False expectations in business.

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

We do this on a nightly basis where we discuss business ideas. And today we're going to be talking about false expectations and how they can really get you into trouble.

In fact, one of the top issues that I see over and over and over again, with human beings in general, but especially with business owners, is, so much of what we get caught up in is false expectations. And I'll give you a quote that kind of wraps a lot of this up in a second.

But first, I want to remind you about my book, 9 Ways to Amazon-Proof Your Business. If you're looking to overcome the competition, go get yourself a free copy of my book, you can get it at AmazonProofBook.com. That's AmazonProofBook.com. Free Copy, you can also buy a copy everywhere that books are sold.

So let's talk about false expectations. There was a quote I heard years ago. And it said that let me see how's it go? I

t's a people of integrity expect to be believed, but they let time prove them. Right.

And I, I've always thought that quote has always come back and revisited me through the years. And the interesting thing about expectations, because I think a lot of times, we set ourselves up for the exact wrong expectation that quotes a great example, even though the quote means something, it takes us in a different direction.

I won't spend too much time going in that direction tonight. But that the idea is that you expect to be believed you let time prove you, right, if you know what you're talking about.

Eventually, you get to a point in life, where you quit expecting to believe be believed. Honestly, I think the quote really should be people of integrity, don't expect to be believed, but they do. Let time prove themselves, right?

That really is what it comes down to is I don't expect to be believed by anybody. I'm too old for that. I know that most of the time, especially when I'm right. People are not going to believe me, and even afterwards will have a tough time convincing themselves that I said the right thing to begin with, even after time has proven me right.

I don't ever expect that people are going to go along with what I'm saying. Even though sometimes it's it's unbelievable the type of things that people get caught up in, and they believe themselves.

But that's, like I said, that's more of another issue. But the expectation is important. Don't expect to be believed. That's the worst thing you could possibly do.

Here's other expectations, but it's it's less about the expectation itself, and more about the emotions that we put into it. When you get emotionally involved in an expectation. So you expect somebody is going to win the presidency. Okay, that's fine, you can expect that.

But if you get emotionally involved to where your self worth is behind that expectation, you're messing yourself up one way or the other. Either either you feel like you have been personally justified by having somebody win, or you feel like you have your insights have been ripped out when somebody loses.
