Archimedes and the lever.

“Give me a lever long enough, and a place to stand, and I will move the earth.” — Archimedes

Heard this from Naval Ravikant’s Tweetstorm.

Life is all about leverage. Whether its work, relationship, negotiations, buying, selling or startups, its all about finding and having the right kind of leverage.

Leverage allows you to do more and scale things quickly.

The best kind of CEOs and people spend all their time thinking, seeking and acquiring the proper leverage to solve all kinds of problems around them.

Leverage allows startups to gain that unfair advantage. It allows growth to scale and opportunities to be capitalized.

For a programmer, your coding skills is the leverage.

For a designer, your creativity is the leverage.

For a youtuber or social media influencer, attention is your leverage.

Steve Jobs was a genius in branding, but he needed phenomenal product design and material engineering to bring his ideas to life. Jony Ive was his leverage.

Find your leverage. Or start making one.

Of course its a little generic, but you get the point.
