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.

    Seasonal Stewardship In Ecclesiastes, Solomon is telling about many different seasons of life. There is a time of birthing and a time of dying. There are many more seasons: Sowing and harvesting.

All these seasons change your responsibility. So in effect, it changes your stewardship. All the points of Extreme Stewardship…

  • Caught in the Hustle Trap?

    It doesn’t matter what I do. I start out well balanced. With my priorities defined. Over time I tend to lose it and dive too deep. I get caught by the Hustle Trap. With time I self-protect better and I don’t burn out as much as I used to. Somehow I know what not to do and then still fall for it. I’m so excited to do the work that I skip breaks that I should take. I sometimes end up thinking the amount I work is a badge of honor. This is the problem. It’s like the frog in the pot.
