Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world.- Archimedes
During our sojourn, we've done a lot of soul searching and gone through that 'midlife crisis' phase only to return back to our origin - that is, writing about freelancing and marketing. We will also start to write more about other topics too - including personal finance, economics and self development.
Our first article on this new arena will be an e-book review on the book 'Leveraging Leverage' which is available at Amazon Kindle. We have always been staunch believers of personal development and aggressively watch the latest YouTube videos on anything having to remotely deal with self improvement and gain. That's why when we read this book, we felt it touched a nerve and really connected with us in another level.
Without getting into too much detail, the premise of this book is quite simple - since the dawn of civilization, humans have always strived to use the concept of leverage wherever they could - from inventing the first manual levers to lift heavy objects otherwise impossible to carry - to devising complex but convenient financial tools like mortgages, margin trading and IPOs - all in an effort to harness the power of leverage.
