The Three Elements



Have you heard me talk about the Leverage Triangle yet?

As entrepreneurs and pursuers of our dreams and passions, we all have 3 elements to work with when we start a business: Time, Expertise, and Money.

Most of us have very little of each of these in the beginning of our journey—but as we grow our business or our dream of any kind, we begin to have more of each and thus more leverage.

And interestingly enough–successful individuals learn to leverage other people’s time, expertise and money too. And when we do that, we often help other people reach their dreams. Our dreams are often intertwined. We just don’t notice it sometimes.

BUT…

What determines the amount of success you will have and also how fast you will achieve it?

YOUR MINDSET.

Your mindset will determine your success. Period. It is the force and the energy that is driving all those things you need to leverage. The mindset you have is more important than the amount of time you spend on building your dream, more important than your level of expertise, and even more important than how much money you have.

If you aren’t operating your passion and dream plan with proven success Mindsets, you won’t be able to leverage yours or anyone else’s money, expertise, and time exponentially.

How To Manage The Leverage Triangle

Now that you understand the Leverage Triangle and that your mindset is the powerful force driving your leverage ability of the elements of time, money, and expertise—there are some proven behaviors that will help you manage the triangle more productively. Why would you want to manage it better?

   1. Set Boundaries
   2. Hire A Team That Plays At Your Weaknesses As Soon As You Can Afford Them
   3. Use Focus As Your Tool To Eliminate Overwhelm
   4. Partner With Experts Until You Become An Expert Yourself
