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 crushing it is to build the website,
create a product,
and have nobody show up.

The big shift was when I realized:

It’s not about how much or what I get.
It’s all about how much I give and who I give to.

At that point,
you don’t reap the seed sowed.

People will come once you have something to give.
That’s the seed.

You need to serve your people first.

Putting seeds in the ground​
means that when they’re ready,
you can ask them for something in return.

I am giving so much —
because I know there can be never enough seeds sown.

There is a trust in the seed.
That the promise of the seed is the harvest.

Yet you might not see the harvest right away.
Some seeds don’t work and never grow.
Sometimes things happen and the seed gets washed away by the flood.

All that can’t stop you from putting more seeds into the ground.

Because that’s what you can do:
​Put seeds into the ground, waiting for the time to harvest.

So give, and give more.
Provide for your people now —
​they will provide for you soon.

    We are caught in everyday to-do lists. Some days feel like a golden cage. There are just enough urgent tasks on the list that you don’t immediately quit. I have also tried many fancy, long to-do lists. And the day had just started — and I was already chasing after it. I was running behind on every task. As soon as I deliver & finish my first activity on time. I already ran behind the rest. Even all the productivity hacks can’t help you. They are all good and well until something changes your…

    Starting a business is hard.It takes a lot to actually make it work.Building a business — like everything in life — has a price. I am all for doing a lot and being ambitious.Yet, I see a lot of founders/entrepreneurs being reckless.They break a lot of trust while they are not even getting started. There is a big difference between being relentless and being reckless: Reckless is uncontrolled and not directed. Relentless is about being controlled and knowing where you want to go. You can show…

  • Commitment is Elimination of Options

    ByJowi Witt

    Hey Reader, Commitment is often talked about mostly as a sense of committing to more. Taking on a new commitment or getting more committed. Yet commitment means:to eliminate alternatives. I know that most think of commitment as adding something new to your life.I thought that way for years. Then I ended up with too many commitments—too many plates that I wasn’t able to actually do. I started to feel burned out. That’s when I noticed how flawed my understanding of commitment was. Commitment is…

    Hey Reader, Every day I get DMs by people pitching me their service. I’m not a big fan of cold DMs or cold outreach, but there is an even bigger problem ahead. There is another inflation going around. Next to the financial inflation, there is also the offer inflation. I do enjoy most of the content by Alex Hormozi and I have both his books. There is a side effect of the $100M Offers book. Many juniors are starting out and create an offer that is “irresistible.” I agree with Alex Hormozi to…

  • Business is Boring!

    ByJowi Witt

    Hey Reader, In so many videos I’ve watched over the years, there is often the idea that business is so exciting. There is always something new happening. There is always change. You’re in a high-speed car chase. While I definitely get that—especially when you’re starting out—you always want to be overwhelmed. The reality is that business is boring. There is not much happening once you find a routine that works. The main goal is to stick to that routine as long as you can. I do like to be by…

  • Content Won’t Matter (Until You Know This)

    ByJowi Witt

    The creator economy is bound to grow the next few years. A lot of people want to get onboard. The sad part is that I see a lot of repeated content. Something really copy-and-paste content. Taken from top creators. Now with AI added to the mix, there is also plenty of AI content out there. So people post every day, yet seem to not get it right. They are consistent— but not seeing any progress. I got a message the other day saying that my content “feels so different and unique.” Most people…
