Tips#3 is looking for leverage to escape from rat race.Are you wondering whether you are currently caught in the rat race? Then, ask yourself this question: on who's efforts do you currently get paid?

However, after a short conversation, she soon realized that if she took the rest of the year off she would soon be unemployed and as such she had little leverage from her current job.
A major step to getting out of the rat race is to look for an opportunity to gain massive leverage through the multiplying effect of lots of peoples efforts combining with our own ones!
Today, more and more leveraged tools are being created such as computers, internet, wireless and many more to help us generate more with less. If we want to keep up with the rich and escape from the rat race, we need to understand the power of leverage and use the leveraged tools that the rich are using.
