Hey Nik,

Glad you liked it. I've heard of The Richest Man in Babylon. Never read it, but by your description it's exactly how leverage works when you're building a business from the ground up.

And the beauty of building it up from nothing is you know everything about what makes it tick. There's no better experience a leader can get than that when it comes to making the big decisions later on.

You ‘re right Shane leverage can be a very good form for your business growth. That reminds me of a book I’ ve read “The richest man in Babylon” where the hero invests with the money he gathered along the years on slaves to make his work. Now we don’t have slaves but we can have employees and with a good wage they can do over and over quality work for our business.

By the way the book is great I recommend it.

Hey Josh,

Yeah, it takes quite a while to build a great team. That’s one of the main reasons it’s a good idea to build surely and steadily.

A lot of companies that grow too fast implode because they can’t find and develop an amazing team at the same pace.

Great post! This is one of the things that my business partner Nate and I are doing right now. Getting the right people to work for us seems to be the biggest hurdle. In the beginning we thought getting clients would be the hardest, lol. Not true. There’s real value in a simple, easy to understand/read post.

Daniel,

Franchising is a great way to create leverage. McDonalds and many other companies have built empires by leveraging their brand into franchises.

And yeah, sometimes the the most unobvious businesses are huge cash cows. They fill a need and the overhead and variable costs are low; they just make money.

It’s been a while since I’ve heard OPM, thanks for the reminder. Thought you were going to lead into franchising which is another great option for your scenario. Some great points, it’s so true that money earners are not always sexy, junk and breakers yards are often millionaires!
