Wait for the Harvest

ByJowi

Hey Reader,

Today almost everything is immediate. You go onto Amazon and have something someday delivering. The longest you need to wait is maybe two days. And that already feels like forever.

When we’re starting a business we also expect immediate results.
People hop in to buy our products.

The reality is hitting hard in the face when nobody shows up.
​Life doesn’t happen immediate. Most things worthwhile take time.

You won’t put a seed in the ground to have the harvest tomorrow.
It takes a few months for the tomato plant to grow.

Then the tomato plant has some blossoms that turn into green bulbs.
With enough sun they will turn into red tomatoes, ready for the harvest.

Same is true in business.

In business we also need to earn patience.
From the idea to the harvest it takes time.

There are steps along the way that we can celebrate.
​Milestones that we can work towards.

There are three major character traits we need to learn:

  1. Patience (as mentioned).
  2. Diligence.
    We need to show up daily.
    We need to water.
    We need to weed.
    We need to build a structure for our plant to grow.
    We need to prune.
    These are all tasks you can’t skip.
  3. Be faithful.
    You need to act in good faith that the harvest is going to happen and that it will be plenty to feed your family.

The difficulty is: one won’t happen without the others.
All three are necessary.

If you lose faith, you quit.
If you slack off, your harvest won’t be good.
If you try to hurry, things might break.

Keep chopping wood!

    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…

    Hey Reader, When I look around, most men want to start a side hustle to get the business off the ground.

The numbers tell the difference. Most people starting a side hustle are happy about any money they can make.They start to offer low-price digital products:A template for $20 or an ebook for $8.
