 One More New Years Resolution? | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 4:31

http://DreamBizChat.com One more new year’s resolution. I am Brian Pombo welcome back to Brian J. Pombo Live. We get back together everyday here today. We’re coming to you live from Grants Pass, Oregon back in Oregon. I still haven’t even changed out of my clothes from the long drive. Had to drive home with my wife and three screaming kids all under the age of five (actually Tyler is 5 but yeah), which is lots of fun. And now we’re back and it feels good to be back at home even though I love it. Visiting family and everything. It’s great to be home. And today we’re going to be talking about new year’s new year’s resolution that you can add to the list of concepts that we’ve already talked about up till now. Go back and watch the last four videos concerning new year’s resolution. But here’s one more to consider and that is developing a list of negatives, things you will not do in the coming up year. So for this coming up year of 2020, the things you are not going to do for the year 2020. But it’s gotta be something that’s on your mind, but it should be something that you’re not going to do that you’re not moving forward with, that you’re going to put off for a year. Now, it may be, I’m not going to be playing golf for this year and now you want to play golf, but you’ve got bigger goals that you’ve got to accomplish. That type of idea, something that you may want to do, but that you’re going to put it off for a year. It could be that I’m not going to hire a business strategist to come into my business. Now I’m a business strategist. It would go against me to be able to recommend to you to, to not hire a business strategist. But if that’s the case, if you can see that it’s not something that you should be focused on this year, then write it down, write it down, and then cut out all those things out of your eyesight. So if you’re guaranteed that you’re not going to hire a business strategist, then you need to cut that person out. So you cut me out of your life. Quit watching my videos, unsubscribe from my emails and my podcast and make sure that I’m out of your eyesight for at least same thing with anything that you are somewhat tempted to do, but you know is going to take you away from your main goal for the year. So that goes back to our first resolution of having a business goal for the year. At least one a number or a quantifiable idea that you can go after. And then what you’ve got to do is clear out the rest, get the stuff that may be just kind of nagging on you and set that aside from here on out. And it’s just a quick tip. Hopefully that’s helpful. I’d recommend you doing that. I’d love to find out how it goes for you. Also I have a question for you. Do we keep the leg lamp up? I’ve got to take down all my Christmas decorations. I’m not sure if I want to keep the leg lamp up. Or just bring it out every Christmas time. It’s a major reward. I don’t know. You tell me. Hey, love hearing from you.

 Is Physical Print Dead? | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 6:50

http://DreamBizChat.com Is physical print dead? Hi, I’m Brian Pombo wcome back to Brian J. Pombo Live. Tonight, coming to you live from Tracy, California. I’m here hanging out at my dad’s house and I came across this, not sure if you can see that, it says Play Together. This is an Amazon.com paper catalog. If print is dead then what is this? We’ll get to that in a second. Hey, if you think about this whole concept and this debate that goes on about whether print is dying or not, physical print specifically. Then you just have to look at just this last season and….Hey Joe, I could see Joe’s watching tonight, just this last season. All the books, that some place like Amazon.com physical books, physical books that people purchase that they get delivered to their home. So I’ve got, this is my Kindle Fire, right? Kindle Fire. I can read just about any book that’s out there nowadays. You can get one of them, you can get beamed over to this, this is hooked up online. Simple little thing. I bought this for, I believe it was on sale for 30 bucks at the time. Right now you can get the same one on Amazon, 50 bucks when it’s not on sale. You can get just about any book out there, download it onto here. You could read it anywhere on the size, font level, everything else that you want. You can, if I get tired of reading it, I could just turn the reader on and it will audibly read it to me out loud. I can highlight, do everything I want in it. Just about every version is cheaper than the physical version that’s out there. So why hasn’t this completely taken off? Why isn’t everybody doing all of their reading on their phones or on their tablets, on their computers? It’s because physical print isn’t dead. It’s because people still appreciate having some paper in their hands. They still appreciate being able to flip through something now. Maybe that’ll change in the future. Right now it hasn’t changed that yet. Yes. Things like this make competition. Whereas physical print didn’t have competition before, but it doesn’t change things in the sense that physical print just dies. Just rolls over. No, it just has competition now. So let’s look at this. This is a catalog, a toy catalog from Amazon.com. Okay. And my kid loves this. My oldest kid Tyler just loves to flip through. When I was a kid, my grandmother would give us the JC Penney’s Christmas catalog, which had all the toys in it. We’d flip to the section with the toys and she said, circle the things that you want for Christmas. That was like the greatest thing in the world. We’d sit there and we’d look into it and we look at all these toys and it’s got a lot more physical, you know, here it is, the ooze in saliva and stuff and you got kids playing with it. I don’t know if you could see that there. Sorry. It’s reverse on my side. So it’s kinda tough to tell what you could see, what I could say. But there’s something more dynamic about having it on paper and being able to flip back and forth easily instead of just flat on a screen. It’s still flat, but it’s flat in a different way. It’s a strange thing, this physical phenomena, these things still work.

