Do This When You’re Just Starting Out

ByJowi

There is only one thing that matters in business:
Helping people more, better and in new ways.
​People want help.

Become the go-to person for your people for the subject.
You can be friendly. You can be nice.

In the end all that it comes down to is:
​Is it actually working?​
Because people only care about results.

Do you help them achieve what they want?

I have also struggled to understand this point.
If you’re not getting results, people will eventually leave.

On the contrary, if you get them results and they are happy with that,
you can be unfriendly as long as you’re the only one in town.

As soon as there is a new entry that also gets results
and has better customer service —
​you’re history.

So you also need to be friendly,
yet only to be friendly and not getting the results,
you’re running a charity.

The charity of yourself.

Your clients pay you only to feel good about helping you.
You’re not helping them.
​This is your sign to get them better results.

This is especially true when you’re just starting out.
That’s why the beginning is hard.

The best thing to do is to do it for free.
This way you’re trading each others’ time.

    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…

  • Broken Families break Society

    Broken Families break Society Broken families lead to broken societies, distant communities, and empty neighborhoods. My brother and I puzzled a lot. We had one puzzle where, in the end, one piece was missing. We puzzled many landscapes to hang them up as pictures on the wall. Once you found the missing piece, no matter how often you looked at the picture, you always noticed this missing piece. There was an empty space. When I think of broken families, I think of this incomplete puzzle. It…

    Hey Reader, Everything in life comes with a price tag. Not always do they have a $ (Dollar Sign) with them. Some are also connected to the cost of time. Some are decisions, either for or against. You can do many things, but you won’t be able to succeed in all. You do have many opportunities, but not the time to try them all. There is a correlation that I started to notice. The older I get, the more obvious it becomes. Every big victory comes with a price. There is no success without…

    Hey Reader, When I look around, most men want to start a side hustle to get the business off the ground. I love the idea and motivation they have—to provide for their family and spend more time with them. There is only one flaw on that side:They plan for a side hustle, not for an exit strategy. The numbers tell the difference. Most people starting a side hustle are happy about any money they can make.They start to offer low-price digital products:A template for $20 or an ebook for $8.

  • Should you be authentic?

    ByJowi

    Hey Reader, No matter where I look right now, people tell me to be more authentic. Is that really helpful though? I don’t think so. Let me explain why. Being authentic could mean that you’re relatable and personal. It is to be honest. This is what I would understand as being authentic. There is also a different meaning to it. Not many people would describe it as such, but you can observe the behaviors. In reality, a person says “I’m authentic” when they give their unfiltered opinion. Being…
