Eric Jorgenson – Building a Mountain of Leverage Course
Accomplish More.
Break the constraints of the typical day. Learn how to accomplish superhuman feats by playing a different game — building leverage.
- Prioritize — Get the critical things done.
- Produce — Increase your output-to-effort.
- Compound — Build greater impact every day.
Leverage: from idea to application.
Levers are force multipliers. This is how some people can accomplish 10x, 100x, or 1,000,000x what others can. Leverage can multiply outcomes from your effort, your skill, and your judgment.
- Can you lift 800 pounds? You could with an 18-foot lever.
- Can you earn $50,000/year without working even 1 hour? You could with $1,000,000. (leverage from capital)
- Can you get 100,000 people to read your tweet? You could with 100 retweets. (leverage from an audience)
Those who focus on building, growing, and re-investing in Leverage are playing a different game. And the gap between the levered and the unlevered is going to keep growing.
- Separate your time from your income
- Manage multiple workflows without chaos
- Get more than 24 hours in the day
- Re-invest, compound, level-up, and escape.
