The Journey - The Best Is Saved For Last!

When you think of Dynamite...who do you think of?
 
J.J. from Good Times?
 
Or Alfred Nobel?
 
Nobel was the inventor of dynamite and also the Nobel Peace Prize for which he left the majority of his estate to ensure that he had a positive...
 
Legacy.
  
For you and I, legacy is about what we are doing today that will outlast us...it will inform the generations to come about the past that made their future possible.
 
It is a "pay it forward" mindset.

When Passion, Commitment and Something Worth Fighting For come together, it will take you through the first three stages and mandate you make it better for the next group through legacy.  You can't make the challenges go away but you can blaze a path for them to follow.
 
Like sales.
 
LeRoy as been with Guardian Group the last couple of years mentoring the future sales leaders.  He does it tirelessly and I have witnessed them coming to see him, after hours, "2 by 2" for the words of wisdom he can impart. He never rushes and sometimes takes hours to make sure they can implement the concepts.
 
He treats them all like "powerful champions" and those moments are not forgotten by any of them...


During the recent Guardian Group awards, where he was inducted into the Hall of Fame, two of the highest young achievers recognized him as a major contributing force to their personal success. 
 
He is truly the LeRoy from Sales Crumbs from the Master's Table.
 
Legacy.
 
When he initially told me about his induction into the Hall of Fame, I had the inspiration to commit more of his wisdom to paper... I told him,
 
"It is one thing to have your picture hanging in a corporate museum,
it is quite another to have your words living in someone 100 years from now."
 

Thus, Lunch with LeRoy was written.
 
Legacy.


This is how most of us will leave a legacy.
 
Children...grandchildren...great-grandchildren.
 
College tuition, giving hands away in marriage and a shoulder to cry on at the critical stages of life...
 
Moments and memories that define who we are as people.
 
Legacy.
 
For me, for LeRoy and for you...the Journey Continues...
 
The Best Is Saved For Last!
 

Until tomorrow, I wish you Money, Power, Success! 
P.S.
 
Passion, Commitment and Something Worth Fighting For also remind me of a very special group-
 
Mothers.
 
I no longer have my mother with me physically, but she is here mentally and spiritually...she lives in me.
 
My sense of humor and ability to connect with others - my momma.
 
The ability to bounce back after something crazy happens - my momma.
 
The love of people and a willingness to help anyone - my momma.
 
I am her Legacy.
 
While my dad is a great guy that gets credit for many of my gifts (and my hairline!), my mother was the day-to-day warrior that held it all together.
 
I know the sales mothers out there are pulling triple duty to build a career and a family and while not easy...passion, commitment and something worth fighting for will see you through.
 
Happy Mothers Day to my wife, my moms and all mothers...you are amazing.