 More New Years Resolutions for You? | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 3:39

http://DreamBizChat.com More new year’s resolutions for you? Hi, I’m Brian Pombo welcome back to Brian J. Pombo Live. Today we are discussing more new year’s resolutions here, getting real close to New Year’s Eve and eventually new year’s here for the year 2020. And the last two episodes we were discussing specific resolutions that you can do, especially regarding your business. The first one would be to design a goal for a year long for your business. Have a very specific measurable goal. The second thing we talked about was talking about picking a new form of media to get out of your marketing in or to communicate with your customers with. And the third one would be the type of marketing I want you to try out this year. If you haven’t yet, I want you to try content marketing now. I have a bunch of videos on this. You’d go to BrianJPombo.com and check out the other videos we have on this, but go and look up anything on content marketing and the basic concept of content marketing is not just about marketing to people who don’t know you yet. It’s marketing also to the people that know you. It’s marketing to current customers, but putting out along with your marketing instead of saying, just buy this, buy that, talk about something of value for them. Give them a little piece of value along with the marketing. Have a form of content, have it be somewhat entertaining and useful to people. If you do that and you do that consistently throughout this next year, you’ll be very happy with the results. I guarantee it. It will change your perspective. If nothing else, it will change your perspective of how you communicate with your customers and with your prospective customers. So hopefully that’s helpful for you. That’s a third, a third resolution. Maybe we’ll come up with another one for tomorrow. Hmm. I wonder if we will… We’re back here every day. Come on back. If you happen to be in the self-reliance field, meaning you have a business, you own a business, or you’re an executive in a self-reliance based business, go to DreamBizChat.com. Go and check that out while it’s still available. And let me see…..also, if you want to find out anymore about me, like I said, you’d go to BrianJPombo.com if you’d like to communicate with me or be able to find out how I might be able to help your business. I’m a business strategist. This is what I do. Go to BrianJPombo.com and click on the link that makes the most sense to you or just watch or listen to some of my videos and audios. Hey, you have a great night. In the meantime, get out there and let the magic happen.

 Another New Years Resolution for You? | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 6:12

