Hi, I’m Brian Pombo welcome back to Brian J. Pombo Live coming to you at the very last minutes of this fabulous Wednesday. Wednesdays always tend to throw me off. For those of you who are regular watchers, it’s the days I’m watching my children at home and my whole days get thrown off. I think last Wednesday I missed, and we do this thing daily, So that’s a no, no. I wanted to make sure I got in just in the nick of time to cover the Undercover Billionaire secret lesson number five and what these are. These are lessons that I got out of watching the Undercover Billionaire. Now normally these are a little less shaky and everything else, but I didn’t have enough time to set up my whole prep and I just wanted to come into you nice and raw and talk about the meaning of a cause because it’s very prevalent throughout the show. One of the greatest tools that Glenn Stearns wields is the real meaning of a cause. And what he got was the heart of this town. Of Erie, Pennsylvania and really focused in on what they’re all about, about being an underdog, about coming up from the bottom, at onetime being a really hardcore growing city, dropping as their industries plummeted, and then coming back from the grave like a Phoenix. It’s really inspiring, but it’s more inspiring for the people that lived in that town. When that became part of the story that he was recounting with all the people he asked to come along, none of them getting paid right away. Okay. He wasn’t paying anybody. They all came along with either the promise of pay, the promise of being part of a great cause. Never underestimate the power of a meaningful cause, the power of something that’s beyond ourselves, that we can be a part of something bigger than ourselves that we can join in with. People love that and you’ll always get the right type of people with the right type of cause. That’s a great lesson and something that you could see that becomes stronger and stronger and stronger throughout the Undercover Billionaire series. Hey, if you haven’t seen the Undercover Billionaire series, I recommend you go out and check it out. It’s all done. The first season’s all done. I don’t know if they’re going to have a another season, but the first full season is a whole documentary style story, done at the Discovery Channel. So go check it out. Also, if you love talking about these types of experiences, talking about how to build business, how to stand out in the crowd, regardless of whatever your cause is, whatever you’re trying to get other people involved in,

I’m Brian Pombo welcome back to Brian J. Pombo Live. We’ve been covering some of the secret lessons that I’ve learned by watching the entire first season of Undercover Billionaire from the Discovery Channel. You can go and check out those first three lessons earlier on. I’ll have the links down below and I wanted to kind of go into a fourth lesson here today. But first I wanted to be sure and plug the website, DreamBizChat.com specifically, it’s for business owners and executives in the self-reliance field. So if you happen to have products and services that help people become more self reliant, I’d be really interested, interested to hear what you think about the video I have over at DreamBizChat.com. Go check it out. The link is in the description. Now, I also wanted to chat with you a little bit here about Undercover Billionaire. If you want to find out the premise of the show and everything else, go back and watch the old episodes or go look it up yourself. You can find old recordings of the show. I never saw it when it was actually on the air. I saw it many months later after the final episode. But it’s definitely worth seeing. Now, the fourth concept that was very prevalent throughout this entire thing is the unexpected things happening so much. Like, say Murphy’s Law, that whole idea that if something bad can happen, it will happen. It’s the idea of things that you just don’t know going in. You could plan everything as perfectly as you want to. And it’s something that I encourage people to do is do as much planning as possible, but you have to also plan for the unknown known’s and the unknown unknown’s as….oh, who was it? They used to talk about that all the time. Rumsfeld, Donald Rumsfeld talked about how, you’ve got your known known’s, you’ve got your unknown known’s, you’ve got your known unknown’s and your unknown unknown’s. It’s the known unknown’s and the unknown unknown’s that you really gotta be careful of. There’s always going to be stuff that you can’t possibly even predict that you don’t know about yet until you come across it. There’s always going to be those things that you can predict that we don’t know about this and we don’t know about that and we don’t know about that. The the known unknown’s that you can plan a little bit for, but you just don’t know the details until you get there. So until you’re faced with it, you don’t know that all the obstacles you’re going to come up against. You could see this in this travel of 90 days where he goes from nothing to building $1 million business within 90 days. He comes across it over and over and over again.

