Quality vs. Quantity is a lie.

ByJowi Witt

Hey Reader,

You’ve probably heard this before.
The endless debate of Quality vs. Quantity.
It’s all over the internet.

The debate is that you have to choose between either or — like they are on the same coin, and you can only pick one side.
This is an issue I’ve had for years.

The general advice is to focus on Quality over Quantity, like Quality is more important.
Yet the reality is:

You can only get Quality through repetition.

Repetition means Quantity.​
Meaning: you need to do Quantity before you have Quality.

Recently, I had a breakthrough.
A good old shower thought.

After working this conundrum for years by now,
what if those two actually depend on each other?
Not like two different sides of the coin,
but actually the same side of the equation.

As I’m working through the idea of Excellence, I realized that:

Excellence is not Perfection.

Perfection is a 100% completion — which we can’t achieve.
What we often think of as perfect is not often too low or too high.

Excellence means to strive for greater things.​
To get better with time and get a still give 100% per every try.

So the equation for Excellence is this:

Excellence = Quantity × Quality × Time

The more you do, the better you do,
for a long enough time, it is inevitable – you will become successful.
This equation is going to bring you success through striving for Excellence.

It means you continue to grow.

That equation shows that:

Experience (as defined as time doing) will give you the push
that you can do lower quantity with time as you get better.

This equation is the solution to the debate of Quantity vs. Quality. It is both. Not either.

This is the way you will find great success.

  • It All Comes Back to Communication

    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…
