Why I’m Not Rushing My Business

ByJowi

One thing I’m struggling a lot with is patience.

I enjoy business, and in business we are always concerned with growth.

We want to believe there’s a way to get rich fast.
That’s why the scammers have it so easy to sell us on the latest get-rich-quicker thing.

While I do believe there are better vehicles out there to grow faster, speed is only one side of pursuing a business.

I’m now almost 4 years into my journey.
Over those years, I have seen so many people come and go.
They grew quickly—
​And then disappeared.

This is not a good business if you can only do it for a few years and then completely drop off a cliff.

As dads, we can’t get swallowed or destroyed by our business.

There are two things I believe we need to do to be content with slow growth:

​

1. Plan for Long Outcomes

Realize it’s not a sprint but a marathon.
We want ever-faster growth of our business…
​Slow is the lasting fast.

We build for decades, not for days.

​

2. Take Consistent Action

Being consistent is not about a posting schedule.​
Being consistent is about being reliable and trustworthy.
It’s about building a reputation.

It means to show up daily, ready to do the work.

There is no success when we don’t start, don’t take action, quit, or have to stop.

Many people I have seen quit.
It was not that they wanted to quit—
Rather that their life demanded a stop.

They chased success too early—
​And they didn’t get there.

​

Being content with slow growth is the only option for lasting success.

    When we often talk about authenticity, we often have different understandings of what that actually means. Over the last year, I have seen a trend come up. The trend has me worried. Authenticity is understood as showing all your emotion, being real in the moment. This does not build trust. It does not show a good manner. Every day has its ups and downs. Yet we don’t need to start with or share all that. There is another way to show your authenticity —that actually creates more trust and is…

    I have talked with more than 20 men in my coaching by now. They all dream to grow a business. Yet they all get stuck. They are motivated, they have their reason and are excited to start. Yet they lack the strategy. They want clients. Yet have no offer, no leads, and no conversion. In the end, they are frustrated, confused, and overwhelmed. I know how that feels. I have been there too. It sucks. When we’re in the coaching sessions, I come to bring the strategy to build an offer, get leads, and…

    Hey Reader, I have seen this topic a lot on X/Twitter. There is an issue I see in how many businesses start: They start with the topic or industry first. This is easy—because you don’t need to put a lot of thought into it. But there’s a big flaw. I don’t want to be known in an industry.I’d rather be known to my people. On first sight, it seems like there is no difference. But when you dive deeper—there is a large difference. When you’re known as a Fitness Coach, writing a book might be still…
