Leverage

"Give me a place to stand and a lever and I will move the whole world."

The philosopher Archimedes said that, about 2300 years ago. Actually, Archimedes said, "Πα βω και χαριστιωνι ταν γαν κινησω πασαν" -- but that's Greek to me.

What I do understand is that I can do more when I'm working with someone (or several someones) than I can ever hope to do alone.

So if our friend Archimedes were a network marketer, I think what he'd be saying is, "Give me a great product and a team to leverage and we will all make a world of money."

No gym membership required

I know I shouldn't feel this way, but I'm not really crazy about gyms. I'm not proud of it, but it's a fact.

But yesterday I learned a way to give my body a great workout without going near a gym. No running shoes or sweatpants required. All you have to do is one thing, one little tiny thing:
Leave your comfort zone.

Okay, I lied. Not such a little thing after all, is it? At least not the first time you leave your comfort zone. But keep taking regular trips out of the comfort zone and an amazing thing happens: you get used to life on the outside. And your comfort zone expands.

So what does that have to do with the gym? When you exercise, one of the things your body does is produce adrenaline. It widens your blood vessels, makes your heart beat a little faster. Just like aerobic exercise. So you can give yourself a workout without going to the gym. At first, this burst of adrenaline feels uncomfortable - you get that "fight or flight" urge. But the more you do the thing that scares you, the more used your body will get to this adrenaline rush. And pretty soon, your body will get so used to that level of adrenaline that it won't make you feel uncomfortable anymore. Cool or cool? Oh yeah.