http://DreamBizChat.com Another new year’s resolution for you. Hi, I’m Brian Pombo welcome back to Brian J. Pombo Live. Today we’re coming to you live from Clovis, California. Quite a distance from Tracy, where we were last night, but this is a few hours south. This is in the Central Valley right next to Fresno. For those of you who may know a little bit about California, and we are out here today visiting the in-laws for the holidays. So every time I’m out here, or most of the time what I’ll do is I’ll get the wifi password from my mother-in-law and I forgot to do that before she went to bed. So because of that, we ended up with a situation where I had to get out on the road and find a good signal because for some reason in the middle of town, I couldn’t get a good signal on my phone. So here we are, we’re in the middle of a parking lot bringing to you another thrilling addition of Brian J. Pombo Live. Today we’re talking about new year’s resolutions. Yesterday, I gave you a suggestion on a great new year’s resolution to use in terms of your business. I’m not a huge fan of resolutions. They’re a little bit silly to me, especially New Year’s based ones. But if you’re going to do it anyways, you might as well do something that’s going to be profitable for you. So here’s a secondary one on top of setting a really clear annual goal for you and your company. Here’s a second one for you to do. Introduce a new form of marketing into what you’re doing now. Make sure it’s based on who you’re trying to reach. Like we always talk about the one the major things you got to think about in terms of marketing or communicating with either your current clientele or future clientele, future customers. You’ve got to think about who they are and what they’re watching and what they’re paying attention to and what they’re reading and all the areas that media can reach them. You’ve gotta make sure you’re reaching them on the media that matters most to them. So if you’re trying to reach, the retired crowd, you may not find a whole lot of them on Snapchat or Instagram on the same end. You might whole lot more on Facebook. It depends. It really depends on specifically who you’re looking for and where you need to be looking for them. But there’s places people are everywhere. What you have to do is know who you’re going after. If you know that what you already should and you should pay closer attention to that. But once you know who you’re going after, find out another place where you can hit them up. If you have never used video marketing via YouTube. I’m not talking about hard stuff, I’m talking about easy stuff. I’m talking about organic marketing. Maybe you don’t have to pay for it, pay for the production it and put it out there for free. You know, get your material out there in a new spot that you’ve never had it before. And I don’t mean just online. If there’s a way for you to have somebody waving, assigned to bring them to your location. If you have a location based business, then do it.

 Your New Years Resolution? | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 3:38

http://DreamBizChat.com Your New Year’s Resolution? Hi, I’m Brian Pombo welcome back to Brian J. Pombo Live. Today I wanted to ask you, now that we’re past Christmas a bit, what’s your new year’s resolution? Do you have one? Do you ever have new year’s resolutions? I know they’re kind of silly to begin with. Well, why does one specific date mark a difference at all for how you should behave or act or think about your future. I get it, but when it comes to business, sometimes it’s good to have some mile markers in place to have an idea of where you’re at and where you’d like to be by a certain period of time. A mark in a year is pretty good option. If there’s one resolution I could recommend if you’ve never had one or don’t know what you would have when it comes to business, it’s a simple one. The simple thing is pick a number that you want to be at this time next year, you could say it’s revenue. You’d say it’s profits. You could say it’s number of customers. Pick a number that’s big enough that you’d be able to look back over the past year and say, yeah, I put in some good hard work and we hit that number, we did something, we accomplished something and I could see where to go from here. If you go and do that, you’ll be happy with the results and using the first of the year as kind of a setting point or allow you to also remember where you’re going from here and what the point is and where you started, at which point you started to the end game. So just a quick notion, and it’s funny, it’s such a simple concept that how few actually do it. You know, how many of us actually have a number that we say, okay, by this time next year we’re going to be here. Think about that, consider it. Tomorrow I’m going to have another resolution for you to kind of think about. Another thing that you might want to add to your list. But the meantime, if you are a business owner or an executive that’s the self-reliance field, I’m going to recommend you go check out DreamBizChat.com. There’s a quick little video there. Love to get your input on it. DreamBizChat.com talks all about the Dream Business Transformation. You can find that link in the description. You click and go directly to it. Hey, we’ll see you tomorrow. We’re back here every day. Have a good one. In the meantime, get out there and let the magic happen.

 Holidays & Unpredictable Predictability | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 2:16

http://DreamBizChat.com Holidays & Unpredictable Predictability. Hi, I’m Brian Pombo welcome back to Brian J. Pombo Live. I have talked with you quite quietly because of the whole house asleep, but I wanted to remind you about the holidays and how these can be pretty unpredictable, but you can’t predict that they’re going to be unpredictable based on the time of year, based on previous experience. These are things that you can schedule for unpredictability. So I knew I wasn’t going to get a full on heavy duty video out tonight. But I knew I could give you a small snippet and this is the small snippet. It’s all on predicting on unpredictability. If you know you’re going to have the kids along for a business trip or any type of trip, if you know that any of these type of things are going to happen that are unpredictable, holidays are going to come and go. You can see them coming on the calendar. Always try and predict those unpredictable times. Like tonight, one of my kids was not sleeping well, but kids always act crazy during the holidays, you know, with all the sugar and everything else. These types of things happen. So be ready for it. Always be ready. Go check out DreamBizChat.com. Come on back tomorrow we’ll have another talk, maybe something a little bit more deep, a little more meaningful, and we’re back here every day. One way or the other. Brian J. Pombo Live. Have a great one. Get out there and let the magic happen.

