You Need a Guide to Win Faster

When I went fishing for the first time, I was in the US.
A guy from church invited me to come along with him.
He packed up his boat, went to get some bait, and drove us to the lake.

It was all prepared for me.
It was a blast.

I do admit, I got a little sunburn.
Besides that, we had a good day fishing.

Then I thought to myself:
That wasn’t so hard. I can do it.

So I got myself a fishing rod and went to a lake.
I had some bait with me.
My brother joined me on the trip.

We were fishing hard.

We caught a plastic bag and an old jug.
That was it.
We didn’t catch any fish.

Later, I went offshore on a charter off the coast of Germany.
This time, we fished for cod.

We were out with real fishermen.

I didn’t catch as much as some of the others, but that didn’t matter.
I caught enough for a good meal.

Why do I tell you all these stories?

Because business is like fishing.

It’s easy when you know:

  • Where the fish are.
  • What bait to use.
  • What time of day they’ll bite.

But when you don’t know any of that and just have a rod?
You throw and hope.

That’s also true for business.

Over the last 8 years, I’ve done many things:

  • Published 60 products.
  • 500 YouTube videos.
  • 600 blog posts.
  • Spent over 9,000 hours learning, failing, and winning.

Now, after all these years, I can tell you where the business fish bite best.

It’s not about getting to success.
You can catch fish by yourself
but it comes down to speed and chance of success.

That’s why I learned to find guides and join communities.

I’m still looking for 2 more men for a testrun of the Present Provider Program, reply “Join” and I will get you set up!

    Simple Scales, Fancy Fails This is a saying that has stuck with me for a while now. I don’t remember when I heard it first. It is an excellent reminder.

    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.

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…
