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.

You need to learn the skills. That is also why service is a good place to start. The hidden danger is that you become a…

    There is something that bugs me a lot… It’s a new trend that steals fathers away from their families. It’s the lifestyle side hustle. I’m all about building a business to provide for your family. But to me, it’s more than just delivering a pay-check. It’s about becoming a Present Provider. Yet, I observe so many fathers stepping into the world of business with a side hustle mentality.