 Merry Christmas & Seasons Greetings | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1:42

http://DreamBizChat.com Merry Christmas and season’s greetings. Hi, I’m Brian Pombo welcome back to Brian J. Pombo Live. Just wanted to wish you all Merry Christmas tonight. It’s Christmas Eve and into the night. And tomorrow’s Christmas. Just wanted to say Merry Christmas for all of those of you who are celebrating other things just to, happy holidays and so forth. Have a great night. Always remember that we do business to improve our lives and make things better all around. So just keep in mind the things that matter most. Family, friends, and your religion and everything else, all that stuff. It’s what matters most. Keep that in mind and hopefully you take some time off and chill out this holiday season. Hey, have a great night. Get out there and let the magic happen.

 How to Make Them Move | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 5:39

http://DreamBizChat.com How to make the move. Hi, I’m Brian Pombo and welcome back to Brian J. Pombo Live. Coming to you live, today from inside my car. It’s late at night. Everyone in the house is asleep and I am not at home. I am way far away in Tracy, California visiting family, but I still wanted to make sure I came out and said hi to you and had a quick little concept for you to take along with you here on the Eve of Christmas Eve. There’s a concept by a guy named John Carlton. John Carlton is a famous copywriter and a marketing expert and he came up with this idea of thinking about your customer, however you reach them, whatever media you use to reach your prospective customer. Thinking of that prospective customer as an amorphous blob or slaw like creature that is very immovable, unlikely to do anything on their own. What is it going to take for them to reach over and reach for the phone or reach for their smartphone and go to a website or do whatever action you’re asking them to do. Because if you think of them like that, you’re more likely to design a process that will get them to actually move to do what you want them to do. Which is a lot more difficult than it looks and anyone that’s ever done any type of advertising, marketing or anything else knows it’s not as easy as you think unless you have a very clear cut offer and you make sure that there’s some scarcity behind it. Now what’s scarcity? Scarcity is the idea that it’s going away, that it’s not going to be there forever, that there may not be that many available of a particular item or that this particular offer isn’t going to be around forever. These are all concepts of scarcity. And he said that if you think of it on a big long graph and you think of it as the least likely that someone’s going to do something is the offer that comes out and says, Hey, this is always going to be available at this price. Call me anytime. 24 seven got a million ways for you to get ahold of me, and when you’re ready, you go for it. But you know, you don’t have to do it today. You don’t have to do it tomorrow. It’ll always be here. That’s the absolute opposite of scarcity and it’s the most unlikely way to get anyone to do anything is if it is completely available and there’s zero pressure to move forward whatsoever. People are unlikely to do it because even if they really want to, they’ll put it off just because it’s like, well, I’ll get to it eventually. I don’t want to part with my money. I don’t want to do that right now. I’ve got other things I’d rather be doing, so on, so forth. So on the other end of it is, Hey, this is going away tomorrow. It’s going away soon. It’s going away in the next hour. And if you don’t do it, you’re going to ruin this for the rest of your life. You’re going to completely hate yourself if you don’t get this done right away. Those are the two extremes and obviously there’s only so far you can go with the scarcity thing and you don’t want to be think about it or unreal, but at the same sense, you do have to let people know what, what they’re going to lose if they don’t act immediately. If you put some barriers there to help people,

