210-“Building” A Legacy

Why visit Italy? Why visit Rome? 
Each year millions of people visit this beautiful destination and put this on their bucket list.  But what makes it so special? It’s because we want to go see what others built thousands of years ago.  

Today it’s the same thing. One day your children and grandchildren want to see what you have built. Not a structure, not a building, not a coliseum, but a business. A legacy, or a dynasty. 

Today we will talk about building wealth and building something that will outlast you. 

It’s time to level up and become the best version of yourself

Have you ever asked yourself why do people want to go to Italy so bad? It is one of the most beautiful places in the world, but there's a lot of beautiful places in the world. But why Italy and why it's the number one destination? It is because people want to go there to see what other people have built over the years. I'm talking about a hundred years ago, two thousand years ago, five hundred years ago. People want to go see something that someone else built. Today we're going to be talking about building a legacy. Building, building, building. I'm telling you, it's one of the things that should motivate you every day that you get up is to wake up and build something. Now, maybe you can't build a Colosseum in Italy, and maybe you can't build the Trevi Fountain in Italy and Rome, and maybe you can't build a Vatican. I mean, there's so many absolutely beautiful places, and I mean, just absolutely beautiful. The Sistine Chapel, and I'm telling you, things that took them hundreds of years to build, and then still sitting there thousands of years later, we're still seeing what the Romans built and the Greeks built and all of these other people have built. Well, it's the same with you. Maybe you can't build a building or a structure, but you can build a business. Your kids, your grandkids are watching everything that you build. There's nothing more discouraging than growing up and realizing that nobody built them anything that will inspire them. My friend, you see, you cannot control outside circumstances. You can't control the economy, you can't control the gas prices, you can't control the politics and what's going on in the world, but you can control what you build. You have to build something, my friend. You have to think about every day, every time you're trying to build something on TikTok, build uh something on Instagram, build something in Amazon, build something, some type of affiliate program. You're building, maybe you're building a coaching program. Maybe you're learning how to speak for the first time and you're building a speaking uh course or something. You are building something, or you should be building something every day. Now, will you win every day? No, you're not going to win every single day, but you should build every single day. Build a legacy, build an empire, build savings and investments for your kids and grandkids, build a business, build a dynasty, build something. Brick by brick, my friend. I'm talking about online bricks. I'm talking about digital bricks. Build an AI course. Build something that your kids, your grandkids will say, you know what? At least Daddy built us something. At least daddy or mommy left us a business. Mommy left us a legacy. Mommy left us an LLC or a corporation. She left us strategies. She left me, you know, listen, the last thing I'll say is this. People can't understand why in the heck are you serious? You're creating these online courses almost every single day on a podcast? Why are you doing so many of these? And I'm gonna tell you why. It's because I decided I am going to leave a library of legacy. That's right. My grandkids and great-grandkids will not say, what was grandpa like? What was grandpa? What did he sound like? What did he look like? They're going to be able to push a button somewhere, maybe in space, and hear me talk on these podcasts. They're going to know everything about personal development, peak performance, self-mastery, business strategies, AI trainings. They're going to learn all the things that I know through this legacy of library that I have built. Why did you write so many books, Coach CJ? So that my kids and grandkids and relatives and people will be able to look back and say, oh my gosh, what a wealth of wisdom. You see, you can build a library, a digital library. You can build through books, through courses, through trainings, through business, man, through everything. Don't you ever, ever, ever, ever give up. Every day, you write down some little small task and say, What can I build today? Can you build a platform? Can you build a membership? Can you build a high-ticket coaching program like me? Can you build wealth? Oh my gosh, that's what they really want. Can you leave behind 50,000, 100,000 in some land where your kids or your grandkids will say, Man, at least mama, grandmama left me something. Grandfather left me something. He left us something besides a tie, something besides a recipe. My friend, you have to leave something. But in order to leave something, you gotta build something. Get the building. Get back to building something great. Have an amazing day, my friends. Got a lot more podcasts still to come.