http://DreamBizChat.com Lesson #1 -- http://brianjpombo.com/undercover-billionaire-secret-lesson-1/ Lesson #2 -- http://brianjpombo.com/undercover-billionaire-secret-lesson-2/ Undercover Billionaire lesson number three. Hi, I’m Brian Pombo welcome back to Brian J. Pombo Live and today I wasn’t quite sure if I was gonna make it here. I’m quite tired. I’ve had a long day and it’s been one of these things where I wasn’t sure if I was going to make it, but it brings up a great point about what I think the third lesson is from the Undercover Billionaire series and this is a series that’s off of the Discovery Channel. If you haven’t heard about it, go back and watch my other two videos on it. There’s no spoilers regarding it, but I definitely recommend going and seeing this TV show called Undercover Billionaire. I’m going to talk about the lessons that I got out of the show that I think are real standout that aren’t necessarily outright in your face. One of the main lessons that I got, out of all the different ones that I did get off of it was don’t make excuses. So I could’ve very easily thrown in the towel and made an excuse and not made a video today. I’ve been pretty consistent with doing these on a daily basis. In fact, this is the 250th episode of Brian J. Pombo Live as much in the row as we possibly could. I think I may have missed four different episodes, but we’re going to make sure we make those up before the end of the year. We’re gonna go all the way to 365. And in the meantime, we’re not gonna make any excuses. Now, the real issue that you see over and over again is the communication that he’s had with the people that he works with on this show. We’re talking about the Glenn Bryant character, or Glenn Stearns in real life. He’s working with a whole bunch of people who are basically his employees, even though they’re not getting paid it at the at the time. They’re all coming in on a voluntary basis with the idea they’ll eventually have something out of it, but no promises on what they’re actually going to get. The whole time he’s dealing with different situations where people may not be handling their jobs as well as they could be. And the one thing he always goes back to is he’s watching for people who aren’t making any excuses for their issues. He had people that were relatively new to working on their own and had a little bit of kickback from them because they weren’t really pulling their weight. Then he also had people that had worked on their own, and this is later on in the series, he’s deals with a particular person. I’m not going to ruin it for you, but they’re giving a whole lot. Every time he points out something they’re doing wrong, they’ve got an excuse as to why it couldn’t be done any better and why nobody else would be able to do it and why they were not open about the fact that they weren’t able to do it. That’s really the main issue that you see here. The main problems he has with people are people who...

http://DreamBizChat.com Lesson #1 -- http://brianjpombo.com/undercover-billionaire-secret-lesson-1/ Undercover Billionaire secret lesson number two. Hi, I’m Brian Pombo welcome back to Brian J. Pombo Live. Today I’m going to continue this series that we’re doing on Undercover Billionaire. If you haven’t seen it, it’s on the discovery channel. It’s a series really worth watching so far. They’ve just put out one season, this was from last year. It’s called Undercover Billionaire, all about the exploits of the very wealthy businessmen Glenn Stearns, as he goes undercover to start from scratch and build himself back up again. We’re going to talk about some of the lessons that I got out of the show that I think are relatively obvious, but they need to be talked about more than even what the show said. I’m going to talk about a second lesson to learn. You go back and watch the first lesson and find out a little more about the show over there where you can look it up yourself. So the second lesson I would say has to do with the power of Human Capital. The absolute necessity. The one thing they had to take away from him before putting him in a fresh situation and having him start from scratch. They had to take away all of his contacts. In other words, they gave him a cell phone with none of the connections that he had and he was not allowed to reach out to any of the connections that he had. He wasn’t able to lean on family. He wasn’t able to lean on any of the people that he had connected with and anybody that has had any form of success in their life. That’s really true success. It’s really, you know, been that been something, something big for yourself where where you’ve, you feel like you’ve actually made something great. You know, the importance that the people around you have had on that. And if you haven’t, your success will be short lived. It won’t last long. If you understand the importance of human capital, the importance of your contacts, the importance of your relationships. We talked a little bit about relationship and what builds that yesterday when we’re discussing trust, but today I want to discuss the actual idea of having the relationships to begin with and how important that is. Anybody that builds himself up out of nothing. There’s really no such thing as a self made man. I’ve talked in other times about self reliance on this channel and we talked about how really self-reliance is somewhat of a misnomer because you’re never really truly self reliant. The whole idea behind self-reliance is that you have as much reliance on yourself as possible so then you can help other people. You see it does matter. It does. You should try to be as self efficient as possible, but actual self-reliance, actual self-made people, they don’t exist. Business itself, the pure purest definition of business is the ability for you to be able to trade your ideas, trade your skills, trade anything that you can bring to the table for something else from someone else. In most cases it’s money. In most cases we trade money initially for what we’re looking to provide for other people and vice versa. That is what business is.

