Summary of Leverage(Darby Checketts)
Book Presentation: Leverageby Darby Checketts
Book Abstract
MAIN IDEA
Archimedes, the early Greek mathematician, had it right. He famously said: “Give me a lever long enough and a place to stand, and I could lift the world”. Translating that idea into terms that apply in the modern world, at the focal point of every problem there is always a lever. If you identify that lever correctly and then apply it intelligently, every problem that arises can be solved. Leverage is the multiplier effect of creating tipping points which will magnify and enhance the results of your efforts.
With the right partners, literally nothing is impossible in business. All you need is the right skills, a sense of purpose, a broad perspective and the ability to focus on the fulcrum where the force must be applied.
“We face such great challenges and yet we have great leverage to help us solve these problems. The heroes of our society may be the engineers and the scientists who are unlocking the keys to faster, sleeker, longer lasting, more affordable everything. But after all the gadgets have been purchased, there’s still got to be some hero in me. You are the answer. All you need is leverage to lift your world.”

Summary of Leverage(Darby Checketts)
1. Set great goals which will motivate and inspire.
You won’t be able to see your way forward until you have set some goals. Always begin with the end in mind. Then, when doors open, you can decide where best to apply your efforts to achieve maximum leverage.
You won’t be able to increase your personal leverage unless you have goals. It’s quite true you always have to begin with a definitive outcome in mind, even if things change slightly along the way. When you set a goal, you’ll then be able to see what needs to be done and where you need to be heading.
A simple way to do this is sit down and write out a list of the 150 things you want to do during your lifetime. Then work hard at achieving two or three of those items each year. Make those specific items your major goals for that year and do everything in your power to achieve them. Then cross them off your list and focus on two or three other items. The more items you can cross off your list, the better because that shows you’re making progress. Just make sure you remember to dream big and write everything down so you won’t forget. Create a list of dreams you find exciting and it will draw you like a magnet towards a bright and enticing future full of satisfaction with your achievements and accomplishments.
2. Have a sense of purpose and personal principles.
As your life’s achievements get written in a book, you need some bookends to hold everything in place. The best bookends are a personal sense of purpose – what you want to be known for – and a set of principles you want to live by.
Your life must have a core purpose which will dictate the decisions you make every day. In essence, this should describe what you want to be known and remembered for. Your core purpose should represent the legacy you want to leave when you one day make your exit from the stage of life. Your personal sense of purpose should serve as one bookend for the volumes which detail your life’s achievements.
