S-quadrant entrepreneurs must figure out a way to create leverage in their
                business.  For  their  business  to  grow  into  the  B-quadrant,  entrepreneurs
                must leverage their gifts.

                Here are a few examples:


                                  Singers make a record and sell it.
                                  Personal trainers create a new exercise DVD and sell it via

                                  “Infomercials” on television.

                                  Experts  share  their  knowledge  through  podcasts  that  are
                                  free to the public, but sponsored by paying companies.
                                  Programmers create a new application or software program

                                  they license to customers.


                  Your gift is your little thing that makes the world better. It is your job to

                give that gift to as many people as possible. Doing that takes leverage. You
                can’t do it alone. There are only so many hours in the day and the harder
                you work, the more taxes you pay.


                Ask yourself: “How can I leverage my gift to serve more people?”

                2. Become expandable.

                If it works in New York, works in Phoenix, and works in Columbus, it is
                expandable to the world. Donald builds luxury all over the world. Robert
                teaches people about money all over the world. Both men have books that
                sell all over the world. S’s typically have problems expanding. In many
                cases,  the  S  is  a  licensed  professional  like  a  doctor,  lawyer,  real  estate

                agent or massage therapist. These professions, and many others, require a
                license. If they aren’t licensed in another city, state or country, they can’t
                do business there. Should they lose their license for any reason, they are
                out of business entirely. S’s are also limited by their inability to be in two
                places  at  once.  Through  leverage,  a  true  B-quadrant  entrepreneur  can
                expand to go anywhere and work everywhere. Their motto is: “If there is a
                will, there is a way.” Ask yourself: “What must I do to make my business

                expandable worldwide?”