http://DreamBizChat.com Undercover Billionaire secret lesson number one. Hi, I’m Brian Pombo welcome back to Brian J. Pombo Live. Today I’m going to be talking about The Undercover Billionaire, which is a TV show that was first shown last year, 2019 on the discovery channel. If you haven’t seen it yet, be sure and go out and see it. Now, nothing I’m not going to give away any spoilers or anything, but I’m going to tell you the premise of the show and kind of hopefully encourage you to go and watch it because it really is worth the worth. The journey, I think it’s nine episodes long. Excuse me if I’m wrong, but I think it’s something like that. Now it’s well worth it. It’s all one big storyline, documentary style TV show. It follows a fellow by the name of Glenn Stearns and he’s a very well known, if not a billionaire and definitely a multimillionaires, built billion dollar, multi-billion dollar companies and it follows him going through the process of pretty close to scratch in a world that he’s never been in before. He always had this theory that he could start with just about nothing and start in a town he’s never been in and be able to build his way up to a million dollar company in less than 90 days from the absolute bottom. What they did is they said, okay, we’re going to take you to this town. They dropped him off into town. He’s never been to, they gave him a cell phone without any contacts in it, a Smartphone. They gave him a pickup truck, an old pickup truck, and they gave him a hundred dollar bill. He had the clothes on his back and that’s it. A hundred dollar bill, cell phone, and a pickup truck. So where does he go from there? How does he go about finding a place to live? How does he go about making enough money so he can eat? How does he go about building a business from that point forward? And you follow him along in this journey and it’s very, very interesting whole lot of lessons and I’m going to reveal some of what I think are the secret lessons that are available. Now let’s deal with lesson number one. The first lesson. These are in no particular order. I’m going back and reviewing the show based on some of the things that I got out of it and the things that I’ve heard from other people who have seen it that I think are important to note. The one thing that’s really important to note is the importance of honesty. In other words, if you’re looking to instill any type of trust, foster any type of trust with your partners, with your customers, with your clientele and your employees or whoever you’re working with. If you’re looking to have long-term trust, you have to have full honesty as much as possible. Obviously there’s certain things that don’t need to be known or said out loud, but you can’t say something that’s dishonest or lead people in the wrong direction because that in the long run, it ruins the trust factor and if there’s no trust, you can’t have a long-term relationship. Without a long-term relationship, you’re going to have issues with income. If you’re looking at building any type of regular ongoing income into your company,

http://DreamBizChat.com Feel painted into a corner? Hi, I’m Brian Pombo welcome back to Brian J. Pombo Live. Today I wanted to bring up the third tier of what we consider the three tiers of BrianJPombo.com and just for review. What we’ve been talking up until now is being Relationship Reliant and System Based. The third one is, Reality Grounded. Oftentimes we find ourselves painted into a corner because we set ourselves up that way to expect a certain result. If you do that, if you get caught up with your goals or get caught up with where you think things are going, you don’t allow flexibility to be able to move forward. I’ll give you an example. This was a situation with one of my clients where we had discussed what the possibilities were going forward in the future. And when we had a meeting, it became clear, as everything started being laid out, that we were going to have to change slightly and go a slightly different direction. It wasn’t a big move. In fact, it was original move that was planned that we had moved back to, or at least that was my suggestion, is that we moved back to this original plan. Now, it would have been real easy to say, well wait, why are we doing that? I thought we were going in this direction. Now we’re going in this direction. And there was some confusion there after we sat back and looked at it though I said, if you look at the big picture of things, we made the necessary changes, but that also made the original plan more of the the thing that we ought to do. It made sense, at least from my limited perspective it made sense and that’s what I was recommending. It’s real easy to get caught up with going in a particular direction and not wanting to pivot, but that flexibility, how do you build that flexibility? One’s experience is going through enough situations to where you know you have to be flexible or you’ll break. The main thing that I see that keeps people from being flexible in business is being too emotional. Getting emotionally invested in a particular outcome and that is being anti reality. If you’re getting caught up with doing things a certain way, there is an emotional comfort zone that we paint ourselves into. It’s painting ourselves into a corner and you don’t quite know your way out of it. How do you get away from that? How do you get back to reality? It’s about stepping back away from your emotional state, noticing that you’re in it, noticing that you’re reacting to something and just stepping back and taking a deep breath and saying, okay, what’s the reality of the situation? What are we actually looking at? What am I reacting to? When you do that, you take that little brief moment to step back and take a look at the big picture. Everything tends to clear up. Sometimes it means getting up and taking a walk. Sometimes it means, you know, getting a little bit of movement going and getting the blood flow into your brain. But it all comes back on the inside. Step away from your emotions and come back to reality. That’s why I talk about being Reality Grounded. That is really the long-term concept that you want in your b...

