What does it really imply to construct one thing that lasts? As I step again into the function of managing director and writer of SUCCESS® journal, I discover myself reflecting deeply on the legacy all of us depart behind. Over the previous a number of years, whereas serving to develop eXp World Holdings and guiding eXp Realty, I’ve come to understand the ability of experimentation, the braveness to strive new issues and the knowledge gained from setbacks as a lot as accomplishments.
There’s an attract to constructing shortly—to scaling, disrupting and attaining. However the entrepreneurs who finally make the most important mark are those that suppose in a long time, not quarters. They ask themselves: “Am I constructing one thing that may matter lengthy after I’m gone? Am I abandoning a blueprint for others to construct on, or only a identify on a door?”
Legacy isn’t about titles and even income. It’s concerning the depth of your impression, the values you embody and the affect you will have on the folks following behind you. It’s about character in moments of adversity, generosity when it’s inconvenient and staying grounded in your goal when the world pulls you in 100 instructions.
I’ve made my share of errors alongside the way in which. However the fantastic thing about legacy is that it’s not in-built one second; it’s formed throughout hundreds of small selections. A few of these selections compound into techniques, relationships and platforms that may serve others lengthy after we’ve moved on.
That’s what I need for SUCCESS® journal on this subsequent chapter. To be greater than a publication—to be a launchpad. A spot the place tales usually are not simply instructed, however lived out. A spot the place the subsequent era of entrepreneurs can discover not simply inspiration however sensible knowledge, braveness and connection.
As you discover this challenge, I invite you to pause and mirror: What are you constructing? Who’re you constructing it for? And the way will they speak about it 10, 20 and even 50 years from now?
We don’t must be good, however we do must be intentional. Once we construct with goal, anchored in service and imaginative and prescient, we construct one thing that really lasts.
Preserve constructing what issues. Preserve constructing what endures.
