What
Is Your Legacy? by: Karyn Greenstreet
During a recent speech, I told the
audience that my mission was to empower the self-employed to succeed. Instantly
a hand shot up in the audience. “What’s your definition of success?” I
smiled to myself -- I love it when they ask this question!
There are as many definitions of
success as there are self employed people. Success could be “hitting my
financial goals,” or “becoming a nationally-known speaker.” But I challenge
you to add one more component to your definition of success: What will
you leave behind as your lasting legacy?
Every single one of us leaves a legacy.
Your very existence has an impact on the world whether you intend it or
not. So, how do you want to be remembered?
Ask yourself, “If I died today ...”
-
What would I want people to say about
me?
-
How have I helped other people?
-
Have I done my best, given my all?
-
Did my life have meaning and purpose?
Working towards a legacy in both your
business and personal life keeps you motivated and performing at your peak.
It gives a higher purpose to your life and work. Your work has an edge
and energy because you’re no longer just “doing work,” you’re building
a legacy. Above all, it helps you share the fullest of what you are. And
that’s what I call Success!
