The necessity to know thyself.

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

One of the most common things that I see over and over again, with clients and friends. And people that are in a conundrum is, most people just don't know themselves well enough.

Let me get a little more specific as we get going here. Because I found that people lose track, because they don't really know what they want.

They don't really know where they're going, and they don't really know the end result that they want to get from doing that.

You can't always know the end result, you can't always know exactly what you want or where you're supposed to be. But you might have a clue.

You might know, if you have a clue of where you're going, start moving there, start going there, go in that direction, and see if it fits or not see if it feels right, you got to get moving and trying things out.

You got to get out and taste life a bit. And oftentimes in business, we think that we can't be adventurous, I'm telling you, you have to be you have to push the envelope, you have to take things to the next level to see if it's really the direction you want to go.

And you may want to make just little corrections along the way. But eventually you're going to go start going into direction, where every next next step, as you're moving forward, it seems more and more correct, it seems more and more right?

There just there gets to be a sense on the inside that you're that this is this is going the right way that I'm going the right direction, this is where I'm supposed to be.

It's on the inside that you just feel it. You know, if deep down, there's something you can't deny.

If you're not there yet, yeah gotta keep digging, you got to keep trying different places as much as possible. And it doesn't mean it's not going to be uncomfortable.

The best places I've ever been are the most uncomfortable places.

And when I get over each next discomfort, it seems like I'm going better and better and better, and I'm getting to a better place.

So it's really easy to get caught up with a goal.

Don't get caught up with the goal. But doesn't mean you shouldn't have one, start with one, start moving in a particular direction with your life, with your business with everything else, and get to know where you're going.

I was having a conversation with a friend earlier today, kind of a friend slash client and he was going in one direction. And then all of a sudden, completely pivoted and started going in a different direction. That's cool.

Keep going keep going till you figure out some sense of direction.

It's not like it's always going to be that way. It's not like you're always going to go in that one direction.

But from what I've seen, most people have like a meaning to their life. And they when they when you start finding what you're really after it just it clicks, you got to keep looking for that.

Don't stop, don't get stuck moving in a direction just because you've always gone in that direction, switch it up, try some things on the side, try some different avenues, find what makes your heart sing, and you're going to be in the right place.
