Success is in the Leverage: Learn How to Succeed for YOU with Jason Hartman from the Creating Wealth podcast

What this episode covers

Leverage – what does it mean? How do you leverage the different areas of your life? Leverage is defined as the power or ability to act or influence people, events, decisions, etc.; as well as the use of a small initial investment, credit or borrowed funds to gain a very high return in relation to one's investment. Jason Hartman knows all about leveraging and investing! He is real estate investor and podcaster who focuses on leveraging three main areas in his life. And he is willing to share his knowledge with you! He explains that there are three main areas that we need to focus on and leverage to enhance our lives: * Profession and Business: Leverage-friendly areas are being a thought leader and using Internet marketing (podcasting). * Personal Finances/Investments: Investing in the wealth of your life through real estate and other investments. * Biology/Physical Being: Take care of yourself. Keep track of your vitals. What happens to us when our vitals change? There’s an app for that – and the Apple Watch! It is important to leverage those three areas equally. Do not focus on one more than another. Just remember, you can make a lot of money, but you can’t take it with you when you go. Or, there is too much life at the end of money – so make sure you have enough money to enjoy your whole life! About Jason: Jason Hartman got his start in real estate as a teenager.
