If a life coach described their service as "helping people get leverage on themselves on command" what does that mean? Help me understand it. Please explain it in very simple terms and give an analogy to make it very clear if you can.

When a life coach says they help people "get leverage on themselves on command," it means they help you take control of your own motivation and actions, so you can make progress in life anytime you need to—without waiting for inspiration or external pressure.

Simplified Explanation:

"Leverage on yourself" means finding ways to push yourself to act, even when it feels hard.

"On command" means being able to do this whenever you decide to, not just when you feel like it.

Analogy:

Think of it like a seesaw on a playground. If you sit too close to the middle, it’s hard to move it. But if you sit near the end (where the leverage is), it becomes much easier to lift the other side.

In life, the coach helps you figure out where your "end of the seesaw" is—the tools, thoughts, or habits that make it easier for you to move forward. Then, they teach you how to use that leverage whenever you want, so you’re not stuck waiting for something to "magically happen."

When a life coach talks about "helping people get leverage on themselves on command," they're essentially describing a method to help individuals motivate themselves or change their behavior by using their own desires, fears, or goals as a driving force.

Simple Explanation:

Leverage here means using something important to you to push yourself towards action or change.

On command suggests you can use this method whenever you need to, not just when conditions are favorable.

Analogy: Think of it like this:

Imagine you have a heavy box you need to move, but you're not strong enough to lift it on your own. Now, imagine you have a lever. If you place the lever under the box, you can use it to lift the box with much less effort than if you tried to lift it directly. In this scenario:

The heavy box is like a big life goal or a change you want to make (like quitting smoking, starting a new habit, etc.).

You are the person who knows they need to move the box but feels it's too hard.

The lever represents the leverage you have on yourself. Maybe it's the fear of health consequences, the excitement of achieving something big, or the reward of self-improvement.

By using this "lever" (your internal motivations or consequences), you can move (or change) something that seemed immovable with much less effort because you're not just using muscle (or willpower in this case) but smart strategy.

So, the life coach is teaching you how to find and use your own "levers" in life, helping you to prompt yourself into action whenever you need it.
