What do you do?
Hi I'm Brian Pombo, welcome back to Brian J. Pombo Live.
Today I want to talk about what was a question that I got. And it's one I get often enough that I probably am not clear enough in my social media.
It's good to have at least one video that answers this question is within that's a question of basically, what is it that you do.
I had a question from Ethan over LinkedIn, as a new contact on LinkedIn, I connect with people, if you'd like to connect on LinkedIn just send me a message on there and let me know that you had seen or heard my podcasts or videos and just that you'd like to connect, and I'd be happy to connect with you.
As long as you don't have anything wacky or weird on your page that would that would throw me off or make me think that you're a spammer or anything of that sort.
I don't mind connecting with complete strangers. I do it all the time.
But Ethan was asking me to tell him a little bit more about my businesses, because I kind of have an eclectic, lineup they're on my LinkedIn profile.
I was thinking about this. Okay, how do you go about talking about this in person, I don't have as much of an issue with it because I can usually find out a little bit more about that person and where they're coming from.
I either go with a long answer or a short answer. Sometimes on social media, it's a little bit more difficult, especially if you don't know the person as to why they're asking. And so how, how do you go about answering that question.
I wanted to kind of come straight at it and kind of give you as broad a view as I can, I could always go into more detail if any of these things interest you. So you can always reach out to my social media, or at my website, BrianJPombo.com.
But let's talk a little bit about it.
So there are really two types of people that I work with right now, pretty exclusively now that there might be somebody that that fits outside those lines. I've worked with people in politics, I've worked with people in religion, I've worked with people in nonprofit areas but I tend to stick with two types of business owners.
The first type of business owners, the person that's an aspiring business owner, or new business owner, someone that's looking to get into business.
I can assist them with that I've been in business for over 20 years of in business and some sort I've been in business exclusively for the past. I don't know, what was it coming up on 15 years, I guess now.
I have a little bit of experience with it. And just enough to help a person kind of get going, I also know I have a pretty good network of other people that I connect people with.
And so what I do is I don't charge anybody, anything, when I work with a new person, I basically make a deal with them, too. If if it looks like I can help, I'll make a deal with them to take a percentage of the profits, once they arrive, if they arrive, and if they don't arrive, then I just waste my time and money with them.
But I'm willing to take that chance on most on many of the people I won't say most of the people if you qualify, basically, I'd be willing to spend time and money on you until we're able to get a business up and running.
If that never occurs, or if it fizzles out, which can happen quite often,