 Why You Should Give Yourself Away | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 7:02

http://DreamBizChat.com Why you should give yourself away. Hi, I’m Brian Pombo welcome back to Brian J. Pombo Live. Coming to you live everyday. Today no different, from Grants Pass, Oregon here at the headquarters for BrianJPombo.com. Today I’m going to be talking about why you should be giving yourself away. And that is, that goes across the board, especially if you’re in business. If you do anything where you’re exchanging money for your time, I want to talk about why you should be giving yourself away. And it’s a term, it’s a phrase that comes from this book, the Seven Lost Secrets, by Joe Vitale. This was a 1992 book, about gaining some lessons from an old ad man. Bruce Barton was kind of a lost figure from time. He’s one of these people that was extremely popular during his time, but it’s kind of been lost in history, except for those who really pay attention to the history of advertising. A copywriting nerds like me. But this book, this is really a good intro book, a nice simple read. I’m gonna tell you what number six is off these last secrets. I’m not giving away the book here. There’s six other secrets and there’s more to it. I’m not going to read the chapter all the way through for you, but it’s about giving yourself away. The whole idea is that if you’re out there, especially if you’re exchanging time for money, especially if you’re exchanging your talents or your knowledge for money, like what I’m doing here. A lot of the information that I give, I completely give it out there, free of charge and toss it out there and put it out into the world. And it’s not because I don’t want to get paid, I have ways of getting paid. But if you are not stingy with yourself and your time, the whole idea is that you’re going to get something back. I’ll read you a couple of quotes from Bruce Barton on this. He says if a man practices doing things for other people until it becomes so much a habit that he is unconscious of it all the good forces of the universe lineup behind him and whatever he undertakes to do. That was Bruce Barton in 1927 and it uses a bunch of examples of the things that he did during his life where he just didn’t. Sometimes you see, you’ve got to know when to tow the line and when to ask for money and when it’s necessary. Because it’s absolutely necessary to get paid for the amount of time that you put out there to get paid for the work that you’re doing for others and that’s where you shouldn’t have to worry so much about it and you need to be willing to be able to put some out there in order to get something back. This is why I put out all these videos on a regular basis. I mean this among other reasons that I put these out there, these videos and audios for people to partake. It doesn’t bother me. It helps me to be able to put this stuff out there. And I know people are getting value from it because I hear so much back from people, either in comments or personally to me. People that know me telling me how much they enjoy hearing this stuff. And the whole idea is for you to do the same. That whenever your expertise is, put it out there. Yes,

 Never Assume What Is “Success” | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 9:46

http://DreamBizChat.com Never assume What is “Success.” Hi I’m Brian Pombo welcome back to Brian J. Pombo Live. Coming to you live every day today from Grants Pass, Oregon. I apologize for the last few episodes we’ve had been having technical difficulties broadcasting out and have some little glitches. We’re trying to work it out. Hopefully everything works out better today. And I want to talk about assuming and what it does, especially when it happens to do with marketing. So I’m going to give you a concept, a very specific concept, and then bring it out to a very broad principle. What we’re going to cover goes straight into some tactical things here. I got this postcard, larger postcard in the mail. Merry Christmas from one of the local churches. I’ve never been to this church. I don’t know anything about them. This is a River Valley Church that meets at Lincoln Savage Middle School over on New Hope Road, and says, Christmas Eve in Murphy. Now, oftentimes people will show me a piece like this. Sometimes, in fact, one of the most common things I could ask for is my opinion on the usefulness of a particular political mailer, which is a little bit more, but in terms of what they’re trying to achieve. I like this version because it’s like, what was the point of this mailer? And you should never assume you know what their concept of success is based on what they wanted to do with it is how I would grade this. I wouldn’t just grade it on a very basic sense of marketing because I can use a million different things that I would improve or not improve on. But it all depends on what you’re wanting the end user to do what you’re expected to get out of it. Now perhaps them sending this out to everybody. This was at every door. Yeah. This wasn’t every door a piece of direct mail. So that means it gets sent out. It’s blanketed out there. It isn’t specifically sent to any one person. There’s not even an address name on it. It doesn’t even say, the current occupant or anything of that sort. It’s just a local postal customer. So with that, when you’re buying a piece of mail like this and oftentimes you’ll see this with a postcards, you see a piece of mail that gets sent to everybody. This is something they call, every door direct mail. It’s done by the post office has been for a number of years now. And it’s an inexpensive way to be able to just blanket something out if you’re trying to get within a specific radius. So you can just hit the postal routes and so forth that you’re looking to get. Not just the zip code, but down to the postal routes. So it’s a pretty, pretty interesting, that’s an interesting tactic if you’re understanding anything about direct mail. But the other thing is, as it says, Merry Christmas from your neighbors at River Valley Church Murphy. So they’re giving you a little bit of a feel good on one side. On the other side it says, please join us for our second annual Christmas. Even Murphy’s not far from here. We’re in Grant’s Pass technically, but Murphy’s right down the road,

