The Power of Leverage

Success is all about LEVERAGE!

Leverage: Its root word is lever, coming from the middle eastern word levour. A levour was a bar used for prying or dislodging something, denoting the means of accomplishing a purpose. Interestingly enough, one of the characteristics of a lever is that is allows one to not only gain advantage, but to do so at a distance.

So what does leverage allow us to do?

Let me reiterate: It allows us to gain advantage and to do so from a distance. Leverage is more subtle, and more effective when it is exercised from a distance. The greater the distance, the greater the leverage. Thus, if you're a network marketer or business owner, the better trained your managers/leaders and employees are, or the bigger your downline is, the more leverage you will have.

We can also look at the biblical tale of David and Goliath. Goliath had power (mass, strength) but David with his slingshot had leverage. How cool is that?

Archimedes, a native to Syracuse, Sicily had to be one of the greatest mathematicians known to man. He knew that by applying a lever, one could life even the heaviest of objects by applying even the weakest of forces. In fact, he made this statement to King Hiero of Syracuse:

"Give me a leaver long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world."

   - Archimedes

You don't have to be some superhero to have leverage, you just have to understand the principles behind it, then you begin to build it, until you obtain it.

So what are the Principles of Leverage?

Let me share with you what my father-in-law, Dan thinks they are.

"First thing is thoughts are things. What you think about you bring about."

So may I ask you, what are you thinking about every day, hour, minute, and second?

Are they good thoughts or are they bad thoughts?

Do they uplift or do they degrade?

Are they focused on your goals, desires, and aspirations for the day, or are they scattered all over the place(like mine tend to be at times).

Dan:                              "You need to learn the principles of leverage if you want...

TIME Freedom

FINANCIAL Freedom

FAMILY Freedom

ALL other Freedoms to be able to do WHAT you want, WHEN you want, and WHERE you want."

To max out the principle of leverage you need to have as many voices as you can working for you, not against you.

To max out on the principle of leverage you have to have momentum and be consistent in whatever you do.

John D. Rockefeller said it best, "I would rather earn 1% off a 100 people's efforts than 100% of my own efforts."

The Laborer is Worthy of His Hire!

WORK WORK WORK!

The LABORER is WORTHY of his HIRE!

I feel that this phrase is all that needs to be said. What power in such few words. The first time I heard phrase was when I was 18 years of age. I didn't really think about its meaning at the time, however I'm slowly beginning to understand the importance of it now that I am older and work is inevitable.

The laborer 'IS' worthy of his hire!  Although I didn't continue my educational pursuits in the medical field, the one lesson I learned in my educational career is that if I wanted to get good grades I had to discipline myself; do my homework, take good notes, studying hard, and applying what I've learned into life. It wasn't easy, but when I put forth the effort and did all that I could, grade expectations were met.

One of the key principles that my father (Rod Beazer) taught me as a child is the principle of labor or WORK. Many of us may wonder why some people seem to progress, have success, and obtain their goals, while we struggle and seem to fall short of the bar constantly. The answer is very simple... WORK. WORK, WORK, WORK, WORK, WORK, WORK! That's it! Those who obtain and accomplish are DOERS, they become worthy of their hire. WHY? Because they have learned to master the habit and principle of WORK.

All progress and success in ones life is dependent upon how much work and effort one is willing to put in. No matter what career path you choose (for me it's direct sales), always remember that the laborer is worthy of his hire. Thus, the more effort and work you put in, the more skilled you become. The more skilled you become, the more qualified you are, which in turn makes you worthy of you hire.

Lets devise a simple mathematical equation, let's call it "The Formula For Guaranteed Success":

D x W = S or DESIRE x WORK = SUCCESS

Now I know in general A x B =AB but not this time, work with me here.

Take note how I made it a multiplication versus and addition formula. I did this specifically because if you plug a 0 in for desire or work the end result will always be 0. If one has zero desire or work they have zero success, pretty simple no? However, the greater your desire and work, the greater your success will be. Therefore, if you have a DESIRE to obtain success (in whatever it may be), and you are willing to WORK, I mean actually do meaningful work, than you become worthy of your hire and success is inevitable.

I have to be honest and let you know that I've lacked in the WORK aspect of my job. But it is a New Year; a time for change for me and for you. Let us all say....

Today I will labor DILIGENTLY (with all my might, mind, and strength) that I may be WORTHY of my HIRE!
