Some say that business is as easy as it’s ever been.

Greetings Reader,

Some say that business is as easy as it’s ever been. Yet some days it feels harder than ever.

Trends are coming and leaving. Over the last years we have seen the rise of Content Marketing. Social Media platforms changed from a place you see your friends to being now following up with AI Avatars.

What started with images from your phone are now professional designers.

I still remember a time when I was on Instagram and it showed a banner that I’ve reached the bottom of my news feed.

Today you can go online at any hour of day and never run out of new content. It’s so loud. There are hundreds, or better millions of businesses screaming for your money.

When we look at our own business it feels like nobody is watching. We speak into the void. But we do all things exactly like all the others do too.

Well here is your big problem. You do nothing to stand out.

You repeat ideas that are from yesterday. This is the real challenge today.

We need to find new ideas. Fresh perspectives. New concepts.

This is going to be the differentiating factor: Do you have something to add.

Are you able to add to the table? Think of it like a potluck with your friends. Are you all bringing bread? Then the one with butter will stand out. Bring a salad and you will be visible.

This is the difference. Are you able to do that?

Can you get offline to have your own thoughts? That’s the difference we will need to bring.

Yours in Stewardship

Jowi

  • 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…

  • Don’t chase cheap leads

    ByJowi Witt

    All businesses are constantly on the lookout for fast, cheap leads. They want to get new leads ASAP. A lot of founders opt for tactics to grow. Tactics might get you leads today — but the thing is:Tactics change fast. Growing your business with tactics is like day trading. The top 1% is making money, but the rest is paying for it. There is no scalable, reliable growth for your business gambling with tactics. There is a secret behind the top 1%: They use tactics on top of systems. We need to…
