How to grow your business during the holidays.

Hi I'm Brian Pombo, welcome back to Brian J Pombo Live and we are back at the headquarters for BrianJPombo.com.

And I love traveling, so we got to travel if you haven't been paying attention, we've been traveling down south to visit family during the holidays, and it's one of the things I love traveling, I really like to get out of the house, I love to get out of town.

But I also love coming back home, it was definitely one of those situations where we were very happy to be home. And it's great being here. It's great seeing loved ones during the holidays, but it's also great being home.

And it reminded me getting back into business mode…you can see a little bit of a glare here. Some crazy things sometimes happen when I when I don't clean the lens properly, hopefully you could deal with the ball, just see if we can do that just clean the lens there. That helps No, of course not. Of course, it doesn't help why these things happen. Whenever I'm out of my element and things don't work out quite right, I'm going to try something else, we're going to try to rub that lens with something else to help clear it up.

There we go, that helps out a little bit, little less glare going on there, you can see a little bit of reflection from the light back there. But that's I think that's more natural.

Now, this actually goes into the topic because it's really tough going in and out of the holiday season, especially if you are one of the people that are going in and out of it. If you've got a big family, if you've got a bunch of activities that happen COVID or no COVID that occurred during the season, then you're likely to get things you're likely to get, you know, just big obstacles placed in your way, when you're building your business.

It's just a natural phenomenon.

If you if it's not happening to you, it's happening to the people you're trying to get ahold of and the people you're trying to connect with. So here's what I always recommend to people when you're trying if your job is to build connections, if you building businesses, building connections, whether new partners, new vendors, new, whatever.

What new customers, if you're looking to get out there and need to meet more people and connect with the people you already know, then the best thing you could do during the holidays is just take a deep breath and realize that everybody tends to be in a little bit of a limbo situation until after the new years, until a good week or so after the New Year's or quite oftentimes.

So what I use it for I use this time a year for is just a chance to touch base with people. Now if you have something that you celebrate you wish people happy Merry Christmas or whatever. If you if you want to be more agnostic or PC about it, you could say Happy Holidays, I still think that that's smiled upon by a lot of people and you're not going to offend anybody saying Happy Holidays, I don't think so.

Put it out there, just wish people Merry Christmas wish people happy holidays, wish people happy Hanukkah and all the rest. Just put it out there.

And just send them a message, leave them a text, leave them a Facebook message, live them or whatever, just put it out there touch base with people and remind them that you exist. And let them know, hey, we got to talk, I'm going to give you a call sometime after the New ...