http://DreamBizChat.com Make your life easier. Hi, I’m Brian Pombo welcome back to Brian J. Pombo Live. You know, we’re always talking about business ownership, entrepreneurship, that’s one of the worst things about this whole way of life about starting your own deal and getting out there and making it from the ground up is it’s tough. It’s not easy, and there’s only so much you can do on your own. There’s only so many hours in the day. There’s only so much effort you can put out. There’s only so much energy you can put out on a regular basis. There’s a limit to it all and you can hire more people. That’s somewhat helpful as long as you hire the right people for the right jobs. But the toughest thing is really growing past a certain point to where you really can’t feel like you can keep all the plates spinning, you know, so to say. Don’t know if you remember, or if you’ve ever seen the videos of the Ed Sullivan Show where they would have that guy with the sticks that they would stand up and he’d start spinning a plate and it would keep spinning. The plates would be balancing and spinning on the end of the stick as the stick kind of moves and then he’d go over here and he’d start some more plates spinning and keep those spinning and go back and he’d hit the other plates. Then he’d set up another one and he get those plates spinning and that’s how business ownership feels sometimes. How do you get around it? How do you make your life easier? The word that matters the most in business when it comes to growth is system. You have to systemize, you have to have the pieces of your business that run like a machine. And most business owners fight this at every angle. We really do. We fight it because we want it to be alive like us. We want every end of our business to be that way. It can’t be just plain and simple. It can’t be when it comes to, you know, accounts receivable, when it comes to taking out the garbage. There’s just certain parts of your business that just need a system behind them. They need to have an ongoing predictable thing that happens every day or week or month or each year. Automatic automation has to take place in your business at some point for it to grow past a certain point. If you’re at the million dollars and above figure may have noticed this. Then you get to a certain point where you start bumping your head up against the ceiling. You need to bring people on who can help you systemize who can create systems. A great book that discusses this is The E-Myth, a very popular book by Michael Gerber. If you haven’t read this book or listen to the audio version, go and get it. The most recent version is called the E-Myth Revisited. Now that’s not a sequel. It’s the original book that they’ve added to it. That’s kind of considered the main one that people go to. But The E-Myth is a fabulous book on why system is necessary no matter where you go. The whole idea is you focus on what works best, what takes the least amount of human interaction and what’s the simplest way of doing a certain thing and then put it into stone and say, this is how we’re going to do it until we find a better ...

http://DreamBizChat.com Is it who you know or who knows you? Hi, I’m Brian Pombo welcome back to Brian J. Pombo Live. Today we’re going to discuss the ongoing, meme that’s kind of out there within the business community. I’ve heard it discussed more and more often ever since Grant Cardone came out and said, it’s not about who you know, it’s who knows you. What do you think about that? Do you think that’s true? I think it’s a huge piece that is always forgotten is that who knows you is very important to how big you can get and how large your ability to network and your ability to grow with your business comes down to how many people know about your business, know about your products, your services, what have you. But I think it’s both. I think it takes both. I think it is about who you know, especially initially because no one’s going to know you initially. It’s about who you know. And then eventually it’s about who knows you. I think those are two major elements that have to come together though you can’t have just one or the other. Otherwise there’s only going to be so large you can grow as a business, as a person that’s looking to create influence or have influence out in the community or the Earth’s community at large. If you’re looking to get out there and really change things and really make a huge difference and make an impact, dent the universe as they say, then it does come down to who you know and who knows you. In other words, relationships. So I’ve talked before about the three pillars that make up a lot of the philosophy that I help train people on. One of them is relationship reliant. You need to be relationship reliant. You need to realize that all business is a relationship. Whether they know who you are or not, your customers have a relationship with your product and service. If there’s a human behind that product or service, even just the likeness of a person, even if it’s someone that doesn’t, isn’t even walking around anymore like Colonel Sanders. If there’s someone there, if there’s an idea of a person there, they’re going to relate with it more and therefore relate with the brand more. This has been proven over and over through time that people buy from people and people buy from people they trust. We’ve talked about that a lot. So how do you build that back into your business? Where do you go from there? Well, sit back and look at the largest growth patterns that you’ve had in your business. If you’re new at business, this is a great lesson to understand. Look at other businesses. Read biographies from people that have done well in business or done well at any form of influence on the planet. It doesn’t matter if they’re a politician or a religious figure. It all comes down to relationships and being able to leverage one relationship to the next. I was having a discussion today with my podcast producer, Sean E. Douglas, who also is a producer here for our video series. He was saying, if you look at all the different businesses that we have worked in through the years, the one thing is true is you bounce from relationship to relationship,

