Books necessary for business growth.

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

I talk a lot about books that I like, ones that I've run into through the years ones that I've reread over again. And I do that a lot on this channel.

But it's done with a rather assumptive attitude as if you already know why books are a good thing to have when it comes to business success.

Are they necessary?

Absolutely not.

I mean, there are a lot of people that have been successful in business through the years that have not, and have not been the voracious readers and have flaunted the fact that they don't read much when it comes to books or success books or what have you.

That's all fine and good.

What I found though, across the board, is that if a person is is not achieving the successes that they're looking for or would like to go to another level. Books help to take you to that next step, because it just helps you to change your mindset to be able to do what you got to do.

Sometimes you just got to hear someone who's already been through it, you know, or hear of people that have already been through it.

So whether you're reading a biography or an autobiography, those are two of the most, the best places to go to, to find people that you relate with.

To see what they did to get from point A to point B. These are all very useful.

Now, most of the people I talk to, on this podcast on these videos and audios is are people who are already successful to some extent or another.

I want to talk to you also here and not just make this just for people who are searching for business success, but people who have already achieved some success.

That there's two things I recommend doing.

Number one, even if you are not, if you have never been a reader and have achieved success, I'm going to recommend that you also spend some time to look for material that's helpful, not just to you, but to other people.

You see, no matter what you've probably have employees, or you have people that you work with, you may have vendors, partners, or may have partners in the future.

You're gonna find people that don't naturally think the way you think now that could be the way you were raised, or the way you were raised, you know, you may have been isolated to a lot of the stinking thinking that a whole lot of us grow up with.

If that case, you have to realize that most people just don't think the way you do naturally. And that's okay.

It doesn't mean that it's impossible for them to think any better, it is possible for them to think better, it is possible for them to drop a whole lot of the mythology that most of us walk around with in our heads, that just isn't true.

That holds us back in life.

I'm not just talking success but successes, it's a great example of where you can see this happening of how people shoot themselves in the foot over and over again, with just stupid ideas that they grew up with in their heads.

That's a great importance of books I'm holding here, this is the I've shown this to you before this is the unedited 1937 text of Think & Grow Rich, you can get these out there now. I think I got this off Amazon or something and they've got...
