Unraveling the Elusive: Leverage & Improvement – The Underrated Twins of Material Success 

 August 21, 2023

By  Joe Habscheid

Summary: Many strive for material success, yet the path to achieving it often seems elusive. This uncertainty can lead us to a constant chase after new opportunities, leaving us feeling unsatisfied and restless. However, the secrets to material success lie not in constant novelty, but in two fundamental aspects: leveraging and doing better. The key is to maximize leverage – to strategically use skills, knowledge, and resources to increase output – and focus on constant improvement rather than merely chasing after every new opportunity. This may seem unexciting, even daunting at points, but these principles are the foundation upon which lasting prosperity can be built.

The Intricacies of Earning: Leverage is Your Power

One may wonder how money really works. What is the formula that bridges the gap between effort and earnings? To comprehend this, let's redefine the traditional equation of work as "force times distance." For experts like lawyers, doctors, consultants, and small business owners (as you, my reader, likely are), the nature of our work goes beyond this conventional formula and involves the concept of leverage.

Think of work as outputs, expressed as volume multiplied by leverage. Herein lies the key to boosting our earning potential; by maximizing our leverage, we radically increase our output. Leverage refers to the strategic use of resources, tools, and systems to ramp up our productivity and efficiency. A freelancer can complete more projects, a business owner can streamline operations – all within the same time frame, by utilizing the potent power of leverage.

The Hurdles in Chasing New Opportunities Constantly

It's easy to be lured into the allure of new opportunities in an ever-changing world. A new project, a new venture comes along, and we rush in, hoping this will be the path to greater success, the answer to our financial dreams. But we should pause to consider: does this continual search for the new help us progress? Quite the contrary, it often hinders our path to material success.

Each new project takes up time, energy, and resources that could otherwise be used to bolster our existing endeavors. Furthermore, as we all know, embarking on a new venture often brings with it a host of uncertainties and challenges that can slow us down and scatter our focus. Instead of being lured by the shiny prospect of every new opportunity, we could fare better by concentrating our efforts on one thing: constant improvement.

The Key to Success: Strive to Improve

Here lies what I consider a crucial secret to material success: doing better. Doesn't sound exciting or glamorous, does it? Still, it's the consistency of constant improvement that leads to sustained growth and success. Embarking on a journey of continuous learning, self-development, and innovative improvement may feel tedious at times, even intimidating. But the rewards, both regarding self-growth and increased leverage, can't be underestimated.

Better yet, think about the power of collective improvement. By aligning ourselves with like-minded individuals, pooling together diverse skills, experiences, and resources, we can create something bigger than the sum of our individual achievements, and reach success not just for ourselves, but as a community.

Conclusion: The Path to Material Success

To sum up, the secrets to material success lie in leveraging effectively and constantly improving. We maximize our leverage by amplifying our productivity and efficiency, and we do better by refining our skills, mindset, and processes. This focus avoids the pitfalls of chasing new opportunities constantly, helping us strive for long-term, meaningful success.

However, let's not forget the bigger picture. Material success is not the end goal. A sense of purpose, relationships, personal well-being, and the positive impact we have on society are all equally important. So while we embark on our journey towards material success, let us also consider the wider context of our lives and the difference we make in our world. In doing so, we will find that material success, combined with a sense of purpose and fulfillment, can truly transform our lives.
