(Essay 8/30) Riding the leverage curve
Today is 31st Dec.
The last calendar day of 2022.
Hence, I will keep this one very short.
In fact, this is just a year end note to self.
A lot happened this year.
I got my dream job but left it in 9 months.
Instead, I chose a soulful path of wealth building.
Took a bet on myself. Now building my own venture.
Kickstarted good habits - writing, journaling, reading, meditation, fitness and focused work.
What I realized with time, is that to achieve anything worthwhile, one's efforts have to fall on the right side of the leverage curve.
This means my solo skills & working capacity won't lead to any tangible outcome.
Rather, I need to scale my skills & working capacity, beyond me - through right leverage.
This is how I plan to build my leverage:
- Operating systems: for creating a predictable pipeline of marketing content, community outreach & day to day project related work.
- Outsource: research & curation to contractors. Avoid low impact tasks.
- Create mastermind group: Build relations with mentors who are on similar path but 2x/3x achievers.
Collective proven experience is far more potent than solo intelligence.
This is just a rough outline, a strawman.
As I start implementing it, greater clarity will emerge.
I'll return to this once I have given it more shape.
On that note, closing it for today.
Wish you all a very happy new year ahead.
