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.<br> <br> <br> <br> 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.<br> <br> <br> <br> 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.<br> <br> <br> <br> 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.<br> <br> <br> <br> So the second lesson I would say has to do with the power of Human Capital.<br> <br> <br> <br> 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.<br> <br> <br> <br> 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.<br> <br> <br> <br> 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.<br> <br> <br> <br> 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.<br> <br> <br> <br> 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.<br> <br> <br> <br> 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.<br> <br> <br> <br> You should try to be as self efficient as possible, but actual self-reliance, actual self-made people, they don’t exist.<br> <br> <br> <br> 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.<br> <br> <br> <br> 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.<br> <br> <br> <br> That is what business is.
