Day 11 – Think BIG And Act Small
Day 12 – SHARE Your Blessing
Day 13 – Join A Mastermind TEAM
Day 14 – LEVERAGE What You Have

Before we move on to today’s topic, I’d like you to write down the most important life lesson you learned this week.

QUOTE
“Give me a lever long enough and I could move the world.” — Archimedes.

LESSON
Leverage is a fascinating topic to me which I have studied in detail. Leverage simply means “the ability to do more with less.”

When it came to the subject of work, money, and leverage, rich dad (in Robert Kiyosaki’s book “Rich Dad, Poor Dad”) would say, “if you want to become rich, you need to work less, and earn more. In order to do that, you employ some form of leverage.”

He contrasted that statement by saying, “People who only work hard have limited leverage. If you’re working hard physically and not getting ahead financially, then you’re probably someone else’s leverage.”

My good friend Michael Stay taught me the tri-cord of LEVERAGE is Rest, Reflection, and Revelation. I’ve come to discover that journaling (writing) enhances all three of those things.

One of the revelations I had in the past few years is JIREH Marketing = Journaling + Coaching + Web 2.0. JIREH Marketing is marketing by and for Jehovah JIREH.

What we are seeing in people who learn to strategically combine those three skill sets is explosive Kingdom impact.

Brian Tracy, a well-known motivational speaker, says, “Know the Right People! One of the greatest forms of financial leverage is contacts. Knowing the right people and being known by them can open doors for you that can save you years of hard work. The quality and quantity of your contacts and your relationships will have more to do with your success than perhaps any other factor.

Brian McFadin claims there are the 3 mistakes you are making that are keeping you from having what you want:

1) CLARITY: Not knowing exactly what you want, in measurable and reachable ways that are INTENSELY CLEAR, ultra specific, and totally inspiring to you.

2) S.M.A.R.T. GOALS: Not understanding how to set goals and act on them in ways that work for you and produce results at an exceptional level.

3) COACHING: Not having a powerful partner (coach), committed to your success, to challenge, cherish and cheer you along the way to victory.

QUESTION
Lord, what simple step can I take this week to better leverage what I have?

PRAYER
Heavenly Father, we praise You as the God of leverage, the God of miracles. Teach me to do more with less. Teach me to let go and let God. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

Blessings to LEVERAGE what you have!
