You Always Have a Choice

ByJowi Witt

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 you responsible.​
When you could step up and take on the responsibility and ownership over your life.

You’re always left to make a choice.​
Step up or stay down.

You can’t blame everything in your life when you prefer to stay on the couch in your comfort zone.

This is so easy.
I know how challenging this is.
I have to fight the battle too – every day.
I’m in the trenches of life too.

I choose to make a decision.
I decide to not give excuses the control over my life.

This is especially hard when trolls try to take it out on me.
There are days when it’s just hard.

Yet we have to stand up.
​Make the hard choice.
Get up in the morning. Even after a hard night.

Don’t blame your kids for waking you up.
Don’t blame the system for a job you chose to work in.

You’re not trapped — because you have a choice.
You can decide how you react to the things in your life.

  • 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…

  • Moving Faster by Slowing Down

    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…

  • Nervous about Pricing your offer? Do this!

    When it comes to pricing your offer (product or service), most get nervous. I did too. There is much pressure to get the price right.It also puts an expectation up for our clients. Not only that, we also need to drop the price in a conversation. In reality, most of our prices are taken out of the magician’s hat.We pick a number we like and stick with it. It feels nerve-wracking.Separated from reality. In reality, most entrepreneurs overprice or undercharge.Both of them don’t get you any…

  • The Productivity Lie I Believed for 5 Years

    ByJowi Witt

    For the last few years I’ve read so many productivity books. Watched tons of videos trying to figure out how can I get more done in my 24 hours than others. This is the core driver of productivity types: Getting more done with the time they have. It’s all about efficiency. There is one major flaw with productivity that took me 5 years to understand:It doesn’t matter how fast I run, if I’m running in the wrong direction. In the productivity space there is a lot of clutter about tactics that…

  • Make Friends, Not Funnels

    ByJowi Witt

    Dear Reader, After the term funnel was introduced by Russell Brunson, it became the way to build a business. We are all building a funnel. Many have tried to reinvent the wheel. They call it Flywheel or Cycle. In the end, the components are all the same. The steps are the same. One thing that gives me hiccups from all of it is:the transactional wording. We track the conversions, the click rates, and the card collectors. While those are all important numbers,we lose the human touch. I also…

  • The One-Dad Business

    The One-Dad Business The only way I have found to make enough income to be the sole provider is with business. Yes, there are certain careers that would earn money, but they don’t give you agency. The next part is that they need to give you the opportunity to be present for your family. This is why the One-Dad Business is the best option for Dads to start a business. Many dabble with the idea to build a hobby business. Something they do for their hobby. There is a downside to it, though….
