true power is not making things, forcing things, buying things to how you want them to be for a day, an hour, a minute. True power is setting into motions forces that will see your perspective and values endure. Power does not come from forcing people to obey. It comes from within them. They must love and respect you, and willingly do whatever it is neccessary. In fact, they must be capable of using thier own intelligence and will to modify and strengthen your ideas in the service of the greater goal.
