In this episode of The Ross Simmonds Show, Ross breaks down the powerful concept of leverage — the secret behind how high-performers achieve 10x results without working 10x harder. Ross introduces the four core types of leverage (People, Capital, Code, and Content) and provides actionable insights, mindset shifts, and examples on how to use them to reclaim your time, scale your impact, and accelerate growth. Whether you're an entrepreneur, creator, marketer, or employer, this episode offers a practical framework to help you work smarter and more effectively.
Key Takeaways and Insights:
Leverage Through People
Delegation is key, but do it like a founder, not a manager.
Transfer ownership, not just tasks.
Empower teams by sharing outcomes and allowing room for creativity.
Example: Outsourcing a design task on Fiverr unlocked more value.
Ask yourself: What $5/hour work are you holding onto that’s blocking your $1,000/hour work?
Leverage Through Code
Automation and modern software replace manual workflows.
Today, you don’t need a dev team to build tools—AI can generate scripts and automation for you.
Built internal apps and CRMs with no/low code tools.
Automate tasks through scheduling, reporting, and workflows.
Leverage Through Capital
Every dollar should buy back time or create compounding value.
Use capital to invest, buy access, or convert traffic into sales.
Examples:
Affiliate programs
Investing in dividend stocks or crypto
Ad spend on proven funnels
Leverage Through Content
Content builds trust while you sleep.
It is a scalable, reusable asset—blog posts, podcasts, guides, videos.
"Create once, distribute forever" is the mantra.
Your content is always working—even when you’re not.
