Have you ever made a business friend on purpose?

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

Tonight, I had a great experience. I'd like to thank my friend Joe, who's also a viewer Joe Costomania and his fine family came in through town. They were heading up to Seattle, he's from Hanford, California, they went up to Seattle and back, and they made this big long trip and they stayed here in town.

And they came out and hung out with the family for this for tonight and brought food and everything. So it was great. I've known Joe, since we were in the third grade, okay.

And is he has always been there. I mean, like always, like we didn't even, we weren't even like best friends right off the bat, it was just one of these things where we had known each other through grade school.

I moved away for two years, but then came back. But we knew each other through grade school, we got to know each other better and better year after year, we knew each other, we went to the same high school.

So we knew each other all throughout high school and hung out quite a bit. And then afterwards, even after high school, we spent a lot of time together. It was one of these things where we never quite lost track that every couple of years we'd we'd go we'd go quite a while without talking to each other.

But other than that we've always kept track of each other. And it's just been one of those things that's just endured. And it's never been one of these things that has been forced, or, you know, there was never a need for it. It was just a friendship that happened. Most friendships happened by accident. And that's what reminded me about what I want to talk about today.

Because I have a question for you.

And it's a very interesting question, Have you ever seeked out a relationship to have with someone a business based relationship on purpose?

Have you ever done that?

All the best things happen by accident?

We know that but have you ever tried to do it on purpose?

Have you ever seeked someone out either as a mentor, or a guide, or an advisor, or somebody that you can work with directly, possibly a partner, somebody that you can discuss things, but you went out of your way to get in touch with them and befriend them, and attempt to basically bring them into your circle?

And kind of insert yourself into their circle in a sense?

Have you ever done that and how did it turn out?

I'd love to find out from the people that have done that or if you haven't done that, why haven't you done that?

Have you ever considered it?

Do you think that it's fake?

Do you consider that kind of networking and kind of pushing yourself on people?

I'm curious what you think, especially if you're not wanting someone from a person other than advice, if you're wanting to be friends, for a business relationship, or at least for conversation?

Have you done that?
