It’s Not About the Money

ByJowi

When you’re scrolling through X/Threads, it seems like it’s all about wealth.
The business community is all about generating more wealth.

Yesterday I was thinking about the three eternal wants:
​Wealth, health, and relationships.​
I was trying to figure out what connection they have.

They seem easy to chase in loops.
They link to each other on many levels.

This morning a thought struck:
Often we think of them as goals.
We want more wealth, better health, and better relationships.

Yet the moment we look at the eternal relationship aspect, there is a hierarchy.

Money can buy you many things.​
But it can’t buy your life.
It can get you better health care, but you will die eventually.
Then you need to leave all your wealth behind.

That’s also the conclusion Solomon draws.

Same for your health.
You want to stay in good health for as long as you can.
Yet again, you’re fighting a losing battle—because in the end, you’ll die.

That leaves us with relationships.

Since we all die, they’re also not eternal.
The thing about relationships, though, is that at the deathbed, you’d rather be surrounded by people you love than in a bed with doctors around you.

And you also don’t care about the big house when you’re alone in it.

What’s my point with all of this?

I’d say: The idea to have enough wealth, good health, and better relationships—

Where does that leave us?

That’s why I believe to build your business around being present.
Don’t build it to be absent from your family.

Build it as the One Dad Business.
For you to become a better father and husband.

  • Focus on Strategy, Not Tactics

    The other day I read another post that I thought was interesting. The guy said he ran a test: after 800 days of posting daily, he focused on quality over quantity, and then only posted 2 times per week. His point was that too many are only posting daily, but they should do better content. This was setting me riled up. It was a good example of doing what he did, not doing what he said. He got to the many views by posting daily. So that’s the strategy: Post daily. It will give you data, skill,…

    When we often talk about authenticity, we often have different understandings of what that actually means. Over the last year, I have seen a trend come up. The trend has me worried. Authenticity is understood as showing all your emotion, being real in the moment. This does not build trust. It does not show a good manner. Every day has its ups and downs. Yet we don’t need to start with or share all that. There is another way to show your authenticity —that actually creates more trust and is…

    I used to rearrange my to-do lists at least once a week. The issue was that I kept planning my perfect week. I kept making elaborate plans.

    Hey Reader, When I was in the early stages, I didn’t have any clients. I knew that I wanted clients. They also had to pay, because why would I fix it cheaply for free? This felt like it would be silly. I went on to do calls. Pitched myself on DMs. Tried all the things that people advise to do. Yet I couldn’t get clients. What changed for me was when I looked at how the big guys started. Alex Hormozi started his fitness coaching by doing offers on his private Facebook profile for people to…

  • You Could Doesn’t Mean You Should

    Recently, I had another good idea. I always love coming up with new ideas. They feel so nice at first. It’s fun thinking of the simple first steps. It is tempting to jump on that new opportunity right away. You are in a full rush — because you just discovered another gold mine. But the reality is this:Just because you could follow that new idea does not mean you should. In the beginning, there aren’t big charges. But over time, business keeps growing, those charges become more expensive. I…
