Don’t play business

ByJowi

Hey Reader,

There is a big misconception about a Personal Brand and creating content.

Most Personal Brands don’t make any money.

They are just creating noise.

Let me tell you a little story:

My son recently started to “play dress-up.”​
He puts on my boots and gets a loud voice.
Then he walks around the house pretending to be Papa.

He has a blast and we all enjoy watching him.
He looks pretty cute.

I see a similar pattern in most Personal Brands.

They play pretend business.
They see the big guys on social media and decide to post.

Then they say “I’m building a Personal Brand.”
They only repeat the ideas from the experts.

It’s like playing dress-up.
In the end, they all do the same thing.

They are lookalikes to the actual business owners.

It’s amusing and sometimes a little sad to watch.

When they then write Cold DMs, it’s starting to get hard to watch.

I know how it feels not to be taken seriously.
I’ve started many years ago on YouTube.
Trying to build a business.

I was getting views, but no business.
I was playing business instead of building a business.

It all changed when I started to make an offer that actually helped people.

Then I had something to talk about.

When you’re still just posting on social media without a clear offer—people “offer to help” via email or to have a chat with me.

We will work together to build your business.
So that you set yourself apart.

You can make a difference!

    Hey Reader, When I was starting out with my first ideas of what to do as a business— I was looking to help troubled teenagers. They felt hurt by the system and had a life of trouble.

When I looked at all the troubled teens,many of them had a pattern. A lot of them had an absent father. This means either:…

    Hey Reader, Everything in life comes with a price tag. Not always do they have a $ (Dollar Sign) with them. Some are also connected to the cost of time. Some are decisions, either for or against. You can do many things, but you won’t be able to succeed in all. You do have many opportunities, but not the time to try them all. There is a correlation that I started to notice. The older I get, the more obvious it becomes. Every big victory comes with a price. There is no success without…

    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…
