What About Your Legacy?

ByMatthew

Please think about your legacy, because you’re writing it every day. – Gary Vaynerchuk

Being pro-active about your legacy is good in two important ways: it shows you understand how it actually works and consciously creating it and you get to feel good about your (good) legacy, in advance.
