Don’t do it for the money.

ByJowi Witt

Hey Reader,

I know making money is important. You need to make money to run your business.

Many people have said it before me:

Don’t just do something for the money.

Do it for helping the people.
Do it for the bigger picture.
Do it for the fun.
Do it for the curiosity.

But don’t do it for the money.

Time and time again I observe men starting a business.
They heard that Real Estate, eCommerce or Online Courses is where the money is made.
Then they get started.

Until they quit.

I’ve seen it time and time again.
Most don’t last long enough to make it work.
You only earn half as much.
It takes twice as long and is three times harder than you thought.

That’s the reality of starting a business.

You won’t last long enough when you’re only in it for the money.
The only way you’ll be able to last long enough is with your legacy mission.

What will you do to leave a legacy?

Even when it will take 10 years to get there.
What are you going to do that is worth the sacrifice, the hard work and the pain of not quitting?

That is what you should be doing.

I know it sounds hard. It is hard.

There is also nothing more fun when you’re working on your legacy mission.​
You are pursuing your life’s calling.

The major side benefit is:
​Nobody that’s in it for the money is going to beat you, because you’re ready to outwork them on any given day.

They are not able to compete with your drive.

What’s your legacy mission?

Reply to this mail and share your Legacy Mission with me!

Until next time!

  • Build With Leverage, Not Burnout

    ByJowi Witt

    There is a limit to the work we can do. We all have 24 hours in a day. We might have a different energy level to start, but in the evening, our energy will be spent. The only way to do more is by building with leverage. It used to be that we needed to lift the heavy stones by hand. Then they developed the crane. Now one person could pull the rope and pull up the rock alone. We can have multiple levers. When I was younger, I rode my bike everywhere to school. There was a limit to how fast I…

    I wasn’t a great student in school.I did what had to be done.This was the minimum to be average. Yet when I really wanted something,I could go above and beyond to get it.I just went for it and figured it out. Sadly, in our school system,we get taught that the cool kids are not trying hard.Cool kids are lazy and care less. It flows into our culture today,where you get made fun of for trying hard. This makes me sad, because there are so many things we can do.There are so many opportunities. It…

  • Strive for Effectiveness, not Efficiency

    ByJowi Witt

    Hey Reader, One thing I’ve seen over the last few years in the productivity field is the hunt for efficiency. It is the idea that when you get things done faster—you will automatically get more done. Let’s take a trip down memory lane: The idea of efficiency stems from the industrial revolution. In factories, it mattered to get more done faster. Thus, the overall productivity rose. The machine could produce more products in less time. When I first got introduced to productivity, I fell in…

  • The Effective Man is a Dangerous Man

    ByJowi Witt

    Hey Reader, What’s the difference between a dog and a wolf? You might say one is tamed while the other is a wild animal. You might say one is a pet and the other is dangerous. Those are true. But here’s one more interesting observation. When I was studying wild life, I also studied wolves. There is a major difference in how a wolf and a dog move. It is one of the best differentiators for their tracks: The dog strolls while the wolf strides. When you observe a dog, he goes from tree to tree….

  • Avoid This Pricing Mistake Now

    ByJowi Witt

    I sometimes click on ads. It is interesting to see how they are set up. I like to study what they do. On first sight, the ad looked good. The offer is interesting. The price is decent. I always feel the urge to double-check prices. And again: You are being charged $97 upfront and then $497 monthly. There is a price increase by 500% at the end of month one. Again, I found a sneaky price. This is why people get frustrated by online gurus. They are awesome at sales and suck at customer…

  • The Marathon No One Told Me About

    ByJowi Witt

    Business is not a One Time Thing. It is a lifelong journey. Many believe that they can win in business fast. At least when I look at their actions, they work like they are done in one year. That’s also how I got started. Thinking I just need to post 5 videos to YouTube and it will go viral. Then I create one product for $100 and I’ll be rich. Those were the three steps I thought would be what business was about. Now 8 years later—I learned it takes a lot more to run a successful business. The…
