“And so I sat here and kept saying, ‘What do I want next year to look like for me?’ And I said,
I want to leave a f*cking legacy. Sales don't matter. Money doesn't matter. I want to be the coach that spans generations. I want to be the coach that someone who is in their early 20s and someone who is in their late 70s can relate to. I want to be the coach that literally the day I leave this Earth, people stop and say, ‘Gosh, she was a good f*cking person. She helped transform lives. She helped people around the world.’ That's what I want.”
This week on the Fierce as F*ck Podcast, we’re talking all about leaving a legacy through your business.
Last December, I was kind of in a funk. And I'm not going to lie to you. It made me panic. It made me worry. It made me spin into a big puddle of self-doubt and I found myself laying in my bed, wondering, “What do I want 20/20 to look like in my business? What do I want to become in 2020?”
And then it hit me: I wanted to build a legacy...but my actions were NOT reflecting that goal. I know firsthand how easy it is to get wrapped up in the money and in the sales as a coach. I hate to admit this out loud, but in 2019, I was on the verge of burnout and destroying my business, and I didn't even realize it because I was so focused on hitting my next sales goal.
And for what?
Nothing, really. Because, yes, we all want to be wealthy - including me. But I want people to be talking about me for years because of the work I did, NOT because of the amount of money I made.
And if you can relate to these feelings and you’re thinking about what you want out of next year, I want you to challenge yourself with the hard questions. I want you to get real with yourself and ask:
- Do I want this to be a year where I'm focusing on sales and I'm focusing on money? (Because it can be that year where you literally plot out to the dollar what you make every single month!)
- Or do I want it to be the year where I focus on creating a legacy?
-
- And if so, ask yourself: How do I create a brand?
- How do I become the person that everyone talks about?
- What things do I need to put out so that every single human being who comes into contact with me says, “Holy shit, she has changed my life forever!”?
I know what kind of year I want this next one to be. Do you?
