Nobody Asked Me This Question…

ByJowi Witt

One thing I keep thinking about is how slow I was going.
In the beginning, I kept telling people about all the ideas and plans I had.

The response I got was cool. They were all excited for me and interested in what I would do.
Yet nobody asked me how fast I can do it.

This is the most important question after all.
Most of us start solo. So we are our fastest bottleneck too.
Our runway is not long.

The only question that matters is:
​How fast can you ship a product to get real results?

The longer you wait, the slower you will be to make meaningful progress.
​We need to fail faster.

We all go through the struggles of the beginning.
The only way out is through.
We need to take action to do so.

From my own experience I know how comforting it can be to just sit and make plans.
The dopamine hits the same.

Sharing ideas and making plans can feel like progress too.​
In reality, it’s no real progress that gets you in motion.
That’s the hard reality.

Get your feet wet by selling a product fast and getting it published.

That’s the only way to gain the momentum to get over the bumps of struggling in the beginning.

The airplane can’t take off without enough momentum.
​The same is true for your business.

    ByJowi Witt

    Monday mornings can be rough sometimes. We were gone for a longer weekend, and then I sat down on Monday morning trying to get back to work. When I opened my MacBook, I saw the stack of 600 unopened emails. Because I was gone, I also didn’t have a clear next step in mind. The lack of clarity got me overwhelmed. I knew I had to get back into the work. So I took a step back. What is the next task that matters most? I just get back to my routine. Let’s get started with my daily Newsletter. What…

    From Ownership to Stewardship How often have I walked through the world thinking that it all was mine? My things belong to me. It already starts with the young children. They have a hard time sharing their toys. It’s really difficult for them to share. Job says:“God gives. God takes away. Praise the Lord.” For a long time, I didn’t understand how he could say something like that. When I started to work on the Present Provider Concept, I started thinking about the foundation. Why am I trying…

    Reflections on my 29th Birthday 10 years ago I made a decision. The decision was to study forestry. At the time I thought it would be the best way for me to lay the foundation for my future family. Reflecting back on that, it has been an amazing 10 years – totally not what I expected though. The biggest joy of those years has definitely been that I could marry my beautiful wife. Second to that is the birth of our son. This makes me now responsible for my family. I could also learn a lot about…

  • What 10,000 Hours Gets Wrong

    One thing I observed is that mastery is on the other side of repetition.Doing one thing as often as possible. I’ve heard it often that true mastery takes 10,000 hours. Yet that’s only part of the truth. It takes time, that’s true— But it also takes repetition and feedback. In the beginning, every master starts at 0. At the start, they are newbies. When they begin, it’s all about putting their effort in. Doing as much and as often as they can.It is all about quantity. Putting the reps in. Then…
