Have You Shared Your Story Yet?

ByJowi Witt

Many people try to grow their online presence —
​trying to build something unique.

Yet they tell stories that everybody has heard before.

You could share your story.
Tell what happens in your life.

It’s hard to do, so maybe —
you think there is no story to tell.​
You have nothing interesting to share.
Or you think that it’s scary.

You don’t want to tell your story to nobody.

I understand all that.

But here’s the question:
​Why did you start?

What made you want to start this business in the first place?

There was a spark.
There was something painful that made you take action.
Where you no longer could watch and do nothing.

That’s your story.

What happened?

Just share that.

You might not get many views and hate doing it.
You would tell that story to your grandma very calmly.
So getting 1 view on it is already one more person.

I will assure you:
​Doing it for long enough will get you more than one view.

Just tell your story and not someone else’s.

I always enjoy watching people’s stories.
How they think. Dream. Talk.
What they do.

It’s those stories that we tell by a bonfire.

Where strangers become best friends overnight.

Sharing stories is about bonding over shared ideas, dreams, hopes—
and also shared pain, heartbreak, and suffering.

That’s what makes a story.

Find your story and share that to the world.​
Then you will learn about so many other people going through the same thing.

Building a business is about helping people.​
​Sharing your story is the clearest commitment to do so.

  • It All Comes Back to Communication

    ByJowi Witt

    Greetings Reader, Over the weekend I had a few chats with a friend on the effects of AI. We will be in for a ride. Sure the opportunities are endless. It will get stronger and better, but it also feels like we’re losing more and more the human touch. I’m trying to figure out how to talk about business without touching the subject of AI. The development is just so much faster than I anticipated. I’ve been in this space now since the launch of GPT 3,5. And it’s been a wild ride. I can promise…

  • The Three Models That Help You Move Fast

    ByJowi Witt

    Greetings Reader, Last night I spoke with a lot of Founders at a local event. There is one pattern that kept coming up. I’m planning this. I’m waiting on this. I haven’t gotten the feedback yet. All those statements are holding your business back. They will lock and keep you stuck, because you gave the power to act away. Over the past years I’ve tried to study the greed and there are three models that help you move fast. Urgency is the mover. Urgency means to just close the gap between…

  • The Fight Between Persuasion and Manipulation

    ByJowi Witt

    Greetings Reader, Recently I did a deep dive into the world of communication. There are generally two different skillsets to communication. One is the personal communication. Your journal to your dinner table conversation. When we enter the arena of public communications we have a lot of traditions. We have the historic school of the Orator – aka. Speaker. Over the centuries we have seen a specialization. The speaker was trained in propaganda. The Art of public persuasion. After the second…

  • The Hidden Truth Behind Consistency (not many know)

    ByJowi Witt

    The first advice people will hear is to be consistent. Post daily. Stick to your schedule. Be consistent. Most give this advice without giving you the understanding of why it matters. “When everybody is consistent, I’m not able to stand out.” That’s what I often hear as a response. “I need to focus on my quality, since everybody is focused on quantity.” This is also a false belief. Since you don’t even know what quantity is. So back to the advice to be consistent. Most people that try…

  • You Won’t Have Time “Someday”

    ByJowi Witt

    I’ve thought about this a lot. We often take our life and the time we have for granted. How often do I catch myself with a thought of:“Someday I’ll do this” or“When I have time, I’ll get to it.” Those are statements that make us feel good because we didn’t say no to it — and we still believe that we will get there. But the reality is: We don’t magically get more time. And we also don’t know how much time we have left in our life. My mom dreamed of retirement. Yet God has called her home by…
