How much thought have you given to this question? To answer it correctly, you need to understand what legacy really means. In simple terms, a legacy is a mark an individual leaves behind after death.

A Legacy Can Be Very Powerful

As we lead our lives we also impact the lives of others. This impact could be good or bad. It is the accumulation of the myriad of impacts that combine to form our legacy.

Whether we realize it or not, we all impact the lives of others during our lifespan. It can be small but meaningful when you give a positive comment to someone you meet. You can also affect someone's life by giving a negative or hurtful comment.

If you have children, just imagine the impact you can have on them. The possibilities of leaving a legacy are huge depending on how you decide to spend your time with them.

When you teach a course, mentor, or coach someone, you are leaving a legacy.

The Role Of Legacy In Affiliate Marketing

We have the opportunity to impact a lot of individuals as we conduct our affiliate marketing business. A relatively small impact is when we help another individual make a buying decision.

A far greater impact can be made when you help someone to change their lives by introducing them to affiliate marketing. Or other money-making ideas. Let's think about who we do impact.

• Customers
• Team Members
• Those we teach
• Our Family
• Our Community

Steve Jobs, for example, has enhanced the lives of millions through Apple. When he started, Steve probably didn't think about his legacy. He wanted to develop technology to enhance the lives of others massively. As a result, Apple became the first 1 TRILLION DOLLAR company, and recently the first 2 TRILLION DOLLAR company!

Quite a legacy don't you think?

Countless others in various fields have also left their mark on this world after death. I'm sure you can think of a few. Please share who you feel resonates with you.

Kyle and Carson, the co-founders of Wealthy Affiliate are in the process of building an amazing legacy by creating an army of successful entrepreneurs.

Within Wealthy Affiliate are innumerable members who help others to succeed and in the process are building their own legacies.

We have the opportunity of leaving an amazing legacy as we build our affiliate marketing business. When thought of in that way, isn't what we do take on a deeper meaning?

It's Really Quite Simple To Do

Find a business niche that is right for you. Then work very hard and consistently, using a system proven to work. The Wealthy Affiliate platform, and everything it has to offer.

Working hard is the easy part. Working hard consistently is tough. It is that consistency that leads to success. Being sporadic is very inefficient and counterproductive. I know as I speak from experience.

As long as I keep writing quality posts, I get quality results. But when I write sporadically, it's as good as not writing at all. Have you experienced this phenomenon?

Simple doesn't mean easy. If something is easy to do, then chances are you are not stretching yourself and will not achieve success.

What Is Your Legacy Going To Be?

Think carefully about this question as you live your life. Not just in conducting your business. But in all aspects of what you do.

I'd love to hear your take on this. Please share.

Cheers!

P.S. I used Grammarly, the free version. In the end, when I did the ABC checker, no changes were necessary.
