals the car. And what ends up happening is we’re left there and fine. We were fine, a few scratches here and there, and they told us that if we wouldn’t have been wearing seatbelts, we would have been dead. So he says, from that point on, I always wear my seatbelt because seatbelt saved my life. And my friend says to him, you know, it’s a very good story, but seatbelts did not save your life. He says, no, did you just hear me? I just told you the whole thing. Seatbelts totally saved my life. They said, it happened. Everything else, I am certain the seatbelt saved our life. And he said, it was not the seatbelt that saved your life. It was that little voice on the inside of you and your wife that told you to put the seatbelt on that saved your life. How my friend use this as he would say. Now if you put yourself in the same perspective, if you’re looking at this opportunity, there’s going to be a small voice that says yay or nay and you got to listen to that voice one way or the other. Either you move ahead with us or not, but you’ve got to make sure you listen to that small voice. Now just take it from the perspective regardless of whether the story was true or whether the story within the story was true or whether this person was even well-meaning to bring up this story. While he’s in the process of talking to someone about a business opportunity. Set all that aside as if as if none of that mattered and just look at it strategically. What is happening psychologically with a person when they hear a story like that from somebody? For one thing,

It’s eight and a half minutes long. It’ll give you the chance to take advantage of something that has a $600 value. So go to DreamBizChat.com. Check it out. Let me know what you think. We’re going to talk about story today and the stories that revolve around certain products. I have a link down below. You’ll want to go check this out if you’re interested in the story that I’m about to tell you. And this link is from a YouTube video from a very well known YouTuber, by the name of The Carpetbagger and he travels around to really off the wall odd places. And cool places too. It’s funny because he’s at the Chicago, and he’s at the Oddities & Curiosities Expo, I think it was called, and this was about a month ago and a lot of the stuff is really crazy. I’m just going to warn you, not necessarily everything in it is family friendly, a lot of gross stuff and everything that is at this expo that he’s going to, he’s not doing anything, but he’s showing a lot of the stuff that’s going on there. But part way through the video, he’s talking to a guy about vampire survival kits. Now what vampire survival kits are, you’ll see these in places like a Ripley’s Believe It Or Not. I think this guy worked for Ripley’s Believe It or Not. Which they have these places all scattered around the country and places where you’ll find little free show items and so forth. And they’ll have these things called vampire survival kits. The story behind these things and there’s this big elaborate story about how these were created in the late 18 hundreds with all of the books and everything that were coming out during the time, a brand Stoker’s Dracula and so forth that we’re attracting travelers from America and beyond into Europe and so they started building these cases which were gold like they were called either vampire survival kit or something of that sort of kit of vampire killer kit or what have you and it would have. The holy water and the the crucifix and the steak that you could use to drive through the heart and everything else. As there were these big elaborate kits and they have this long story behind them, turns out these stories have been perpetuated through time. It turns out story about these particular kits that are out there or not true is not true at all. It turns out that the, that this was part of a story that was brought onto a story for these kits that were developed somewhere in the 1970s. That there was one particular person that started putting these kits together. They would take items up that were older and place them inside of this kid to make it appear older than it really was.

http://DreamBizChat.com Where is the best place to advertise? Hi I’m Brian Pombo welcome back to Grants Pass Oregon here in the Blank Office? I don’t even know what to call it yet because there’s nothing here. It’s just me and you. So today we’re going to be talking about where you would advertise if you were looking to advertise because it’s a common question I get is where should I advertise? Where’s the best place? What’s the best bang for your buck right now? It’s the wrong question. It’s not the right question, but we’re going to answer it one way or the other today because it all has to do with the three ways. Sorry, it’s backwards to me. So it’s tough for me to figure out where to hold things. The three main areas you’ve got to know about your marketing. Who are you talking about in your market? And we’ve talked about these on the last couple of videos that we’ve put together. Your message, which is your what. What are you wanting them to do? What are you trying to tell them to do? What are you encouraging them to do? Purchase, buy, whatever. What is your message and then media when and where are you going to deliver the right message to the right people? If you don’t have these fully fleshed out, it’s really difficult to know who, where and when to contact, who about what. If you know who you’re talking to but you don’t know what you want to tell them to do, that’ll mess up the media concept. If you know what you want people to do but you don’t have it defined exactly who that is on who you want to do that. If you think it’s for everybody, if you have one of these everybody products or services, it’s good for everybody. I know that’s what everybody says and if it’s good for everybody, it’s good for nobody because it has to be defined. If it’s not defined, you’re going to have a very difficult time and if it truly is something that is for everybody. If it’s something that everybody wants and everybody’s going to be willing to buy, purchase, or get involved with it, then it doesn’t matter what the media is and it doesn’t matter what they’re charging. But if you know these two things, you’re going to know this one thing a lot better and we’re going to go a little more in depth onto what you’re going to be looking for in terms of that in just a second.
