Two revealing questions for business owners.

Hi I'm Brian Pombo, welcome back to Brian J. Pombo Live.

Yesterday we were talking about two steps for if you're looking into starting a business, we on what should you do?

And one of the main steps, the second step that I went over was interviewing business owners interviewing people, especially in businesses, or in industries that you're looking to get into people that you think you'd want to be like, okay.

You definitely want to examine their lifestyle, you know, how much time do they spend at work, all that stuff?

Hopefully, that's obvious.

Two questions that I think are imperative that you should ask anybody in an industry that you're looking to get into, either as a business owner, if you're looking to invest in a business even that's in that industry, these are the two big questions.

There'll be very revealing for somebody that's open and honest about the business that they're starting.

The reason why I'm talking about this, is because you got a whole lot of people that used to be in business that are that their business failed during the COVID-19 crisis, you have a whole lot of people that have never been in business before.

But because of the COVID-19 crisis, it scared them into trying something new.

People were done with a lot of the employment options out there.

So I wanted to throw this out there, even though I'm normally working with people that are already in business, and already successful in business. I've wanted to kind of toss this out there for the people that are looking to get into a new industry, or people that have never done business before.

It definitely want to interview business owners.

Here's the two questions.

Number one question is, are the first question no, no, if it's the number one question, but it's the first question, what do you like best about your business and industry?

So this is a common question, I asked this on nearly every podcast that I put out there, my interview podcasts.

So what I'm gonna do, we've got a set of interviews that are coming up here for Brian J. Pombo Live.

That we kind of branded BJP Chats, and those are with direct business owners. It's a common question that I tend to ask because it's very revealing when you look at what they like best about what they do.

Number one, what they like best may not be what you would like best. But what they like best is revealing something about the industry that is very big in their minds.

So it's something you want to know, what they like best to see if it is something that you would like, or if it's something you wouldn't like.

What I like best is the people I'm surrounded by people all day, I can't get enough for people, well, person who's really not into people isn't going to be too happy with that answer.

If a person is you know, more introverted, or they're easily drained by too many people, then that's that's might be a little bit of a turnoff.

So these are the type of questions you have to ask.

That's the first one.
