Life’s Good with Momentum on Your Side

ByJowi

Hey Reader,

Last fall, I was pretty stressed.
There were so many things I didn’t get done.
I pushed hard.
I was in hustle mode.

I started daily newsletters as well as daily videos.
I was pushing so hard—
​it felt like I was lifting the rock of my business by hand.​
Trying to walk up the stairs.

With the hustle mode mindset,
​it felt like every step I took, I was falling one step behind.​
I couldn’t keep it up.

So—I stopped.
I stopped writing a newsletter.
Stopped posting to YouTube.

I took a step back.
I noticed I had gotten out of my line.

There is a fine line between boredom and overwhelm.
​Both sides fall into the fire of burnout.

As business owners, as creators, as men—
​we always tread this fine line.

The only way to not fall is to stop.
That’s what I did.

Then I decided to slow down.
​Overthink my approach.​
Start with my client first.
Then build it up from the back.
I always try to start with the end in mind.

In January, I started slowly building back up again.

Now I write my daily newsletter.
I help my clients succeed.
I also started posting on YouTube again.

All of those things are now built on the timeless mode.​
​I left the hustle mode behind.

This means I’m building a routine
that I can keep up for years to come.
​One system that allows me to keep going.

Where I am—
I’m approaching things out of ease, not pressure.

My momentum is back up.

When it’s on your side—life is good.

Don’t hesitate to take a step back.​
To then be able to fully commit going forward again.

​

Keep chopping Wood!

    Hey Reader, In a recent podcast that I listened to, they were chatting about the perfect business. A lot of people advise to build a business you could sell later. It is with the idea to personally get so much money out of the exit that you would never need to work again in your life. When I talk to my clients, they always say that they don’t mind to work. It is the other way around. They want to show their work. What a good work ethic looks like. In the podcast, the host asked: “What if I…

  • Don’t Follow Fishermen, Follow the Fish

    Hey Reader, In business, we are often tempted to jump on big trends. We often feel like we’re missing out if we don’t. Especially at the beginning, it’s hard. The question is: how do you get started? You should go where the fish are. Don’t blindly follow the advice of the fishermen. The fish is the spot, not the fishermen. The rest will follow long after. A friend and I went fishing together. When we arrived at the lake, it was often that way that others were leaving. So you just lost. Ash…

    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…

    We live in the era of Information Inflation. Most of us hear about the economic inflation. The numbers are going up. We can buy less with the money we have. The same is also true with Information Inflation. We live in a world where information itself is worth little. It used to be that books were so expensive. There was only one Bible in the town that the priest could read. Today we have Google, ChatGPT, and YouTube. We can read, listen, and watch more information all day every day of the…

    Hey Reader, There is one word that keeps popping up right now. Integrity.

The last few years, I’m in a chat that we have entered the attention economy. I’m expecting that the next few years we will be in the trust economy. You have to be trustworthy. Don’t use trust for your benefit! I believe integrity will be a major part of this….

  • Don’t become a Tactic-Addict

    Hey Reader, We are so often concentrated on learning everything there is. We want to be fully prepared. We do more and more research. It is all about knowing the latest tactics. We become addicted to learning the newest tactics. The new update to the tactic we’re already planning to use. There is a quote that got me thinking recently. I’m not sure who said it:“It’s not about learning all the tactics, it’s about becoming the person capable of using the tactics.” We need to become men of…