 How to Get Free Publicity For Your Business | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 8:01

RaeJean Wilson -- GloryBee How to Get Free Publicity For Your Business. Hi, I’m Brian Pombo welcome back to Brian J. Pombo Live. Coming to you live every day, today from Grants Pass, Oregon here at the headquarters for BrianJPombo.com and today we’re going to be talking about how to get free publicity for your business and what is free publicity? What is it? Free publicity is all about getting attention to any type of a free public forum, media and so forth. I’m going to give you a real quick tip, one of the most unused areas in the terms of publicity. This doesn’t work as well for local unless you have local versions of these, but it’s podcasts. Podcasts, they’re out there. They’re out there forever. Most episodes are out there forever. Even if a podcast keeps producing more episodes, the old episodes, oftentimes as long as the person is still paying their hosting bill, that stuff continues to go on and on forever. And sometimes other websites will pick them up and put them out there even after the fact. And so you have websites like Archive.org and so forth that will grab onto these things and sometimes you can’t get rid of them once they’re out there, which is really good for you if you are looking to have that type of impact online. Now, like I said, if you’ve got local podcasts. Podcasts that have to do with your area, then that’s a great thing to plug into. But if you have more of a national or international flare to your business, then you’re going to want to look for podcasts that have something to do with your niche, with your industry. Podcasts that people who would become your customer or client. We’d be listening to them. Is this one which we start out as a video, a vlog that goes out every day, and then the audio gets put out there every day via podcast. So we’ve got this as a podcast, Brian J. Pombo Live. I also have another podcast, which I’ve mentioned on here before called The Off The Grid Biz Podcast. That has everything to do with businesses that are in the self reliance field where I go and I interview them or people something having to do with business or something having to do with self-reliance in that area or some type of lesson for someone who has a business in the self-reliance field. So that’s The Off The Grid Biz Podcast. You’ll find that at OffTheGridBiz.com. Now with those two podcasts, how often do you think I’m hit up to try and get onto my podcast? You’d be surprised. I don’t get hit up hardly at all. Once in a while someone who knows me and may asked to be on it, but I’m always asking people, I actually have a bumper on the end of my Off The Grid Biz Podcast asking if you know somebody or if you are, he’d be on the show, let me know. And we’ve got a special spot on the website where they can sign up. So that’s still available. If you’re interested. Even if you’re interested on coming with me live on here, let me know and we’ll, we’ll see if we can arrange something because I love to have guests and I love to be able to talk to people. Not that I have a lack of them,

 The Perfect Christmas Gift for Your Friends & Family? | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 9:47

http://DreamBizChat.com What is the perfect Christmas gift for your friends and family? 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 head quarters. You heard the ding, that means I forgot to turn my phone off. Forgot to silence it before I came on the air. Rather forgetful. If you haven’t noticed yet, yesterday I forgot to plug my microphone all the way in so you couldn’t hear me all that well. Hopefully you got to hear the message though. Today’s message has to do with a Christmas gift for you and your loved ones. And it’s not something that you can easily wrap up in most cases. It’s not something that is all that easily delivered or even necessarily even wanted by the other party. That’s right. It’s a trick question in a sense because it’s one of those things that it really is the gift that keeps on giving and we’ll talk a little bit about that. It’s business ownership. It’s entrepreneurship, it’s doing your own thing and having something that you could work on, either part time or full time, but being able to put as much time as you want into it and being able to have it be yours, that you own it, that you run it and that it means something. It’s deeper. There’s a lot of opportunities out there that we’re all familiar with and many of us came into owning our own business through different opportunities. Maybe direct sales or network marketing or any of the other kind of little niche projects out there that people get involved in. And they may not even make money at them. Their introduction, a lot of people call it the introductory drug into the world of entrepreneurship. But it’s somewhere to start. It’s something you can start with, you can take your time with and start figuring out what business ownership is all about. And if you’re a business owner, let me ask you something. What would have happened if you did not ever have a chance to own your own business now? You could ask any business owner and they all have a different back story. Some of them have always had their own business since they were a little kid. Some of them have worked almost their entire lives as employees and just recently started their own business and are still trying to find their way around it. Other people, somewhere in between. They stumbled into owning a business. It wasn’t even something that they meant to do. They ended up buying it from or ended up inheriting it or something of that sort. But it’s life changing, owning a business. It changes your perspective on things. It changes everything. On my podcast, The Off The Grid Biz Podcast, which you could find it OffTheGridBiz.com we interview different business owners. Well, most of them are business owners, some of them, they’re doing something in the self-reliance field that relates back to business. But many of them are business owners and they have a completely different perspective. But one thing, unless they’re on their way out, most of them are very thankful for the ability to have owned a business and being able to see things from that perspective and be able to have that type of responsibility.

