Why have I never thought of this in this way?
I was listening to a podcast (I think it’s this episode, don’t know listened to too many but either way, his stuff is incredible) by Bedros Keuilian, and I realized that best relationships are win-win.
If there’s no win and leverages on both sides, you bet it’s not going to go long-term, but another topic for another day.
Since I mostly talk about entrepreneurship (which, btw if you follow to-the-toe manuals, you’re gonna fail cause two businesses are never identical to one another), the enterprising leverage that’s been in my mind has always been:
How do I optimize my time?
How do I not trade time for money?
How do I do what’s beyond my physical capabilities?
These are really the same questions masking one another.
Paid Experience Internship in the Form of a Job
But one thing that stuck with me from this episode is that I had paid entrepreneurship internships in the mask of two and a half full-time jobs previously. But these are information best divulged in my future book (so buy them when the time comes ok!).
Sometimes, the best manual is to work and learn from those who have done it. Learn closely, under them, and you’ll see things you’ll never read in a book.
You’ll see the things that you do not want from a non-rosey-lens, which can then help you implement and actualize the things you want and could catalyze your future pursuit.
Of course, the price you’re paying for this is your manpower and time in exchange for money. But you’re not only getting money. You’re getting invaluable lessons for your next pursuit.
And if you think about it, your job is investing in the future you. Your capabilities.
So leverage does go both ways.
In a different context, to what extent would you tolerate leverage?
Some leverages, when not regulated, ends up becoming obligation.
Obligation is heavy. Only certain folks deserve it from us.
