Humanity has used several forms of leverage to create wealth through history, Naval Ravikant summarizes them into four kinds: Labour, Capital, Media and Code.Besides leverage, the way we put work into our careers and projects can also be divided into two categories, which are Time-based work and Iterations-based work.In this Thread I'm going to dissect these categories, go through how we can use this knowledge to find our own way to generate wealth and show how it can be permissionless and not solely based on hard work.

The "Newly Rich" Way To Generate Wealth

Leverage is about disconnecting your inputs from your outputs, or increasing the ratio between one and the other.For example, if you're a lumberjack and work by yourself, 8 hours of work will equal roughly "8 hours worth" of output, depending on your physical capacity and experience.However, if you were to hire a team to work for or with you, you'd be leveraging your work though labour, and increasing the ratio of results to hours put in.

What Is Leverage?

Labour<ul><li>The oldest form of leverage, existing ever since feudal societies.</li><li>Permissioned leverage, requires people to work for or with you.</li><li>Hard to manage, requires great people management skills.</li></ul>Capital<ul><li>The form of leverage behind the rich of the previous generations</li><li>Permissioned leverage, requires acquisition of money from other people.</li><li>Good credit can greatly facilitate access to this form of leverage, though it can be risky.</li></ul>

Classic Kinds Of Leverage

Media<ul><li>More recent, came to be through the printing press and exponentially blew up with the internet.</li><li>Permissionless, anyone can create content and distribute it to nearly the whole world.</li></ul>Code<ul><li>The most recent kind of leverage, behind the "Newly Rich".</li><li>Can work for you while you sleep.</li><li>Permissionless, any product or service created through code has near infinite capability of distribution and scalability.</li></ul>

"Newly Rich" Kinds Of Leverage

Easier and more efficient than leveraging work in which "hours worked" is the main input, you can leverage work based on iterations.If you have the knowledge required for some manual kind of work – let's use baking as an example – you can productize the information itself instead of working solely through labour.By creating an infoproduct such as an ebook or an online course, you'll have a product that can instantly be multiplied and sold to anyone, anywhere in the world.

Which Kind Of Work To Leverage?

"But I'm not qualified enough to do it" False. Not only can you market it as beginner friendly and sell it for cheaper, you will also learn even more by creating, and then be able to reiterate and make new, diferent kinds of content.Thanks to the new forms of leverage, you can start practically without cost, and have a product that works for you while you sleep.Try it as a fun side project, do it with a friend, do it about a topic you love, or do it just to prove to yourself that you can leverage your knowledge and generate wealth.

Stop Doubting Yourself, Just Start

What I've learned so far reading the "wealth" section The Almanack of Naval Ravikant, I strongly recommend everyone to read it.

GETTING RICH IS NOT JUST ABOUT LUCK; HAPPINESS IS NOT JUST A TRAIT WE ARE BORN WITH. These aspirations may seem out of reach, but building wealth and being happy are skills we can learn. So what are these skills, and how do we learn them? What are the principles that should guide our efforts? What does progress really look like? Naval Ravikant is an entrepreneur, philosopher, and investor who has captivated the world with his principles for building wealth and creating long-term happiness. The Almanack of Naval Ravikant is a collection of Naval's wisdom and experience from the last ten years, shared as a curation of his most insightful interviews and poignant reflections. This isn't a how-to book, or a step-by-step gimmick. Instead, through Naval's own words, you will learn how to walk your own unique path toward a happier, wealthier life.

The Almanack Of Naval Ravikant

We don't need to explain why so many thinkers pass on essentially the same message: that life is suffering, or at least that suffering is one of the fundamental components of life. Practically everyone who has reached adulthood has either been through hell or been close to someone who has.And it's ok not to be able to bear the tragedy of life at times, because it can truly be tragic, and there are a lot of factors other than sheer willpower that define your capacity of dealing with it, such as how or in what conditions you were raised.

The Weight You Have To Carry To Live

Some people are naturally more inclined towards assertiveness, as psychometric studies point out, and that can make it easier to deal with life's problems, be them situations or people.However, those on the more agreeable end of the spectrum might have difficulty finding strength in their goodwill and wish to help others. The problem is, lack of strength descreases the probability that you'll be able to do so.

Differences In Assertiveness

But as life is, in fact, suffering; and as suffering is hard to bear, those who wish to be helpful need to go beyond good intentions to find strength. It might be their way of getting out of the comfort zone and integrating their own shadows.The weight of life might be too heavy for weak people to carry alone, and a lot of times not because of their lack of will. Therefore moral and mental toughness can be not only a way for you not to weigh on other people with the unbearable suffering of your own life, but as a meaning for those who wish to be a pillar of support for those who truly need it.
