This is Brian J. Pombo Live and today we’re going to be talking about momentum and that all starts out with getting to the point of momentum and that just comes from showing up. <br> <br> <br> <br> Just putting in the work, doing what’s necessary to get to the point where things start building on a life of their own. <br> <br> <br> <br> The reason why I wanted to talk about momentum is that it’s really is has a lot to do with goal setting and mindset of goal setting and we’re going to get right into that. <br> <br> <br> <br> But first I just wanted to make a quick announcement to those of you who are business owners or executives in self reliance based businesses. I like to implore you to go to DreamBizChat.com. There’s a quick video there, eight and a half minutes long.<br> <br> <br> <br> You could watch it. It talks about the dream business transformation.

Steve Martin, the actor, comedian, his biography Born Standing Up. <br> <br> <br> <br> If you haven’t read Born Standing Up it’s a great biography. There’s also a great audio book where Steve Martin reads it out loud and it’s, I mean my favorite types of books are biographies. I think you kind of get the best out of somebody’s life.<br> <br> <br> <br> Especially autobiographies are great too because you re you get the person’s own perspective on it and sometimes those can be pretty darn interesting. Born standing up is a great book. <br> <br> <br> <br> In it there’s a whole lot of lessons and probably stuff we’ll bring up in the future because both me and Sean really love that book.<br> <br> <br> <br> The particular point has to do with the Tonight Show, which was hosted by Johnny Carson. This was a show that many people watched. It was on late at night. <br> <br> <br> <br> Well it’s still on late at night, but at the time when it was on, it was watched by many more percentage of people than it is currently watched by now. <br> <br> <br> <br> Because of that, when Johnny Carson had a comedian, an up and coming comedian on the show. It kind of marked the beginning of their career. It was like this huge jump because all of a sudden they’re in the spotlight, they’re the national spotlight.<br> <br> <br> <br> People are seeing them. And depending on how Johnny reacted to you is how good you were considered to have done. And so if you were able to get back on there, it was considered a great thing. <br> <br> <br> <br> If you see any biography or read anything about any comedian that came up during the 70s and 80s, they always refer to the Tonight Show as being the thing that you were trying to get on to.<br> <br> <br> <br> And if you look at any of the large comedians that came out during that time, they were either on the Tonight Show or they were on Saturday Night Live.<br> <br> <br> <br> Those were the breaking out points for a lot of comedic talent and comedic actors. But specifically stand up comedians,
