Success comes through Sacrifice

Hey Reader,

Everything in life comes with a price tag.

Not always do they have a $ (Dollar Sign) with them.
Some are also connected to the cost of time.
Some are decisions, either for or against.

You can do many things, but you won’t be able to succeed in all.

You do have many opportunities, but not the time to try them all.

There is a correlation that I started to notice.
The older I get, the more obvious it becomes.

Every big victory comes with a price.

There is no success without sacrifice.
Your level of success is equal to the level of sacrifice.

When you’re starting a business, it’s not only about the potential of that business.

It’s also about the level of sacrifice required to make it.

The other way I think about it:
not only doing it for the money.

If you’re only doing it for the money, you won’t be able to take the sacrifice that comes with it.

The interesting question becomes:
What are you willing to sacrifice to reach your goal?
What price are you willing to pay?

If the price is too high—you won’t make it to your goal.

I don’t need to become a billionaire because the price often is to sacrifice your family.
I’m not willing to sacrifice my family.

That price is too high.

Knowing what I’m willing to give is important to know what my options really are.

There are many decisions that are hard to make.
Once you know how much you’re willing to sacrifice,
then you also know what decisions you can make.

Keep building!

Your Jowi

  • Goal or Journey? Both!

    Hey Reader, When I was in university, there was a big debate: Whether life was about the goal to achieve or enjoying living the journey.

If you don’t enjoy the process to get the success—success is falling short. You need to have goals because they serve as landmarks to give your journey a direction. That is something I have seen in…

  • 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 I was in University, I did everything. I was studying, volunteering, working, hanging out with friends. I also picked up some hobbies, like hunting, fishing and visiting reenactments. All of those things were time consuming. Maybe you know the feeling of:you can do everything when you’re on the top of the world. I really liked to be the Jack of all Trades. I saw a lot of people becoming experts, yet I stayed a generalist. It is said that Warren Buffet gave this advice once:Write out all…

  • Don’t Be Scared of a Post to Fail

    Social media gets pretty boring.I read the same posts over and over again. Why do most people post the same stuff? It feels like there is nobody sharing fresh ideas. There are waves of trends.As soon as somebody posts something good,it gets reposted, repurposed a hundred times. They all look alike.Sound alike.Are there no new ideas? I believe it’s for one reason: Because people are actually scared their post won’t get enough likes. They hold back their genuine self, fresh thoughts, and new…
