Self-evident business.

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

Happy Independence Day.

If you're seeing that right when it came out, it came out while I'm filming it on July 3, but it'll be out on July 4th, 2021. But the message is the same no matter what. It comes from that first line in the Declaration of Independence, which says, We hold these truths to be self-evident.

What does that mean?

I think it's key, not only to the entire philosophy behind America, but it's key to a point that I like to bring up a lot, which is being reality grounded.

There's three pillars of BrianJPombo.com. One is being System-Based. We talked about that two nights ago. Two is being Relationship Reliant, which we talked about last night. And the third is being Reality-Based.

It's the most important of all three because if your Reality-Based, you'll figure out the rest, depending on what level of reality that you're based in, but raw, excuse me, Reality- Grounded, if your Reality-Grounded, that's what it's all about.

So how do you know what reality is?

And you get back to a whole day I took a class in high school, and it was an extra class, you had to come in early to do it. It had college credit associated with it.

It was called the theory of knowledge, and the basic idea, the main question of the class that you explore throughout the class, and throughout philosophy and everything else was, how do you know what you know and how do we know what we know?

How do we know what we know is real or not?

What was a question that haunted me for a long time. I don't think I ever finished that class. But it was one of those things where I thought, Well, it's interesting to think about.

I kind of let it sit in the background for a long time. And then and then I heard a couple of people say through time, that the secret is that it's self-evident.

Alright, and you're saying, well, what's this have to do with business, and I'll get into that in a second. This has to do with business because business requires you, if you're the business owner, if you're the executive, if you have a really key job in the company that you work with, then it requires you to be very aware of the scenario that's happening at the moment because things are always changing.

You're always going to have to make a decision that just out of nowhere, you're going to have to make a decision. So that's based on everything that you know, at that time, and also based on your gut. And that's really what self-evidence is all about.

Either something is true, deep down, or it's not. If it's not true, deep down, then it's not really one of those hardcore truths, one of those principles, like I've talked about before.

But if it is, then it's undeniable. It's a self-evident truth. It's planted in there.

There's something deep down in each of us that tells us what's true and what's untrue. What's reality, what's not reality, and if your reality grounded, then you've got at least have a feel for that self-evidence.

Self-evidence is what it's all about the entire country is based on it, you can't have a system of laws without self-evidence. You can't have a system,
