Hi, I’m Brian Pombo welcome back to the Orange Office here in lovely Grants Pass Oregon for once again, a thrilling episode of Brian J. Pombo Live. Welcome, today we’re going to talk about a concept oftentimes referred to as the 11th commandment, which is thy shall not fake thy self out.<br> <br> <br> <br> What’s it mean and how does it relate back to yesterday’s topic of fake it till you make it? Well, as I said, the only way to really fake it until you make it is to basically put yourself in a situation that you don’t feel comfortable in, that you don’t feel is even you, so that you can become the person that you think you’re supposed to be.<br> <br> <br> <br> That’s an odd way of putting it, but go back and watch that episode. What I want to talk about today is thy shall not fake thyself out.<br> <br> <br> <br> And this is such a huge concept because most of the business owners that I run into, and I mean this goes beyond just business owners. This is a human situation.<br> <br> <br> <br> We always find a way of faking ourselves out. In other words, we can convince ourselves that we’re doing more than we actually are.<br> <br> <br> <br> It’s the most common thing that we’re more productive than we actually are. That we’re accomplishing something that we really are not. And it’s because we put so much effort and hard work and thought behind whatever it is that we’re, we’re working on that we think we’ve done something when really we haven’t, and I’m just as guilty as anybody else.<br> <br> <br> <br> This is why if you’re wanting to accomplish more with what you have, if you’re looking to do more with the time that you have and what you have available to you, you can. And it really takes first a little bit of self discipline, a little bit of tracking and a knowledge of self deception and being able to catch yourself when you’re doing something wrong.<br> <br> <br> <br> It’s very difficult to do on your own.<br> <br> <br> <br> That’s why it’s good to have coaches or consultants or partners or somebody next to you that can pin you down on things when you’re not. When you’re fooling yourself, you’re faking yourself out. You’re deceiving yourself. One of my favorite ways, and I’m going to talk about it just briefly, is tracking. Having something.<br> <br> <br> <br> You’ve got to track your progress.<br> <br> <br> <br> You have to have something that you do on a daily basis that can be tracked and then you track that on a daily basis. Daily. I mean you could say weekly basis, but honestly you need a daily thing. You need something daily that you’re doing that is progressing your business, that is progressing your vision, whatever it is you’re looking to do, have a number that can be broken down to a daily thing. Now you’re saying, “well, what should I be tracking?”<br> <br> <br> <br> There’s so many different metrics in my business, so many different things. I could be looking at that. I’m going to recommend this book and over the next couple of days I’m going to pick out three different areas in this book that have been so helpful to me, but this book is just full of great stuff.<br> <br> <br> <br> It’s called The One Thing. It’s by Gary Keller.<br> <br> <br> <br> You need to read this book or go get the audio book. It’s a pretty good audio book too. I think I originally heard it via audio book.
