Do This When You’re Just Starting Out

ByJowi Witt

There is only one thing that matters in business:
Helping people more, better and in new ways.
​People want help.

Become the go-to person for your people for the subject.
You can be friendly. You can be nice.

In the end all that it comes down to is:
​Is it actually working?​
Because people only care about results.

Do you help them achieve what they want?

I have also struggled to understand this point.
If you’re not getting results, people will eventually leave.

On the contrary, if you get them results and they are happy with that,
you can be unfriendly as long as you’re the only one in town.

As soon as there is a new entry that also gets results
and has better customer service —
​you’re history.

So you also need to be friendly,
yet only to be friendly and not getting the results,
you’re running a charity.

The charity of yourself.

Your clients pay you only to feel good about helping you.
You’re not helping them.
​This is your sign to get them better results.

This is especially true when you’re just starting out.
That’s why the beginning is hard.

The best thing to do is to do it for free.
This way you’re trading each others’ time.

    There is something that bugs me a lot… It’s a new trend that steals fathers away from their families. It’s the lifestyle side hustle. I’m all about building a business to provide for your family. But to me, it’s more than just delivering a pay-check. It’s about becoming a Present Provider. Yet, I observe so many fathers stepping into the world of business with a side hustle mentality. The goal is to make a little extra money on the side. The idea is often a little extra on cash by making some…

  • Don’t Wait Until You Feel Ready

    ByJowi Witt

    “Well, I’m not ready.”How often do I hear this from others?How often do I think it myself? Too often. The truth is: You will never feel ready. The more you learn,the more you figure out what else there is to learn. Even when I feel like I have something figured out —the world changes and I have to start over again. Every time I used to start over,I’d get faster because I got better. I also know: Everybody else needs to start over too. There’s this constant battle inside: “Just start” sounds…

  • Why Your To-Do List Might Be Holding You Back

    ByJowi Witt

    Our to-do list feels endless. There are so many things we could do. Some are more important than others. I recently listened to a podcast. They were chatting about this one guy being paid a lot to be an advisor. Yet he didn’t do much. He said that his job was not to add to the tasks in the business, but to make sure they didn’t do anything that hindered the business profits. I have also experienced the same thing. The real difference between success and failure is to do the right things and…

  • Business is Boring!

    ByJowi Witt

    Hey Reader, In so many videos I’ve watched over the years, there is often the idea that business is so exciting. There is always something new happening. There is always change. You’re in a high-speed car chase. While I definitely get that—especially when you’re starting out—you always want to be overwhelmed. The reality is that business is boring. There is not much happening once you find a routine that works. The main goal is to stick to that routine as long as you can. I do like to be by…
