Your Industry Doesn’t Matter

ByJowi

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 close enough.
​Having an app changes your industry, because you’re now running a software company.

The way I approach my business is:
​People first. My people.

Then I understand their pains and problems—so that I can help them how they need it.

This might be coaching.
It could be consulting or fulfillment.

Then—I switched all of a sudden from being a coach to running an agency.
At the same time I’m a content creator.
I’m helping people with their business,
but I’m talking about faith and family too.

In some sense it’s like a public figure.
Sure, you could try to put me in an industry—
but I don’t look at my industry.

I’m focused to help you serve your family,
become a better man,
and use your God-given talents for greater impact on this earth.

We are building a business because that’s the best vehicle I’ve found to get this done.

That’s it.

This is why I move vertically and also make more specific shows.
Glad I wrote this down—it really drives me to stay focused on my people.​
​So spread wide, but also stay close.

​

Keep chopping Wood!

    Being a dad is more than bringing a paycheck home. It’s more than paying all the bills on time. You are actually the leader, caretaker, and playmate too. You can teach your kids many lessons. They learn how to have fun while also living out their strength. There is a requirement to all of this: You need to be present. You can’t be absent. It’s not just physically being in the room but also showing your full attention and focus. This is the first side of the Present Provider. When it’s family…

  • Business is Boring!

    Hey Reader, In so many videos I’ve watched over the years, there is often the idea that business is so exciting. There is always something new happening. There is always change. You’re in a high-speed car chase. While I definitely get that—especially when you’re starting out—you always want to be overwhelmed. The reality is that business is boring. There is not much happening once you find a routine that works. The main goal is to stick to that routine as long as you can. I do like to be by…

    Broken Families break Society Broken families lead to broken societies, distant communities, and empty neighborhoods. My brother and I puzzled a lot. We had one puzzle where, in the end, one piece was missing. We puzzled many landscapes to hang them up as pictures on the wall. Once you found the missing piece, no matter how often you looked at the picture, you always noticed this missing piece. There was an empty space. When I think of broken families, I think of this incomplete puzzle. It…

    Hey Reader, There is one word that keeps popping up right now. Integrity. With all the AI tools coming out, with social media and online businesses, there are people that just see the quick money. They do anything to put people to buy. The last few years, I’m in a chat that we have entered the attention economy. I’m expecting that the next few years we will be in the trust economy. You have to be trustworthy. Don’t use trust for your benefit! I believe integrity will be a major part of this….
