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.

    This is a topic I keep thinking about. I’m yet to fully grasp what it means.We don’t like to be manipulated. It often happens — when I’m on X or other social platforms,I feel like the Sales Bros are always trying to be manipulative. A lot of the strategies behind Persuasion and Manipulation are similar.They are similar to what they do —but we don’t like to be sold to.

  • Build the bridge, not just the offer

    ByJowi

    You don’t sell a product, you’re not creating an offer or doing a service — you’re helping someone transform their lives. They have a problem or pain, and they wish to make a change. Anything we do is there to help them build a bridge. It is the Bridge of Transformation. So whenever we think of something to do or build, we should first understand the Transformation: Where are they coming from? Where are they going? Then we get a deeper understanding of the different options we can build. In…

    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…

  • Follow your passion or not?

    ByJowi

    Hey Reader, The advice to follow your passion has been talked about for many years. Recently, everybody started to talk about Ikigai. It’s a Japanese concept with four sections. The idea is to help you narrow down what you should do. It evaluates whether you’re good at it, whether others demand it, the market, and whether you have passion for it. All good things. There is one challenge though. On paper, it makes everything sound good. When I started out, I talked about fatherhood—because it’s…
