Hey Reader,
Last fall, I was pretty stressed.
There were so many things I didn’t get done.
I pushed hard.
I was in hustle mode.
I started daily newsletters as well as daily videos.
I was pushing so hard—
it felt like I was lifting the rock of my business by hand.
Trying to walk up the stairs.
With the hustle mode mindset,
it felt like every step I took, I was falling one step behind.
I couldn’t keep it up.
So—I stopped.
I stopped writing a newsletter.
Stopped posting to YouTube.
I took a step back.
I noticed I had gotten out of my line.
There is a fine line between boredom and overwhelm.
Both sides fall into the fire of burnout.
As business owners, as creators, as men—
we always tread this fine line.
The only way to not fall is to stop.
That’s what I did.
Then I decided to slow down.
Overthink my approach.
Start with my client first.
Then build it up from the back.
I always try to start with the end in mind.
In January, I started slowly building back up again.
Now I write my daily newsletter.
I help my clients succeed.
I also started posting on YouTube again.
All of those things are now built on the timeless mode.
I left the hustle mode behind.
This means I’m building a routine
that I can keep up for years to come.
One system that allows me to keep going.
Where I am—
I’m approaching things out of ease, not pressure.
My momentum is back up.
When it’s on your side—life is good.
Don’t hesitate to take a step back.
To then be able to fully commit going forward again.
Keep chopping Wood!
Your Jowi
