The best way for entrepreneurs with kids ("Parentpreneurs") to build the life and business of their dreams... is by utilizing leverage.
Leverage allows you to have an exponentially greater outcome or result compared to the level of work or effort.
In this episode, I reveal the 6 levers of leverage and give examples of each. This was part of a live 5-day training I did on how Parentpreneurs can generate multiple 5 to 6 figure paydays each and every month, through my Targeted Audience Leveraging System.
