Leveraging – The Way to Success and Wealth

In the beginning when the Universal Intelligent known as the creator of heaven and earth completed His work of creation, He asked Adam, the first man on eath, to oversee everything He has created. God knew that Adam alone could not do it and became successful He made Eve so that Adam could leverage on her effort. Throughout the ages, no individual or nation become successful singlehandedly without the effort other people or nations.

The power of leverage was exhibited during the Industrial age. Adam Smith, in the Wealth of The nations, made it known that for production of goods to increase, individuals in the production process must focus their attention on a specific part of the production. This brought efficiency and specialisation of the work force. Henry Ford also believed in this theory invented an improved assembly line and installed the first conveyor belt-based assembly line that reduced production time of building cars. If not for the power of leverage, Henry Ford would not have mass produced his vehicles.

Each of these men has build businesses on leveraging on other people’s effort. Therefore, completing tasks with sole effort will not only make an individual stressed but also worn-out and take longer time to achieve his goal.

It has become also easier to collaborate at high volume with small beginning as a lot of businesses now thrive worldwide.
