Leverage
The best example of leverage is that of Microsoft CEO and Founder, Bill Gates, one of the wealthiest men known to the modern world.
But what is it that Bill Gates does differently than the average Joe?
Well this is not rocket science and merely involves a basic understanding of simple mathematics:
Microsoft Corporation employs an estimated 25,000 full-time employees, all of whom work 40 hours per week.
Take a look at the maths:
25,000 employees x 40 hours per week = 1,000,000 hours of work per week
Leverage – what does it mean?
It means that Bill Gates is being paid on the productivity of 25,000 employees to the tune of 1,000,000 (One Million) hours per week, yet the average person is only capable of working 80,000 (eighty thousand) hours during his or her entire natural lifetime!
And how does he accomplish this?
Through the Power of Leverage.
How Do You Leverage Your Time?
Mr. Gates leverages both his time and his money through the productivity
of other people, all of whom are working toward his cause and he profits
richly from it.
Now, is it any wonder that he’s one of the richest men in the world today?
… Not bad for a college drop-out computer geek, eh!
Let’s take a closer look at the mathematics involved in Mr. Gates’ master
plan:
We have already calculated that Bill Gates is paid on 1,000,000 hours of human effort per work week
… but what is the significance of these numbers?
Well, if we break the mathematics down one step further, we realize that 1,000,000 hours weekly divided by 80,000 hours of work (per 1 human lifetime), we realize that Bill Gates is able to exhaust 12.5 lifetimes worth of human energies per week, and for every single work week!
Most impressive, wouldn’t you say?
Bill Gates is “squeezing blood from a turnip” and is filthy rich because of it!
In order for one single individual to accomplish being paid on 1,000,000 hours of work by himself during his entire natural lifetime, that person would have to:
1. Begin working the day he was born;
2. Work around the clock, 24 hours per day 365 days per year, and
3. Would have to live to be and WORK until he was 114.2 years old!
That person would never sleep, eat or have any form of recreation. He would have to work every single second of every day.
And as outrageous as it sounds, this is the power of the simple mathematics involved in Bill Gates’ master plan, and he knew exactly what he was doing as he built his massive corporation.
Do You Leverage Your Time?
Are you still convinced that you are going to become wealthy through your own exclusive efforts, marketing those affiliate programs and without exercising the power of
leverage?
I will tell you without hesitation …
It’s Unlikely!
So many people are adamant that they are going to become rich when they just find the “right” affiliate product that will sell like mad, but they refuse to employ the principals and business model that are used by those who already ARE wealthy.
They don’t understand the simple mathematics behind true wealth creation.
All you need is a calculator and the ability to multiply and divide.
Run the numbers for yourself and you will see that you had better take a different approach to marketing if you intend to make any REAL income.
The bottom line …
Leverage is mandatory for wealth creation, and you will NOT become wealthy without it.
You are either exercising the power of leverage for yourself, or you are serving as leverage for someone else, and building their wealth for them.
