If compounding is the 8th wonder of the world, leverage must be the 9th.
Compounding takes time, but leverage yields almost immediate results.
Leverage is at work when:
✅ You borrow to invest in something and multiply your returns. You are leveraging someone's money.
✅ You get recommended by someone for an opportunity. You are leveraging their brand equity.
✅ You get a team to work on something you won't be able to do alone. You are leveraging their time.
✅ You get valuable advice from someone. You are leveraging their knowledge and experience.
There are many other examples.
Archimedes only needed a lever and a fulcrum to move the world.
In the modern world, we almost always need someone else who can provide us the lever.
Leverage is based on trust. And it can backfire badly if not handled well.
