Want to Succeed In Legitimate Home Business Opportunities? You Need Leverage!
What is leverage? Traditionally, leverage is associated with
risk (debt). In real estate, for example, you leverage properties by putting a
mortgage on them. You can buy a $100,000 house with $10,000 down. In that
situation, you have leveraged 90% of the house. However, when the house goes up
in value, say 5% ($5,000) you make a 50% return on your original $10,000! That
is the power of leverage. When talking about legitimate home business
opportunities, however, leverage is slightly different.
As briefly mentioned earlier, leverage can be great; it can
also be bad. Essentially leverage maximizes your returns (or losses). In
legitimate home business opportunities, leverage becomes a different tool.
Instead of leveraging money you leverage time. So many stories exist of people
going from “no experience” to making $10,000, $20,000, $30,000+ online in a
matter of months. The reason this can happen is because of exactly that:
leverage. The ability to leverage time, leverage knowledge, leverage ideas, and
leverage the entire population online makes for an incredible opportunity for
someone who understands how to do it.
Leverage is a key component in success. It is, however, the
main component in rapid success. Take for example MLM companies. Pitching your
warm group, cold-calling leads, handing out fliers, and talking to everyone you
meet about your business may work. You may, after some unknown amount of time,
be able to create a little business. That’s great! However, that is the exact
opposite of leverage. I heard a saying the other day that I thought was
interesting involving leverage. A lady I know who does MLM said “I can
guarantee you that 100% of the time I do nothing, I’m not getting any results!”
While that is true in most cases it is precisely the difference between the 97%
and the 3%. The 97% say “I need to work harder to get more results” while the
3% say “I need to find a way to work less and get more results.” The answer, is
leverage. Leverage is one reason why legitimate home business opportunities can
be so powerful.
Now I know what everyone is thinking “How do I use leverage
to my advantage in a home business opportunity?” That’s what I thought as well
when I first looked at getting into home business opportunities. However, truth
be told, I understood leverage a little bit. So I went out and looked for a
system I could use (leverage) and people who knew how to do it (leverage) so I
could learn the best, fastest way to get the results I wanted. Systems create
time leverage, mentors/coaches create knowledge leverage (shorten the learning
curve tremendously) not to mention help keep motivation up; give a path. All of
these things are vital in the early stages of being an entrepreneur.
Perhaps you are wondering “Couldn’t I just do it myself?”
Sure. You most certainly can. However, what true entrepreneurs understand is
that time is the most important asset we have. Leverage essentially creates
more time. More time is more money. What kind of price can you put on time? In
my opinion, time is the most valuable thing we have. Leverage increases the
amount of time we have. That’s why, in my opinion, it is one of the most
important concepts for new entrepreneurs to grasp.
