This book offers some interesting perspectives on ways to "leverage" different aspects of a business for growth, however I feel it is lacking detail and is a fairly surface level and generic book. The book is a little further diminished as it is very self promotional, and spends a lot of time advertising other products from the author.

I would have liked to learn more about how this ex-hedge fund manager was successful and more on financial leverage strategies. I am also always a little weary when people appear to get their success from only promoting self-help type learning.

Overall, it's ok but not really what I was looking for in a book.

For Those Starting Out or Way Behind

It’s a solid book and not quite what I was expecting. I realized quickly that my situation is more on glide path and this is for those that need leverage ideas to get ahead or catch up. I thought it would be more about financial leverage strategies, but it’s a really good broad base book on all types of leverage. Still worth the price and time as it helps me understand where I am on journey - really like the author and his use of leverage / leverage examples in his approach to building wealth.

Outstanding and Essential Manual for Leverage!

This is a must read for everyone, especially if you want to grow your business rapidly on a firm foundation. There are easy to follow steps and an overwhelming amount of additional supplements to get you moving away from exchanging your time for money and towards leveraging finances, networks and systems to create wealth.

Really making me think about how I use my time and how I can think from a 10x perspective. The author does repeat concepts in different paragraphs over and over, though, thus docking a star. I think he could have cut off 50 pages. Kill your darlings...

A good breakdown of the ways people can get away from trading time for money. I found it much more helpful than other popular books on entrepreneurship, like the E-myth. It got me thinking about ways I can create advantages (leverage) in my own business.