http://DreamBizChat.com Are you catching the clues? Hi I’m Brian Pombo, welcome back to Brian J. Pombo Live brought to you by DreamBizChat.com. If you’re a business owner or an executive in the self-reliance field and you haven’t seen DreamBizChat.com, go and check it out. There’s a video there. It gives a, basically gives you a chance to take advantage of a special process we call the Dream Business Transformation. It’s a $600 value. Go to DreamBizChat.com the link is in the description. Now the real question is, are you catching the clues? Life leaves clues, all along the way. One thing I found in my experience is, I believe in destiny. I believe that things happen for a reason. There I said it. I believe everything happens for a reason. If you don’t believe that, then I don’t know. You haven’t seen the same things I’ve seen. It’s just one of those things that it happens too often to be random coincidence of the cosmos. Everything happens for a reason. And I was talking, I told you I was having this talk with my friend Vinny and I was talking him through the process of becoming a business owner, and doing your own thing and having something that you’re building on your own, building over time. He was giving examples and I don’t even remember the exact example he gave, but he gave examples of things that happened that were like clues that he was going in the right direction. And I’ve seen this over and over again, in my own life. But specifically in business you have to have a keen eye for what seems to be the right way. I always know by the type of people I’m running into. This is a trend that I’ve seen over the years is that when I start running into a certain type of person, not everybody, but in the course of business, when I start every once in a while run into a type of person where it’s like, I’m glad I met this person in a big way. Like this person is going to have a dynamic effect on my life or has had a dynamic effect already in the short period of time that I’ve known them. When I see that and I see that there’s no way I could have gotten to them here if I hadn’t first started over here and gone through the process, if that makes sense. I know that the steps that I took are going in the right direction because I was set up to meet with this person here and just, there’s certain things when you find them, they just kind of ring true. It’s that aha moment. It’s like, ah yes, this is what life is all about. Right. I know this is very airy fairy and other and kind of odd, and it’s not the typical type of business talk, but you have to be intuitive about what you’re doing. It’s about paying very close attention to clues that the cosmos or God or whatever you want to say leaves for you in your path. And there’s all these little Easter eggs that show up, where it’s like, ahh look at that right there. You would have never noticed it had you not gone through all the original steps to get to that point. And you could look back and say, okay, everything that I’ve gone through wasn’t an accident because I needed to find this. I needed to find this person, I needed to discover this truth. And that’s how you know you’re going in the right direction.

