Have You Shared Your Story Yet?

ByJowi Witt

Many people try to grow their online presence —
​trying to build something unique.

Yet they tell stories that everybody has heard before.

You could share your story.
Tell what happens in your life.

It’s hard to do, so maybe —
you think there is no story to tell.​
You have nothing interesting to share.
Or you think that it’s scary.

You don’t want to tell your story to nobody.

I understand all that.

But here’s the question:
​Why did you start?

What made you want to start this business in the first place?

There was a spark.
There was something painful that made you take action.
Where you no longer could watch and do nothing.

That’s your story.

What happened?

Just share that.

You might not get many views and hate doing it.
You would tell that story to your grandma very calmly.
So getting 1 view on it is already one more person.

I will assure you:
​Doing it for long enough will get you more than one view.

Just tell your story and not someone else’s.

I always enjoy watching people’s stories.
How they think. Dream. Talk.
What they do.

It’s those stories that we tell by a bonfire.

Where strangers become best friends overnight.

Sharing stories is about bonding over shared ideas, dreams, hopes—
and also shared pain, heartbreak, and suffering.

That’s what makes a story.

Find your story and share that to the world.​
Then you will learn about so many other people going through the same thing.

Building a business is about helping people.​
​Sharing your story is the clearest commitment to do so.

  • Working with Constraints

    Working with Constraints Everybody has constraints. We usually try to ignore them. We try to show all the good things and advantages we have. But we don’t want to share limitations we have. Constraints are a powerful opportunity once you use them right. There is a saying that goes something like this: “You can do anything, but you can’t do everything.” The opportunities we have right now seem endless. You think you can conquer the world. Once reality hits, you realize – that you’re still…

  • Commitment is Elimination of Options

    ByJowi Witt

    Hey Reader, Commitment is often talked about mostly as a sense of committing to more. Taking on a new commitment or getting more committed. Yet commitment means:to eliminate alternatives. I know that most think of commitment as adding something new to your life.I thought that way for years. Then I ended up with too many commitments—too many plates that I wasn’t able to actually do. I started to feel burned out. That’s when I noticed how flawed my understanding of commitment was. Commitment is…

  • Share the Scars, Not the Wounds

    ByJowi Witt

    When we often talk about authenticity, we often have different understandings of what that actually means. Over the last year, I have seen a trend come up. The trend has me worried. Authenticity is understood as showing all your emotion, being real in the moment. This does not build trust. It does not show a good manner. Every day has its ups and downs. Yet we don’t need to start with or share all that. There is another way to show your authenticity —that actually creates more trust and is…

  • Followers Aren’t Created Equal

    ByJowi Witt

    I see this so often in the last years:Creators come up. Think all they need to do to make money and drive a brand is to build a big following online. There is the idea that any following is going to make you rich. Your following just needs to be big enough. But the reality is that followers aren’t created equal. I would trade 1,000 followers on Instagram for 1,000 subscribers on YouTube any day. I’d also rather have 1,000 subscribers to my newsletter than 1 million TikTok followers. This is…

  • You Always Have a Choice

    I just read a post from somebody complaining how bad his dream job is and how the system is responsible it’s so bad. This seems like it’s so acceptable today.Everything is responsible for you not thriving or getting where you want to go. The other day, I heard a young man say that he has issues with girls because of his mother. When we don’t have one person to blame, it’s so easy to just blame the system. In my humble opinion, those are weak excuses. You make everyone and everything around…
