Hello All!

Wow, this (and other recent) discussions on Leverage have certainly gotten me thinking!

I also had this vision, reading the interaction between Jesse and Dien, of you two having a deep discussion on business principles in a meeting somewhere in Hawaii...hey, its nice to have a vision to go towards, right? Seeing as you both appreciate Hawaii so much! What could be leveraged there?! *Putting on my thinking cap*

Anyway, I digress!

One of the ways I use Leverage actually combines some of the lines of thinking I have been integrating into my work through a piece from Gordon's Pictogrigm's on Finances. Looking at RESOURCES differently, such as TIME and MONEY and the "Stuff we Possess right NOW to create more abundance."

As a writer, I take each piece that I write and use it in as many different forms as possible and make as many things from it as possible, thus leveraging a one-time-exercise into a much larger possibility.

For example: whenever I write a Personal Development article, I publish it first in my ezine, Discovering Your Passion. Then I send it out to other publishers for use on their websites, ezines, etc. I also use the content of my article in my individual coaching sessions, teleclasses or audio-programs. I can use an article as a foundation of a chapter for a book or course. My tips articles are now being woven into a tips booklet.

My articles also are one way I promote my services. They brand me. They have brought me opportunities to speak, to appear in publicity pieces, and I have made COUNTLESS connections with people ALL the world over from people who have read my work and connected with me from there.

This week, as I have had a rather challenging time emotionally, my mailbox has continued to be filled with email from people who write thanking me for the impact my writing has had in their lives. Folks I have never met all over this planet tell me that what I have written has made a powerdul difference for them. This then creates MORE leverage for me because it provides fuel for me to keep on keeping on....

Continuing the thinking process over here...

With Purpose and Passion,