 Can You Let the Magic Happen? | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 6:25

http://DreamBizChat.com Can you let the magic happen? Hi, I’m Brian Pombo welcome back to Brian J. Pombo Live. We do live every day here. Today we are in Grants Pass, Oregon. In the headquarters of BrianJPombo.com and I wanted to talk a little bit kind of playing off of yesterday’s talk that we had together. I wanted to talk a little bit about just letting things happen and my sign off at the end every show. I’ll end this one the same way I sign off, what I say is, get out there and let the magic happen. You may maybe a little bit curious, a little bit different and you may wonder what it means. So it ties directly into how I see handling stress and handling emotional stress and being able to distance yourself from all that and handling things properly. The more I’ve seen that the less I get wound up in the day with stresses of the moment. You know, the day to day emotional drains, the getting upset, getting angry, getting scared, all that stuff. The more you get caught up with all those emotions, not that you shouldn’t have them, we all need emotions, but if the less you get caught up with them and letting them control you, then the more magic happens in your life. Like absolute magic things you can possibly write yourself. Things you can’t set a goal for, things you can’t possibly dream about. They happen on their own, but it takes letting them happen. It’s an anti-willful thing. It’s stepping back and just letting things happen. I’m not saying that you’d sit down and just be lazy. I’m not saying that you’re not. Go out there and try and get something out of your life and try and make something different and build things and everything else. But the less effort you put into it, the willful energy effort that you put into it, the better things turn out and the more you’ll see what the next step is to take. because it becomes real clear when you don’t make it about the emotional give and take when you’re not worried about what someone else is gonna think. When you’re not worried about what the absolute outcome is in every situation. Sometimes you just gotta do the right thing because it’s the right thing to do with the moment. The only way you’re going to be able to see that clearly is if you’re not angry and caught up in the conversations in your head and all the little emotions that jump around all of our brains. So it’s all about letting the magic happen. I truly believe, at least it has in my life and for the people that I’ve been able to pass this onto, that they’ve been able to implement the same kind of success mindset is the more you step back and let magic happen, the more it will. It’s automatic as if it’s just meant to happen that way and really most of the trouble that happened in our lives happened because we’re created now. I’m not saying bad things don’t happen to you whether you like it or not. Bad things are always going to happen to you. It’s going to rain, it’s going to pour, you know, bad things or always occur, but they don’t have to stay a bad thing. They could be a bad situation.

 What Does Stress Say About Your Business? | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 4:58

