You Won’t Have a Harvest Without Sowing

ByJowi

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.

They link to each other on many levels. This morning a thought struck: Often we think of them as goals. We want more wealth, better health, and better relationships. Yet the moment…
