Leverage: Optimizing Resources and Strategy
Leverage
How to Carry More? Use Leverage to Uplevel.
Successful people know that leveraging resources is key to making it all happen. They overstand that strategic planning and effective use of their resources are crucial in the Game of Life. By leveraging their income to gain help, they buy back time, which they can then use to accomplish tasks with a higher profit yield. Instead of spending their own time on lower-value tasks, they delegate those responsibilities to others, exchanging money for time.
Think of it this way: the harder you work at the beginning, the sooner you build a reserve of resources that you can leverage. By front-loading your efforts, you create a strong foundation, allowing you to stack resources more quickly. Once you have these resources, you can use them to save time—essentially "buying" extra time in the Game. Remember how you talked about expanding time? When you both buy time and expand it, you experience a compounding effect—potentially leading to exponential growth.
When Should You Get Help? The Sooner, The Better
The moment you have the means, start leveraging by seeking help. The entire point of leveraging is to exchange money to free up time, which you can then use to focus on your highest profit-producing activities. But how do you know what these activities are? Start by calculating your hourly rate. Determine how much you earn while performing each of your tasks or jobs. Once you have a clear overstanding of your hourly rate, delegate or outsource any tasks that do not meet this rate threshold.
This approach allows you to level up in life by leveraging your resources effectively. Every asset—your time, money, skills, and connections—can be utilized to your advantage. The goal is to focus on high-profit-producing tasks and invest your resources in a way that buys back time for the things that matter most. When you optimize your resources, you maximize your potential to achieve greater things.
Make the Most of What You Have
Leverage is all about using what you already have to gain more. This could mean reallocating your time to concentrate on the most important tasks or using your financial resources to delegate or outsource tasks that drain your energy. Always ask yourself: What can I leverage right now to move closer to my goals?
Successful people constantly leverage their resources to enhance their Game. They use their time, money, and networks strategically to gain help, buy back time, and focus on higher-yield tasks. By front-loading their efforts and working hard at the beginning, they stack their resources and create the momentum needed to achieve their objectives.
