The funny thing about transitions.

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

I want to talk a little bit about transitions because we're going through quite a few transitions here at Brian J Pombo. Live.

We're kind of restructuring how we're doing things.

I mean, everything's always in transition if you're looking at the right way, but we're restructuring things, we're shutting down some projects some long term projects that we've been working on, and opening up new ones that I've been hinting at for a while, but putting a lot more energy and focus into that.

And the funny thing about transitions is everyone handles it a little bit differently. Some people get really freaked out about new things and trying out something new and ending something that you've done for a long time.

I'm lucky that I don't have a huge staff or anything of that sort. It's all designed to be able to run and turn quickly. And as I've been discussing it with the people that I do work with, we realize that certain things have to change.

At first, that can cause a little bit of trepidation but if you back away from it, it can get really exciting.

Now I have a funny thing about my personality, being that I'm entrepreneurial, and very, very much an innovator, if you will, I love transitions, I love the beginning of anything, the ending of things I'm not that great with but the beginning of new things, make the ending of other things even better.

So I'm always for the beginning, I'm always hot to try it when we're first running out the door. So we're working on a new project and I've got these books all laid out.

I'm highlighting them and I'm organizing and I'm putting things together and kind of drawing out a map of where to go.

Now when it starts getting into the real nitty-gritty and really getting into the into, into getting things done. I'm not as good at that. That's the time I want to start something new, you know, but everybody's a little bit different.

And you got to be aware of that, especially if you're working with a team of people. Everybody handled these things differently, it really is built into how your brain functions.

A whole lot has been put into this in terms of research and I always recommend people look into Kathy Kolbe's work.

Really good stuff, Kathy spells her name with a K and her last name, also with a K.

So it's Kathy Kolbe, go check out Kolbe.com, and look up the stuff regarding the Kolbe index, because they've been able to find that there's a certain part of the brain, right that they call the conative center of the brain, where you pretty much it's set to run a certain way pretty much your entire life.

And that from the time you're a baby all the way till when they put you in the ground.

I mean that that's how you function. And it's even more pervasive than what people would normally consider personality, and it's how you work.

It's how you function in work.

And some people enjoy during certain types of things.

They could do that in a whole bunch of different careers but there's one thing they really have an aptitude for, and everything else they may not have.

And some people they're spread out in their aptitude and other people are,
