# Leverage
Leverage is the ability to create more useful outcome per unit of scarce input.
## Meaning
In the [[Hormozi Meaning Guide]], leverage can come through people, media, code, capital, systems, brand, process, and better decisions.
Leverage connects [[Constraint]] and [[Scaling]].
It asks what scarce input is limiting the business and what structure could multiply the output without simply demanding more effort.
For Joe's Mynd, leverage should serve [[Aligned Action]], not avoidance.
