You Won’t Have a Harvest Without Sowing

ByJowi Witt

I see this every day online.
People struggling to get a client.
Struggling to make money.

I have been there before.

Aiming to reach a monthly income,
ready for the harvest —
and then coming up empty.

No income.
No clients.
Just crickets.

I thought I had good product.

But in reality,
I was more focused on what I would get out​
than what I gave.

I didn’t actually sow any seeds.
I was preparing for the harvest—
only to wonder why it never came.

That was a hard lesson.

I still remember how crushing it is to build the website,
create a product,
and have nobody show up.

The big shift was when I realized:

It’s not about how much or what I get.
It’s all about how much I give and who I give to.

At that point,
you don’t reap the seed sowed.

People will come once you have something to give.
That’s the seed.

You need to serve your people first.

Putting seeds in the ground​
means that when they’re ready,
you can ask them for something in return.

I am giving so much —
because I know there can be never enough seeds sown.

There is a trust in the seed.
That the promise of the seed is the harvest.

Yet you might not see the harvest right away.
Some seeds don’t work and never grow.
Sometimes things happen and the seed gets washed away by the flood.

All that can’t stop you from putting more seeds into the ground.

Because that’s what you can do:
​Put seeds into the ground, waiting for the time to harvest.

So give, and give more.
Provide for your people now —
​they will provide for you soon.

  • It All Comes Back to Communication

    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…