http://DreamBizChat.com Your business will explode if you….. Hi, I’m Brian Pombo welcome back to Brian J. Pombo Live. I’m going to reveal what you need to do to explode your business right after this. Have you heard of DreamBizChat.com if you’ve watched these videos you’ve heard of DreamBizChat.com if you are a business owner or executive of a company that serves the self-reliance field, meaning you help people through your products and services to become more self reliant. And I’m going to recommend you go to DreamBizChat.com if you’re not sure if your business is in the self-reliant field, go and check it out. The link is in the description and you can watch the video that’s there and let me know what you think. Now what do you need to do to explode your business? This comes from a conversation that I had with uh, David and Beth Pruitt of Amp-3. That’s AMP-3.net. Go and check the checkout their website. They sell emergency preparedness materials. Great stuff. Really amazing couple. I sat down twice with them, have recordings of both of them and we are finally getting them out on podcast. I was hoping to get it done before the end of last year, but things just didn’t work out. But we will be getting those out sometime this next week. In those conversations, especially the second conversation we had, we discussed something very integral and it doesn’t get discussed enough. I don’t think. It isn’t discussed enough when it comes to the success of your business, especially keeping your creativity going, understanding what made you successful. Because most of us, after we’ve achieved some form of success in business, we look back and we try and dig through and find out, okay, what exactly did we do? And you’ll notice if you read all these different success books, biographies by billionaires and millionaires, what’s amazing to me. Yeah, there’s a whole bunch of stuff that they agree on whole bunch. What amazes me is how much they disagree on the complete opposites. The things that William Buffet says that is a complete opposite from what Bill Gates says. Otherwise you see it over and over and over again and I think it comes from the fact that oftentimes we forget specifically and we don’t really know necessarily because you’re in the moment, you’re working through it, you’re building, you’re building, you’re building, and then you’ll look back as like, Whoa, look what happened and we forget what it was that made us successful. If you want to remember and recall and understand it in a deeper level, you need to do this one thing. This one thing will help you do X to expand on the success as you’ve already, regardless of how successful you’ve been up until now, teach what you’ve learned teaching. This is what David and Beth were talking about, the things that they really love doing more than anything that they don’t feel like they do enough in their business and we’re going to discuss how to integrate that into your business on that podcast. I’ll have that out for you very soon. You can find it over at OffTheGridBiz.com. If you go to OffTheGridBiz.

http://DreamBizChat.com 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?

http://DreamBizChat.com Business owners. Are you lonely? Hi, I’m Brian Pombo welcome back to Brian J. Pombo Live. Coming to you from Grants Pass, Oregon at the headquarters for BrianJPombo.com and I’m going to talk a little bit about the loneliness that comes along with being a business owner. Now being an entrepreneur, being a business owner, doing things on your own. I was reminded of this lesson from an old black and white movie, an old British movie called The Man In The White Suit. If you haven’t seen this, track it down. Go and watch it. It’s a great old British movie with Alec Guinness. It’s the guy who originally played Obi-Wan Kenobi. It was when he was younger and I believe it was the 1950s or early fifties (1951 actually), is when this movie came out. It’s called The Man In The White Suit. And the concept behind it is an entrepreneurial guy who came up with a perfect form of material that never wears out and it’s completely stain resistant and everything else. Well, what ends up happening is his own company turns against him because they don’t want to sell something that will put them out of business, where they only sell one and they never get to sell another one again. The unions are against him because they’re going to be out of work because, because he’s come up with something that’s so fabulous, he’s got just everybody from every direction is against him. It really reminds me of a metaphor for the trials of the entrepreneur that if you’re really doing things right, you’ve got enemies coming from every corner and it’s really an interesting story. Go and watch it. It’s a little slow, you know, it’s an older movie, so it’s a little slower. And the humor is very dry, British humor. But I find it hilarious. I think it’s a great movie. Also, along those same lines, there’s this loneliness that comes with everyone kind of being against you because when you’re the visionary, when you’re the visionary in your organization and you’re running things, you’re building things. No one else can see what you can see. I have a friend named John who says it’s kinda like a dog running after a rabbit in like high grass and nobody else can see the rabbit and the dog’s just going nuts going after this rabbit out in the field. You can see it clearly, but most other people can’t see it. So the people that are working with you can’t see it. Your partners can’t see it. Your wife or husband can’t see it. And so there’s this loneliness that’s natural, that’s very natural in entrepreneurship. And how do you get around that? Well, one thing to do is to recognize it and to realize that it’s not just you, it’s all of us and it’s something we all have in common. So you want to surround yourself with other entrepreneurial minded people, other people that are going through the same thing. Find groups, networking groups and other things, other places you can connect with people. Also have some people on your team that understand that have experience with it. So I highly suggest reaching out and finding a consultant or a friend or an advisor or somebody that you can work with that can help work you throug...

