You Need a Guide to Win Faster

When I went fishing for the first time, I was in the US.
A guy from church invited me to come along with him.
He packed up his boat, went to get some bait, and drove us to the lake.

It was all prepared for me.
It was a blast.

I do admit, I got a little sunburn.
Besides that, we had a good day fishing.

Then I thought to myself:
That wasn’t so hard. I can do it.

So I got myself a fishing rod and went to a lake.
I had some bait with me.
My brother joined me on the trip.

We were fishing hard.

We caught a plastic bag and an old jug.
That was it.
We didn’t catch any fish.

Later, I went offshore on a charter off the coast of Germany.
This time, we fished for cod.

We were out with real fishermen.

I didn’t catch as much as some of the others, but that didn’t matter.
I caught enough for a good meal.

Why do I tell you all these stories?

Because business is like fishing.

It’s easy when you know:

  • Where the fish are.
  • What bait to use.
  • What time of day they’ll bite.

But when you don’t know any of that and just have a rod?
You throw and hope.

That’s also true for business.

Over the last 8 years, I’ve done many things:

  • Published 60 products.
  • 500 YouTube videos.
  • 600 blog posts.
  • Spent over 9,000 hours learning, failing, and winning.

Now, after all these years, I can tell you where the business fish bite best.

It’s not about getting to success.
You can catch fish by yourself
but it comes down to speed and chance of success.

That’s why I learned to find guides and join communities.

I’m still looking for 2 more men for a testrun of the Present Provider Program, reply “Join” and I will get you set up!

  • Your Personal Brand is not just online.

    Hey Reader, I was just chatting with a young man. He is struggling to get clients online. He said his personal brand isn’t growing enough. He doesn’t get any inbound leads.

These are important because a Personal Brand is basically your reputation and trustworthiness. It is so much easier to build a good reputation when your trustworthiness is offline. We have…

  • 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…
