I realized I’ve been underusing something important
If your income depends entirely on showing up every day, you’re probably underusing something you already own.
Lately I’ve had this quiet realization I can’t shake.
I’ve spent years thinking about freedom in terms of:
time
location
opportunity
who I get to work with
All of that still matters to me.
But I started noticing something uncomfortable:
I’ve been underusing what’s already in my head.
Not in a “work more” way.
In a leverage way.
Most of us have spent years learning things the hard way - through experience, mistakes, repetition, figuring things out when no one was teaching us. Ugh!
And yet… we treat that knowledge like it’s invisible.
We give it away in conversations.
We repeat it for free.
We use it to help other people build their lives or businesses
Which is great - the world could certainly use more generosity and less stinginess.
But we rarely think about it as something that could actually work for us, too.
I used to think monetizing knowledge meant:
becoming a “guru”
teaching strangers
building something huge and public
But I’m realizing that’s not true at all.
The most powerful kind of leverage is quiet.
It doesn’t require constant output.
It doesn’t depend on algorithms.
It doesn’t disappear if you take a step back.
It’s built once, and then it keeps working.
Here’s a thought I wanted to share in case it resonates:
If your income depends entirely on showing up every day,
you’re probably underusing something you already own.
More on this soon.
I’m still putting the pieces together.
