Peanuts are for squirrels

Leverage is a hot topic.

In discussing leverage, most transform into business gurus, regressing leverage into a form of glorified consignment.

“If I sell something and someone else works for ‘peanuts’, I can earn more, that’s leverage.”

But there’s a better version of this. One that’s less disrespectful, predatory, and short-sighted.

“If we work together and share the upside, we’ll all achieve more and be better off for it.”

That’s leverage.

All ships rising, greater works happening.

Leverage doesn’t have to mean one person gets more while another gets ‘peanuts’.

Leverage can be good for everyone involved.

Don’t give people ‘peanuts’. They’re not squirrels.
