Legacy Building Blocks
LEGACY is what you leave for future generations. The life style you model communicates what type of legacy you will leave your family and the generations that follow. Whether with tangible or intangible gifts, or direct or indirect lessons you will leave a LEGACY.
HOW TO BUILD LEGACY IN YOUR FAMILY
Keep the Design, Build, and Operate Model in mind when building your LEGACY. Positively or negatively, your legacy will provide a springboard for your OFFSPING’s future and generations to come.
Consider these questions and then view the descriptions of the building blocks:
-
What does it mean to leave a LEGACY for your children?
-
What type of LEGACY do you want to leave your family?
-
Are you preparing a platform for your offspring so that they can elevate higher? Or will it be like a bungee cord that always keeps them dependent upon you?
YOUR INFLUENCE on YOUR LEGACY
INFLUENCE—a generalized effect of one person on another
POWER—the ability of a leader to influence others
AUTHORITY—the right of a leader to influence others... (will fade in parenthood)
Consider these questions and then view the types of power:
-
What type(s) of power do you use most to influence your children?
-
Which type of influence power do you desire to have when they are adults?
-
How do you GAIN or LOSE these types of power within your family?
