Greetings Reader,

There is one lesson I’ve learned over the years that really took me a while.

In the beginning I was one that jumped from opportunity to opportunity as it promised me faster results.

Instagram is booming… so I jumped to Instagram. You gotta be on X, sorry Twitter…. so I went to Twitter. And then to YouTube and then to LinkedIn.

I have spent by far the most time with YouTube. I have 6 channels. I wanted to test some ideas. Can you guess something?

Which one channel performs better: Channel 1 with 60 videos all uploaded within 60 days or Channel 2 with 320 videos, uploaded over 3 years?

What if I told you that Channel 2 hasn’t seen a new video in 2 years. And Channel 1 has been uploaded a bit over a year ago?

Does this change your answer?

The 2nd channel by far outperforms Channel 1.

It doubled its subscribers from when I actively uploaded to when I didn’t upload. It still pulls between 6,000 to 10,000 views per month.

This is proof that you can’t sprint a marathon. You still need to put in the miles and that just takes time. Sure there are strategies that work better and some that won’t work at all.

But it just takes time.

The lesson that took me so long to learn? It is to find people you can share the journey with. I am now building exactly the community I’d liked back then. If you want to check it out reply, better speak “friend” and you may enter.

Yours in Stewardship

  • 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…
