Use Leverage

Kekich Credo #19 - Use leverage with ideas (the ability to generalize is the key to intellectual leverage), work, money, time and people. To maximize profits, replicate yourself. Earning potentials become geometric rather than linear.

Leverage - The first thing that comes to mind goes back to Science lessons in school.  First, Second and Third class levers. I think of the placement of the fulcrum. But I don’t think this is what this Credo statement means.

The definition of the word leverage is the exertion of force by means of a lever or an object used like a lever.  As a verb the definition is to use something to maximum advantage.

This credo statement says to use leverage with ideas, work, money, time and people.  So the second definition would say to use ideas, work, money, time and people to maximum advantage.  Don’t do it alone.  Make use of all these things to increase your advantage.  

Ideas or intellectual leverage - this statement says the ability to generalize is the key. 

What is intellectual leverage? Regular analysis of your intellectual property data can help you identify the assets that are performing well and can drive more growth. This analysis can also identify the things that are underperforming and thus costing you money.  Tracking your data is important.  Keep track of what is working well and make changes when things are not performing well. 

To maximize profits, replicate yourself.  Earning potentials become geometric rather than linear.

Linear means constant growth. A straight line.  y = mx + b  [I am a math teacher so I had to add the formula for a straight line into my post.]  

Geometric makes me think of exponential growth but there is a difference between geometric growth and exponential growth.  Geometric growth is discrete which means change happens at specific intervals.  Exponential growth is continuous which means change happens at every instant.  

The 19th Credo says that when you replicate yourself your earning potentials become geometric rather than linear.  

Some questions to ask yourself: Are you using leverage to increase your advantage?  Are you tracking the things you are doing?  Are you analysing your data and discovering what is working well and what needs to improve?  Is your earning potential becoming geometric rather than linear?
