Facing the Moment of Decision

ByJowi

We all go through our life with struggles and hope.

Dreams and pains. We all make it through our days.

​

Then all of a sudden, something happens.

We need to make a decision.

It feels like our D-Day.

​

When my son was just 2 months old, I got fired.

I understood their decision.

I was not the right fit. So I went home.

​

With all that pressure on my back, my son was all happy to see me.

He slept so peacefully.

I was up at 2 am.

​

What am I going to do next?

I was absent, caught in my own thoughts.

I wasn’t proving either.

I had to make a decision.

​

I had started a side hustle.

Will this be the time to go all in?

Or should I find another job?

​

I believe that God puts us sometimes in positions of life where he tests whether we trust him or not.

I had to make a decision.

​

It was a scary time.

Not knowing what to do.

My wife and I spoke a lot about the next step.

​

Looking back from today, it’s easy.

Back then it was overwhelming.

​

I had to provide for my wife and my newborn son.

I had to put food on the table.

​

When you’re stuck in the similar scary place of needing to make a decision, I understand you.

I know where you’re coming from.

​

We made the decision to go all in.

It was a good decision.

​

I would be lying when I say it was smooth sailing afterward.

I do have to say it was blessed, and I wouldn’t be where I’m now.

​

We need to step up and make those hard decisions.

    It is so interesting. A lot of people judge the business by their social following.He got 100k followers—he must have a massive business! Somehow we doubt that small accounts are bigger businesses. I stopped looking at the following and started to look for the actual interaction. There is a lot to be said about the right likes. You can tell fast which small accounts don’t work — because they tell you. With bigger accounts, it’s getting harder to see the difference. The funny thing is: A lot…

    Our to-do list feels endless. There are so many things we could do. Some are more important than others. I recently listened to a podcast. They were chatting about this one guy being paid a lot to be an advisor. Yet he didn’t do much. He said that his job was not to add to the tasks in the business, but to make sure they didn’t do anything that hindered the business profits. I have also experienced the same thing. The real difference between success and failure is to do the right things and…

  • Followers Aren’t Created Equal

    I see this so often in the last years:Creators come up. Think all they need to do to make money and drive a brand is to build a big following online. There is the idea that any following is going to make you rich. Your following just needs to be big enough. But the reality is that followers aren’t created equal. I would trade 1,000 followers on Instagram for 1,000 subscribers on YouTube any day. I’d also rather have 1,000 subscribers to my newsletter than 1 million TikTok followers. This is…

(On the other side)I serve my clients best when I’m fully present with them. I know there’s a lot of chatter on the internet about the lifestyle business and passive income. This would…
