Leveraged Business
Having a leveraged business allows you to do more with less and ultimately earn more money in your business. For the home business entrepreneur, there are several ways that you can create a leveraged business:
Outsource As Much As Possible
A great way to leverage your time in your business is to outsource all the necessary, but unproductive, tasks to someone else for a small fee. You can easily hire people to handle your customer service, answer email, write articles, submit links, handle the accounting, etc.
When you outsource all the mundane tasks necessary for running a home business, then you can spend all your time on the tasks that are directly related to producing an income for your business.
Automate Everything You Can Automate
It just makes no sense, especially if you're striving for a leveraged business, to perform the same tasks over and over... especially if you can put them on autopilot and save yourself the time.
Here are some examples of everyday tasks that you might be able to automate:
Sifting and sorting incoming email: There are a lot of email programs that allow you to put filters on your email so that incoming messages automatically arrive in the right folder, get deleted, or send a message back to the sender. This can save you a lot of time in your business... no one likes sifting through email.
Customer Service: You can easily implement a help desk system that will put the process of answering common problems on autopilot, as well as keeping track of open tickets and responding to customers. Help desks can be a tremedous time-saver.
Delivering eBooks, Courses, Reports, etc.: Autoresponders are a great way to communicate with prospects and customers! You can send out ebooks, courses, reports, or anything else you want automatically with an autoresponder, and follow up email marketing is an absolute breeze when you use them.
Build Residual Income
Residual income is probably the best way to create a leveraged business because you do the work once and get paid over and over and over again.
If you're not familiar with the concept of residual income, let me give you an example. Let's say that you sell monthly magazine subscriptions. Everytime you sell a subscription, you earn a monthly income for every month that the customer remains subscribed.
The idea of residual income is pretty common online with people creating membership websites, mastermind groups, ongoing training websites, etc.
If you know something that lends itself to a membership website of some kind, you can easily create a leveraged business.
But there's another way that you can build a leveraged income that's more substantial than the simple membership website... It's network marketing.
In network marketing, you sell products and introduce people into your business. The people you introduce into your business do the same... And so on.
The real beauty of this kind of leveraged business is that you earn a residual income from every person you introduce into the business as well as the people that they introduce... usually down several levels.
You can build an army of people creating a monthly income for you through this kind of business.
So in my business for example, if you were to introduce three people per month into your business every month for a year, at the end of that year you would be earning $29,568 per month in recurring income.
Now that's what I call a leveraged business!

In the meantime, that about wraps up our discussion of leveraged business.
