Leverage Like a Legend: Using Accountability and Technology to Multiply Your Success

Leverage is the secret sauce behind exponential success. Naval Ravikant teaches that leverage comes in three main forms: labor, capital, and code/media. While labor and capital require permission and resources, code and media offer permissionless leverage — the ability to scale your impact infinitely without needing anyone’s approval.

Accountability is the gateway to leverage. Taking responsibility under your own name builds credibility, attracting capital and labor. This accountability is risky but necessary to access powerful multipliers.

Technology, especially software and media, has democratized leverage like never before. A single line of code or a viral piece of content can reach millions, creating value far beyond traditional labor.

Leverage amplifies your judgment. Improving your decision-making even slightly results in massive returns when combined with leverage. Therefore, sharpening your judgment through clear thinking and mental models is crucial.

Entrepreneurs and creators who master accountability and leverage can transform their efforts from linear to exponential growth.

Embrace technology as your lever, take ownership of your actions, and watch your success multiply.

This mindset is the foundation for thriving in today’s digital economy.