http://DreamBizChat.com Keep going. Embrace your prison. Hi, I’m Brian Pombo welcome back to the Brian J. Pombo Live. We’re here live again. You’re in Grants Pass, Oregon. Coming to you today, live from the Orange Office in central Grant’s Pass proper. And I wanted to talk today about this book, Austin Kleon’s book, Keep Going. I’ve reviewed Austin’s books before. This one just showed up in the mail. I’m already a chapter in. I got a couple books for Christmas, so I got it. I got a couple, Amazon cards and so bought a few books, so I’m all giddy with excitement that these are great because they’re so quick to read, Austin’s books. I spoke before about Steal Like An Artist and Show Your Work. Two of my favorites. I’m already into this one and I love it. It’s 10 ways to stay creative in good times and bad. It’s all about creativity. And when I was growing up, creativity was always described for artistic people. So anybody that was creativity had to do with art or music or things of that sort. It was never meant to mean everything. For me, creativity is everything. Creativity is communication. It’s doing what we’re doing right here. It’s putting out content, it’s developing marketing, it’s helping people to create the life they want using business, which is what I do as a business strategist and you might notice I’m dressed a little more formal today. I had a presentation earlier today with a bunch of my friends. Hi there. If any of you are watching, this book is good for everybody though. This book across the board, whether you’re in business or not, if you want to be more creative, if you want to keep your creative juices flowing, this is a great way of doing it. I’m going to review. I’m going to tell you just about the first chapter that I read here. The first chapter is all about Groundhog’s Day. If you remember that movie and he says, every day is Groundhog Day. I’m not sure if this is showing up backwards to you. On my side, it looks like it’s right. So that’s all that matters. Every day is Groundhog Day. And it’s a great concept because the whole idea is that routine is a constant anyway. So if you remember in the movie Groundhog Day, he has a day that’s repeating over and over and over again. And he’s the only one that realizes that he’s going through all the same motions every single day. It’s an analogy for life. It’s really neat how it comes about throughout that movie. If you haven’t seen in a long time, go and watch it. It’s one of the classics and one of the things he starts doing is building up a routine to be able to survive it. He has certain things that he does every day and he knows what’s going to happen. He knows somewhat what’s going to happen. So he starts taking advantage of them and starts building up a routine for himself just so he could survive without going crazy. In the same sense, we all kind of have to do that because we’re kind of all put into motion in our lives of having certain things that happen at certain times. That, you know, we’ve got days of the week and on certain days we have work and uncertain days we don’t have work and we’re all tossed into this wo...

http://DreamBizChat.com You, “Ryan’s Toy Review” and product diversity. Hi, I’m Brian Pombo welcome back to Brian J. Pombo Live coming to you live everyday today from Grants Pass, Oregon. Here at the headquarters for BrianJPombo.com and today we’re going to be talking a little bit about my friend Ryan. Ryan doesn’t have a public last name. He’s a character of an actor, a person that’s out there in the public eye via YouTube. He started a channel called Ryan’s Toy Review and it took off a couple years ago. It really just boomed and this is after quite a few years of him putting out videos. I think he was two, three years old when he first started his parents, but having toys and having him review what he thought about these toys. They’d buy the toys, bring him home and have him try them out. Well pretty soon it started becoming popular. Toy companies started sending their toys to have them reviewed, giving them free free copies of these toys so that he could try them out on his show. They started making money off the advertising on YouTube. Everything else. It grew and grew and grew until eventually…..so my son’s been a fan for quite a long time of Ryan’s toy review too. To where Ryan ends up getting his own TV show on Nickelodeon or cable network and has tons of merchandise including electric toothbrushes. Like this one here, toothpaste is Colgate. This is a little kid on here. Okay. He’s young. He’s six, seven years old and he’s now everywhere. When it comes to kids of a certain age, you can’t get away from Ryan. And I’m not here to talk about child exploitation or anything. After all I had my son Tyler on here last night. It’s easy to put him in front of a camera, he’s better on camera than I am. I wanted to talk about product diversity though. When you realize who your market is for your products and services, if you’re a business owner, you’ve got products and services out there. When you realize who the market is, it’s more important than what you’re selling. So most of us get into business with the concept of, okay, I really like doing this one thing, or I have an idea for a product. I have idea for a service. I enjoy doing this or I have a knack for doing this. I could probably trade money for this, and it ends up slowly becoming a business. Very few of us start with a type of person and say, okay, now that I’ve gotten to know this type of person, what can I provide to them? Ryan and his parents and his entire organization, I think they have many employees and within this organization making in the millions of dollars. He is one of the top people on all of YouTube and has been for awhile now. Ryan has figured this out or his people have figured this out and that is they found the audience. The audience are children between a certain age and they’re somewhere around Ryan’s age. That audience. Once they found that, then they started producing other channels on YouTube. Channels are the areas that you could put videos out on. So they start a family channel where their whole family is on it, adventures and doing games and doing much more than just reviewing toys. It just their travels, everything else that they do. They started including cartoon characters and puppets and other things...
