"Everything you've been told about building
an injury law practice is wrong"

What’s Your Legacy?

When Marcus Lemonis (star of the TV show, “The Profit”) began making serious $, he bought his mother a luxury car and mini-mansion. At first, Marcus’s mother held back her judgment, but after a while blurted out, “I didn’t raise you for this.” Marcus’s mother forced him to sell the car and house. Marcus’s mother raised him for a higher purpose than accumulating expensive toys.

Marcus raises the point, “What are people going to say at your funeral? Did you change their life? At my funeral, I hope they will say, ‘He changed my life.’”

Your job as a business owner is to leave a legacy. I don’t care about the size of it—I care about the impact.

What is the purpose in your life? If you can’t answer that, you should really try to. You can start by writing your own obituary. Writing an obituary will get you on the way to crafting the vision for your life.
