Don’t do it for the money.

ByJowi

Hey Reader,

I know making money is important. You need to make money to run your business.

Many people have said it before me:

Don’t just do something for the money.

Do it for helping the people.
Do it for the bigger picture.
Do it for the fun.
Do it for the curiosity.

But don’t do it for the money.

Time and time again I observe men starting a business.
They heard that Real Estate, eCommerce or Online Courses is where the money is made.
Then they get started.

Until they quit.

I’ve seen it time and time again.
Most don’t last long enough to make it work.
You only earn half as much.
It takes twice as long and is three times harder than you thought.

That’s the reality of starting a business.

You won’t last long enough when you’re only in it for the money.
The only way you’ll be able to last long enough is with your legacy mission.

What will you do to leave a legacy?

Even when it will take 10 years to get there.
What are you going to do that is worth the sacrifice, the hard work and the pain of not quitting?

That is what you should be doing.

I know it sounds hard. It is hard.

There is also nothing more fun when you’re working on your legacy mission.​
You are pursuing your life’s calling.

The major side benefit is:
​Nobody that’s in it for the money is going to beat you, because you’re ready to outwork them on any given day.

They are not able to compete with your drive.

What’s your legacy mission?

Reply to this mail and share your Legacy Mission with me!

Until next time!

    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…

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…

    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. The goal is to make a little extra money on the side. The idea is often a little extra on cash by making some…
