Creating A Legacy: A Guide to Leaving a Lasting Impression

Warren Buffett made a load of money. Now he’s giving away more than anyone has ever given away. He focused on being great at something he was passionate about before he thought about helping others. His impact will be massive, and long-lasting as a result. Something to think about.

Life is short. But very few of us ever live in a way that shows an understanding of this fact, or the fact that we are gong to die sometime in the relatively near future.

Instead, we act like we have all the time in the world, and it shows in our priorities and what we do on a daily basis. Then you talk about someone in their 70′s or 80′s and they think about their Legacy. They speak with a sense of urgency about what their life will mean after they’re gone. Their decisions show this. Our decisions don’t.

Why did I do what I did today?

We spend so much of our lives doing what’s expected of us. We spend so little time thinking about our Legacy and what our life will mean after we’re gone. Our days lack passion, excitement, and purpose. But there are also very simple ways to cure this, and that’s what we’re going to discuss in this article. Read the rest of this entry »

Bucket List: Springsteen, Esquire and Golf

I’m back with 3 new additions to my bucket list. I’m currently writing the 7th chapter of an ebook that will be ready for you guys sometime in October. The chapter I’m working on right now is focused around what it takes to be successful, one aspect is having clear goals and the work ethic to make them a reality.

That’s what each of the things on this list are to me, they’re goals; not pipe dreams that would be nice to accomplish or experience before I take a dirt nap, the eternal sleep, kick the bucket, or whatever you want to call it. If there’s something you want to do in this life, why not seriously try and make it happen?

Dreams are useless if there’s no action taken.

The Bucket List: Hollywood, Lambo’s, and Family

14. Be in a Hollywood movie.

I mean a real legit movie. Not a small budget one that no one’ll ever see, but a movie that I’d actually enjoy or go to see. I’m really in no position to be picky, I’ve never even been an extra or had any kind of role in a TV show let alone a movie, but why not dream big?

15. Drive a Lambo.

… On a race track …

You know, somewhere I’m not bound by the legal speed limits

16. Be a guest on the Jimmy Kimmel show.

Jimmy’s show is my favorite in the late night line-up. He’s a funny man and he’s got some pretty funny people around him. I’d love to meet uncle Frank, Guillermo, and cousin Sal as well.

17. Live in my dream house.

My idea of a dream house has changed about 100 times in the last few years, but when I have a family, I’d love to be able to get the house of my dreams, with the woman of my dreams; whether that be building our own or buying one that’s already pretty much perfect, it would be an amazing feeling.

Bucket List: fine wine-ing and family wishes

(cigar in-hand. no 12 on the list)

It’s coming to the end of the month and I figured it’s about time for a few new things to add to my bucket list: the list of things I want to accomplish before I take my dirt nap. Read the rest of this entry »
