What if it doesn’t work?

ByJowi

How often have you second-guessed yourself?
I still do it almost daily.

It’s hard sometimes. I’m trying, and I pour it all in.
There is still a part of my brain saying:
​What if it doesn’t work?​
​What if I’m just making a fool out of myself?

There are so many little feelings of doubt.
The one thing I tell myself — and it’s definitely going to come true — is the truth:

When nothing gets done, you will also not get any reward.

When the question of what if it doesn’t work? paralyzes me —
​then it will not work.

So the only response to doubt is to take action.

No matter how much you think about it, action is the only thing that will make a difference.

There can be a tiny action.
It needs to result in getting something done.

What if this newsletter will fail?​
Then it’s first going to fail because I never wrote it.

The first thing to make sure the newsletter is going to win is to write it first.

When I send my newsletter regularly and consistently, it is the first step done.

Too many people complain about not seeing any results — and having too many doubts.
Yet most of them don’t take the action required.

It is hard to take action because it feels so dumb to take action when you’re in doubt.

You will doubt it until it works — and it’ll only work when you took action.

That’s the paradox.

We need to sow the seed before we see the harvest.
We need to trust the plan.
That from the seed in the ground there will be harvest.

That’s the work required for us to do.

So get to work.
​Then you will also have a harvest.

  • Success comes through Sacrifice

    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…

    Hey Reader, How often have you heard:“But he did it first!” Many kids justify their actions as reactions.They say, look at the other person… they are so much worse than I am. We see this today with adults, too—when they put blame on others as an excuse for their bad behavior. It makes me sad to see it in the news every day: “I’m not to blame.” “He was already doing it.” “I’m not as bad as he is.” These are all statements of giving back what you’ve received—with the point of escape or…

  • Have You Shared Your Story Yet?

    Many people try to grow their online presence —trying to build something unique. Yet they tell stories that everybody has heard before. You could share your story. Tell what happens in your life. It’s hard to do, so maybe — you think there is no story to tell. You have nothing interesting to share. Or you think that it’s scary. You don’t want to tell your story to nobody. I understand all that. But here’s the question:Why did you start? What made you want to start this business in the first…

    Hey Reader, When I was in the early stages, I didn’t have any clients. I knew that I wanted clients. They also had to pay, because why would I fix it cheaply for free? This felt like it would be silly. I went on to do calls. Pitched myself on DMs. Tried all the things that people advise to do. Yet I couldn’t get clients. What changed for me was when I looked at how the big guys started. Alex Hormozi started his fitness coaching by doing offers on his private Facebook profile for people to…

  • Seasonal Stewardship

    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. Work hard and rest. Season of sorrow and season of joy. Then there are also seasons of life: when you’re a child. An adult. Single and married. Engaged. Having young kids. All these seasons change your responsibility. So in effect, it changes your stewardship. All the points of Extreme Stewardship…

  • The Effective Man is a Dangerous Man

    Hey Reader, What’s the difference between a dog and a wolf? You might say one is tamed while the other is a wild animal. You might say one is a pet and the other is dangerous. Those are true. But here’s one more interesting observation. When I was studying wild life, I also studied wolves. There is a major difference in how a wolf and a dog move. It is one of the best differentiators for their tracks: The dog strolls while the wolf strides. When you observe a dog, he goes from tree to tree….
