As Jack Sparrow waited in his jail cell for an opportunity to break free so he could go about his plundering and pillaging, Will Turner finds him to make a deal over his "bonnie las". Upon settling the trade Jack wonders how Will, a rather slender frame, will manage to relieve him from the prison bars. Lifting the nearby bench and positioning it's legs under the lower set of bars, Jack comments on how he plans to use the bench which instigates the response from Will, that all it takes is "the proper amount of leverage" to lift the door off its hinge and set Jack free . . . so he does and Jack is off to do his pirating thing in Disney's wonderful story taken to film in Pirates of The Carribbean.
Leverage is a very interesting concept that most of us rarely have the pleasure of being on the benefiting end of. We typically see it in place with our credit card obligation, where the card company has allowed us to leverage a good credit standing to issue use borrowing power, only to then leverage us with high interest rates, believe that we are "good for it" and in most cases we are, paying large amounts of money each year in interest.
Some of us have figured out how to turn the tables on leverage, at least in the world of finance and business, where our efforts and money do more than our limited means of earning and investing. Creating multiples, exponential multiples is what we target, where the growth is much more that our own ability to labor hour after hour to achieve a wealth for those we work for (those are the people who have figured at least part of the leverage concept out).
Now, not everybody is going to go out and build a business on the street corner, hoping to hit it big and retire young and rich. Many of us are lazy and are content to work for the "the man" or maybe we have a great fear because of the unknown and security becomes a comfort to us. Business building and financial independence just isn't worth the trade, the exploration of some people's abilities and desires.
Many people who want and are willing, try and try and try without success. Those are the people who have the willing heart but maybe needs some education that the failures are giving them, knowing that persistence coupled with improving over failure is a great recipe for achievement. Granted, some people experience an crash course on the way to tremendous feats, but even for those who tread through years of "education", all are noble efforts and patterns for gaining the desired results.
In the gamete of options for gaining your big business experience and achievement, network marketing has to be the new wave for the independent seeking the financial success and leverage is the quick key to unlocking the door.
Leverage is inherently available to the network marketers who is in it for serious business; not the casual dance in and out of the business, "looking" like he or she is involved, but down and dirty working with people; talking, training, developing, coaching others on what they have learned and assisting others on the way to their success.
This leverage is the same leverage that any and all BIG multi-national firms experience, having once started with just a great product or service to share with the world. Gaining the assistance of others who they hire to help and the leveraging those talents, abilities, languages, time, and more from others to build their dream. It is the vary nature of network marketing that has you getting others involved (hiring - without very much money invested in overhead on your part), teaching them about the business and you need them to do to help them be great at this business, which inturn benefits you!
There is something very noble about the true intent of network marketing (this is not to say that there aren't "snakes" in the industry - there are "snakes" in every industry, I am sure you could names some that you know) - this is to say that your success is dependent on your hard work in developing others. If you "trick", "deceive", "lie" about what the business opportunity is about or the product is for then you will quickly find that justice is served and your fraudulent nature pays you back quickly. The opportunities are as easy to exit as they are to enter.
Your ability to leverage your abilities through developing a business of people who are able to share and sell the products and services is an amazing reward at your doorstep. There is very little danger in starting your road to your own independence through a network marketing business. To build a team that will sell products an you have the opportunity to earn money on everything they do is one of the finest examples of leverage and is a brilliant way to do business. As the saying goes, "Take care of your people and they will take care of you" - day after day, month after month, year after year.
