If You Want the Results, You Have to Do the Work

You know the saying, “You reap what you sow,” is more than just a cliche. It’s actually very true. Ask any coach, entrepreneur, CEO, athlete, entertainer, or anyone who has reached any level of success, and they will tell you. You get out of life what you put in. And if you want to create a lifestyle of wealth and freedom, a true Legacy lifestyle, you are going to have to put in the work.

There is no such thing as an overnight success. Anyone who has risen to the top of their industry spent, most likely years, climbing to get there. They have spent countless hours and thousands of dollars learning their craft, getting an education, acquiring certifications or degrees, to become the person they had to be to achieve that level of success. They have put in the long hours and the late nights to build a foundation for the lifestyle they desire.

People who are successful are not any luckier than people who are not successful. Luck is simply when preparation meets opportunity, as the old saying goes. Before you proclaim that someone is lucky, or you wish you had the success that someone else has, do your homework. Figure out all the hours they spent learning their craft or mastering their skills before they “made” it. Then, do that. If you are willing to do the work, every day you, too, will eventually be “lucky.”

Having the life you desire. Living your Legacy now is entirely possible. You just have to be willing to do the work, first.
