There are 7 types of leverage. And a human who masters them can do 10x more than everyone else. Here's the complete stack: 🧵

1️⃣ Code leverage AI, agents, automations. You can literally clone yourself digitally. A single developer with Claude + Cursor can outperform entire teams who code manually. Build the systems that work for you.

2️⃣ Media leverage Your audience is your amplifier. One tweet, one video, one email, and you reach thousands instantly. That's why levels or marc can launch anything and make money overnight. Build your own distribution.

3️⃣ Labor leverage A team, freelancers, operators. When others do the work, you multiply output while staying calm. That's how agency owners and CEOs scale beyond being $1M/year. Hire great people.

4️⃣ Capital leverage Money makes money. $10M lets you hire 100 people, invest in 10 businesses, or buy assets that print cash. Pretty simple. Get funded by YC and get this.

5️⃣ Network leverage The people in your DMs are your net worth. One text to the right person = 6 months of cold outreach. That's why YC alumni move so fast. The network *is* the product. Send that cold DM today!

6️⃣ Brand leverage Reputation opens doors. When you're known, you don't pitch. People come to you. Jobs, deals, investments, all inbound when your name means something. Hardest one to build, but even harder to compete with.

7️⃣ Content leverage Build once, earn forever. A course, SEO, SaaS, template, or book generates value infinitely. Long-form YouTube and blog posts really work. Just write a single blog post.
