Moving Faster by Slowing Down

ByJowi Witt

I often have the urge to do more.
To find more things to do and try to speed things up.

Patience is important.​
It’s not something that comes natural to me.
I want to have a thought become reality ASAP.

As a result, I have the tendency to lean into the hustle.
It’s an urge I need to fight actively.

Sometimes it’s faster to slow down.

Analyze. Observe. Think. Plan.

Then take a step forward that actually makes a difference.

The real power is to do only things that matter.
Ignore tasks that just run you crazy.

Focus on tasks that make a leap forward.

Build your life like you are a car.
When a check engine light pops up, you will go and have it checked.
You won’t keep driving full speed, pushing your car to the limit.

Or you will risk that it breaks down completely.

It comes to a full stop.

If you took a break to have it checked out, you could be back in no time.
Easily making up for the time lost.

In reality, it’s not that simple.
We don’t have a check engine light.
We don’t have parts that break so fast.

We can live for years not knowing what is actually the broken piece.

That’s where it’s helpful to have a coach.

Find a mentor who has done it before.
Then you can follow his steps.

He can also tell you some subtle worn spots that your business throws at you.

It will make a big impact when you’re ready to take your business to the next level.

  • 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…
