Three lessons from the Cash Flow Quadrant.

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

Brought to you by AmazonProofBook.com. It's the book that I have out there written by me, 9 Ways to Amazon-Proof Your Business. If you go to AmazonProofBook.com you have the chance to download this book for free.

It's for business owners and executives who want to explode their business and destroy competition. Really the very concept of competition, how would How would you like it to not have it bother you at all, go check out my book, 9 Ways to Amazon-Proof Your Business. AmazonProofBook.com.

Now, I will tell you one of the first business books I've ever read. And one of the first that was recommended ever recommended to me was this book. In fact, I think it may have been this very book based on the age. It's the whole yellow and everything.

I found it in my stack of stuff. If not, this was one that I had bought for somebody else to read and ended up with it back in my hands. It's a very interesting story about Cash Flow Quadrant. And I'm going to go through three lessons that I got from this book, some directly from this book, some because of this book. But it they're tied to it.

The first lesson I'll tell you the story, how it started.

So what ended up happening was, this is this this kind of story of my business life in a sense, because I was in the process of I wasn't interested, I've always had a slight interest in business.

But not really, I never really saw it as my future. My future was in acting in specifically comedic acting, and had a comedy troupe of sorts that was put together and we were going to be building ourselves. after we were done with college or toward the tail end of college.

While we were at a point where we had all decided we were going to move to the same town and live under the same roof and start practicing our art while we were finishing up college, those of us who were finishing up college.

So

that town was Chico, California. Because one because one of us had already gotten a full ride or at least they they got accepted into CSU Chico, which is the State College there. And the rest of us and I was planning on doing that. And so I when I came to town, a whole everything pretty much fell apart. The entire troop pretty close to fell apart at that point because most of the people all of a sudden decided they weren't going to be moving up there after I had already gotten up there.

The day I arrived, the main person the reason why we were moving there was in the process of moving out as I was moving in to a apartment with two people who were one was a complete stranger, the other I had met previously once before.

So here I was in a strange town with a strange situation, living with strangers, knowing really nobody in town, and really wondering where life was going to take me next because I thought I had it all figured out. At 21 years old. Man I didn't, I had no idea what I was in for I had no idea what was next. And so I pretty much opened myself up to the universe and said,

Hey, you know, big guy, whoever's out there, show me what's next.

And I got in a situation so I was I already had a position. So I had previously I was when I was living in south of there but still Northern California.
