POWER OF LEVERAGE





The word leverage is a physics concept which means the exertion of force by means of a lever. That is to say, force was exerted but by means of something, a level. Now, that brings us to the context here, leverage in business, leadership or life. According to the w5 consulting, leverage is a general technique to maximise gain and losses. That's if you would gain anything measurable out of life you must be able to leverage on a few things or opportunities.
Everyone has something to leverage on no matter how little. Some times you see some popular musicians whose parents are well to do, they tap into the wealth available and they made something tangible out of it. Leverage does not mean you will or should be lazy it's only an avenue to push up using something.

There are several things you can leverage on ranging from from other people's money (OPM), other people's resources (OPR), other people's idea (OPI), other people's time (OPT) and many others. You see, if you can't leverage on some of these things climbing up the ladder might become so difficult.
A few things you can leverage on are

Technology

The age we are in right now is an age where technology has taken over some business activities the least of it is your cell phone through which you can connect the world at the same make so much money through it. You have something so use it.

Education

Not everyone had the opportunity to attend school especially tertiary institution, now you have that opportunity which means you can leverage on your education, the knowledge you have gained over time can be applied to profer solutions to some known problems, that's why you went to school.

Ideas
Coming up with ideas might become a very cumbersome job yet there a million and one ideas out there which you can leverage on, don't wait, even though it us very important that you're creative and create great ideas yet it is not out of place tapping from people's idea and setting yourself up still you should put in mind not to lift everything someone else has done, you might be sued for plagiarism.

What are you leveraging on today, don't you think you're staying too long on your execution, start now, yes right now. 
Till I come your way again, keep growing.

THE LEADER-SHIP   Why has Nigeria not improved or developed since her independence? Aren't we praying enough?, Aren't we pragmatic enough? I have viewed Nigeria as one of the most "religious" and not "spiritual" nation in the world. I have also tried to ask myself, why has things not improved despite our commitment to religious activities. Instead of having a better and saner society, decadence has rather been the order of the day. Is it our prayers that are hindering our progress or our less pragmatism and inaction? June 12, 2019 which is today, Nigeria celebrates 20years of uninterrupted democracy which is presently viewed as the best system of government and which is an ideology being pursued by many nations of the world, infact the United Nations. But the truth is this, for the fact that it worked for the rest of the world doesn't mean it will also work for Nigeria though that's not my focus in this article.   We have seen our great n

WORK AND PRAY

WORK AND PRAY... The life of the Lord Jesus Christ portrays a perfect example for us all to follow. The greatest teacher I have come across in my entirety is CHRIST.  Christ showed us a perfect example of what our living should be like not by saying it but by living it. He worked and He prayed, he never left anything to chance or allowing nature to take its turn on him. In our world of today, many at times we want some things to happen overnight after we have taken our sessions in vigils and prayers for breakthrough calling it miracle yet we never moved an inch from our comfort zone to go get what to eat or wear yet we want God to answer such prayers and if he doesn't some folks will threaten the person of God that they won't attend services or meetings...hmmm, quite funny though. The truth about this matter is that, blessings listens to hardwork even your breakthrough. Breakthrough doesn't come to lazy people, neither does God bless

WHY MEN FAIL

In the year 2000, I was caught in a fix between of making a decision that could change my life for the betterment or the worse, I was naive, inexperienced, I couldn't really choose between right and wrong due to this someone else made the decision for me and at the end of the day that singular decision that was made on my behalf cost me so much in my life pursuit...it was so real, all these happened because I couldn't get some basic thing I need to forge ahead, I had no direction for my life so I couldn't choose right. Have you ever asked yourself or inquire from more experienced persons why you are not making headway? Did you bother to look into the major reason why you are having a setback? The major reason you are struggling through life and you feel like taking your own life or even play the blame game on one person or the other is because you lack a few things, yea, I'm not talking about money here because money does not answer to everything moreover, money i
