Moving Faster by Slowing Down

ByJowi Witt

I often have the urge to do more.
To find more things to do and try to speed things up.

Patience is important.​
It’s not something that comes natural to me.
I want to have a thought become reality ASAP.

As a result, I have the tendency to lean into the hustle.
It’s an urge I need to fight actively.

Sometimes it’s faster to slow down.

Analyze. Observe. Think. Plan.

Then take a step forward that actually makes a difference.

The real power is to do only things that matter.
Ignore tasks that just run you crazy.

Focus on tasks that make a leap forward.

Build your life like you are a car.
When a check engine light pops up, you will go and have it checked.
You won’t keep driving full speed, pushing your car to the limit.

Or you will risk that it breaks down completely.

It comes to a full stop.

If you took a break to have it checked out, you could be back in no time.
Easily making up for the time lost.

In reality, it’s not that simple.
We don’t have a check engine light.
We don’t have parts that break so fast.

We can live for years not knowing what is actually the broken piece.

That’s where it’s helpful to have a coach.

Find a mentor who has done it before.
Then you can follow his steps.

He can also tell you some subtle worn spots that your business throws at you.

It will make a big impact when you’re ready to take your business to the next level.

  • You Won’t Have a Harvest Without Sowing

    ByJowi Witt

    I see this every day online. People struggling to get a client. Struggling to make money. I have been there before. Aiming to reach a monthly income, ready for the harvest — and then coming up empty. No income. No clients. Just crickets. I thought I had good product. But in reality, I was more focused on what I would get out than what I gave. I didn’t actually sow any seeds. I was preparing for the harvest— only to wonder why it never came. That was a hard lesson. I still remember how…

  • Build the bridge, not just the offer

    ByJowi Witt

    You don’t sell a product, you’re not creating an offer or doing a service — you’re helping someone transform their lives. They have a problem or pain, and they wish to make a change. Anything we do is there to help them build a bridge. It is the Bridge of Transformation. So whenever we think of something to do or build, we should first understand the Transformation: Where are they coming from? Where are they going? Then we get a deeper understanding of the different options we can build. In…

  • Why More Leads Might Hurt You

    I see this all over the internet. People talk about needing more leads, or more new clients. My DMs are full with outreach offering me more leads. The reality is that most think they need more leads, when in reality they don’t have a good enough offer. Focus to help one person better, more and effective. Then you will have something to offer that is power. Take that out into the world and you’ll see:suddenly leads become easier. More leads doesn’t automatically grow your business. When you…

  • SEO has changed forever

    ByJowi Witt

    In the last three years we have seen many shifts in SEO. What used to be a debate between white hat and black hat, SEO is now a more fundamental question. Since the entry of ChatGPT on the stage, there is a major shift happening. Many folks try to hold onto the good old times — when you could win with 100 blog posts and that was your whole marketing strategy. This landscape has shifted. I have been part of the blogging community for a while, and it was scary to see the results of this change….
