The #1 Reason Why You’re Working Too Hard And Earning Too Little

We look at the Great Pyramids and wonder how they did that without today’s earth movers. The Great Wall of China is still being walked on over 2,000 years later, and they didn’t have metal cranes and tractors.

Fortunately for us, business owners won’t have to go through the same kind of back-breaking work as the people who built these human wonders. when you’re starting out, though, the tasks you need to focus on can seem as daunting as building a monument.

In a way, you are. Your business or ministry is your legacy. It’s your obligation to oversee its construction. It’s equally important to know that you can’t do it alone, nor should you have to.

This is where the warrior cultivates the fine art of leverage. Leverage is the critical distinction between the people in this world who earn a moderate income and the people who earn massive income.

Leverage simply means doing more with less. The idea is to work smarter, not harder. Get more done – deliver more value with less of your time and energy. Replace yourself as much as possible.

You as a resource equals your time and energy. Most people work on a ratio of one to one. There’s a limit to that. The ones who make the most money are not the day to day workers. They are the creators and architects.

You want to use other people’s talents, skills, contacts, abilities, and resources. Other people may be better than you at certain things. Do what you’re good at and let others do what you’re not good at.

For example, selling products before you have them is a great form of leverage when starting a business. I got money up front from customers then bought the machines for the business. Suppliers want you to do well. I asked them to come in on the advertising before I had the equipment. They put up money for the adverts and I could get the equipment.

Creating a book, program, or technology idea and licensing it for royalties is a way you can leverage for passive income.

The best form of leverage is self-education. You learn certain things and develop yourself so you can put that knowledge into action, which is a huge step. You have to do something with it or else your knowledge is useless. If you’re highly educated and you don’t use what you’ve learned, you start to feel bad about yourself.

Cut out things you don’t enjoy so then you’ll be doing what you really love doing. Change the story about what’s available for you in your life, where you can be, how you play the game.

You only live once. You create your reality. Don’t do things because you think you have to and don’t live out of fear and obligation.

We don’t want you to at the end of your life say “I did what I had to do.” Life is too short for that. And that SUCKS.

If you’re not using leverage, you’re working too hard and earning too little. A lot of people may not think of themselves as creative, but leveraging means creatively maximizing what’s available to you.

What can you leverage? What are you “stuck” doing that you have to do at the moment? We want to hear from you!