http://DreamBizChat.com What does stress say about your business? Hi, I’m Brian Pombo, welcome back to Brian J. Pombo Live. Today’s a quick one just about the concept of stress. This came to me while watching some people handle the stress within their own business today and also I saw a video online where a fellow was talking about how when he started to learn how to relax in business, everything got better. So what does the stress say about you and your business? It really says is that you’re not handling things right, and I’m not talking about stress. If you’re thinking like friction, because friction is a natural thing, you know, even a little bit of uncomfortably, that type of friction is necessary. It’s absolute, it’s guaranteed to happen. You’re going to be uncomfortable in business and it’s a good thing. What I’m talking about is the emotional stress is the times when you just aren’t handling things properly. And when you don’t handle things properly, you take it home with you. If you’re lucky enough to have a home. If you have a family at home or what have you, and if you don’t have anyone at home, then you don’t have anyone to take it out on. You can never escape it and it’s mainly because you just aren’t handling things right. It’s not about the circumstances of your business that’s pulling you down. The circumstances are easy thing to blame. It’s how you’re handling the circumstances and your difficulty in order in enabled that’s getting in the way of you growing your business comes back to that stress. If you can’t handle the stress right, you’re not going to be able to see opportunity when it comes along. You’re not going to be able to fix things when they need fixing. It’s all something to think about. How do you go about handling stress properly? How I’ve learned how to do it is just backing away from the emotional end of it. If you can back away from an emotional reaction of it and just let it ride and watch it, whatever’s bothering you, watch whatever’s tempting you to be bothered. If you can just be a little bit separate from it and just watch it from a little bit of a distance, you’ll figure out how to get past it. Just like you have every other time. If you pull back far enough, you’ll realize you’ve always had these things. There’s always been something in your way. There’s always one of these things that’s insurmountable that you can’t get. Imagine you’ll ever get past. You will get past it one way or the other. You will get past it, but getting stressed about it is going to ruin your health. It’s going to ruin all the relationships with the people around you and it’s going to make the whole process a whole lot more difficult. Learn how to deal with your stress and you’re going to figure out all those little details in your business that’ll make things better. I know from experience when I learned well through time, as I’ve learned more and more and more about how to handle stress better, my business has gotten better and the whole path in front of me gets a lot more clearer and hopefully t...

 3 People You Do Business With | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 8:46

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D\u002d\u002dJVY4y68U\u0026feature=youtu.be http://DreamBizChat.com Three people you do business with. Hi, I’m Brian Pombo welcome back to Brian J. Pombo Live. Coming to you live every day from Grants Pass, Oregon and here once again in the headquarters for BrianJPombo.com. Today I’m going to talk about the different people that you are guaranteed to work with one way or the other. And this is on the book, Winning Through Intimidation by Robert Ringer. If you haven’t read this one, it’s a classic, absolutely worth reading. It’s not about winning by intimidating but winning through the intimidation of others. So how do you go about handling that first is really understanding who you’re dealing with. What about human nature is just mutable, it’s just common no matter what. If you’re dealing in any form of business, you’re going to deal with three different types of people. And he mentions a four fourth type, and I’ll talk about that also, but the main thing is understanding the three because these are the three antagonists that you’re going to run against when it comes to business. Because oftentimes in business is, I’m looking to get something or give something and get something in return and the other party’s looking to do the same thing. So I might be providing services and they might be providing money or vice versa, or I’m providing product and they’re providing money and vice versa. Regardless of whatever business in, you’re in a back and forth type relationship. Best thing about online, a lot of online marketing, e-commerce is that it’s set prices. There’s not whole lot of haggling. They buy it, they get the product, they’re happy with it, and that’s the end of the story. If they’re not happy with it. They return it. You give them their money back. I mean it’s pretty straight-forward and very simple and hopefully your business works a lot like that, but the more interaction you have with people and the higher the prices that you deal with, you tend to deal with very strange types of people. If you work around the people long enough. I read this book years ago and it was right before I had a client and we’re going to call him Phil. And Phil was a client and you’ve probably heard me talk about this previous times because I had so many great interesting stories of Phil even though we only worked for a handful of months together. This particular client is a type of person that Robert Ringer was talking about. I’m going to read you this section where he talks about the three different types of people. See if these commonalities fit with the people that you work with. Type number one is the person that lets you know from the outset, either through his words, his actions or both that he’s out to get your chips, poker chips, you know, gambling. He then follows through by attempting to do just that. That’s time number one. Type number two who goes to great lengths to assure you that he would never dream of pilfering your chips, often trying to throw you off guard by assuring you that he really wants to see you get everything that’s coming to you. Then like type number one and without hesitation he goes about trying to grab your chips. That’s number two.
