Try to think of someone that became wealthy without the use of leverage. I could not find one person that did. There is always some type of leverage.

You want to leverage other’s people knowledge. Whether is their experiences, skills, connections, resources, money, you name it.

Why?

The answer is simple

How do you know what you know?

Almost everything we know we learned from someone else. I am not just talking about school learning, I am talking about social learning. In one way or another we are surrounded by people. Whether is family, relative, friends, teachers or foes.

Even if you do not realize it, you are influence by the people around you.

The reality is that if your parent are wealthy most likely you will end up wealthy. And if you parent are not wealthy most likely you will end up not wealthy.

Even though it is most likely, there is still hope.

If you not wealthy at the moment. Just start your journey to wealth and health. If for some reason your journey ends before you can reach it, at least your next generation will have a better start than you.

That’s it.

Take a calculated risk.

Now, start and adjust as you go.
