Legacies help us with our goals after we’ve passed because they have the power to inspire action and the give our ideals an chance to live on through others. Given the magical potential of legacies, we wanted to support and foster conversations around legacy building and below you’ll find some of those conversations.

Audrey Harris

I want to be remember for bringing light into a room, and making people feel comfortable. I want to be known for working unto the Lord, and not just for profit or networking. Read more>>

Danielle Winters

I am hoping to build a legacy that inspires others towards connection, community, support, awareness of their energy, love and kindness. I hope that people will say after I am gone that I was joyful, fun, inspiring, supportive and loving. Read more>>

Colleen Taylor

I believe by now, after decades of experience, my legacy has been pretty much built. I’m not stating that I’ve completed everything that I had hoped for but I am still continuing with fresh new ideas and designs. Read more>>

Jody McBeath

I would love to build a legacy of love. I would hope that people would say after I was gone that I was a hopeless romantic who fell in love with chasing fairytales. The never ending quest for “happily ever after” like some fictional character in a fable. Read more>>

Emily Willson-Quayle

Legacy is a word I struggle with. It makes me feel like I have the weight of the world on my shoulders that I have to live up to; like an emperor hoping to leave their mark on the world before it’s too late. Read more>>

Esther Schultz

I read recently in Marie Forleo’s book ‘Everything is Figureoutable’ a term she uses called, Multipassionate Entrepreneur and this resonated with me as this encompasses what I am trying to build in all facets of my work. Read more>>

Emily Bissen

The moment I decided to start Blue Heron Business Partners was a bit like standing at the edge of a high dive, looking down into the unknown. I had just left the corporate world behind and was in the middle of packing up our lives in Wisconsin for a big move to Washington. Read more>>

Morgan O’Donnell

I want to be remembered as someone who was like an extension of the family. Working with any pet is like working with someone’s baby ( but with fur.) I want to be known as a person they trusted so much with their family member. Read more>>

Ivan Wognin

The why behind my business has grown and evolved over the years into a constant north star that guides us in our decisions. In a world of darkness, we want to show light; specifically the Light of Jesus as we love well and run business. Read more>>

Valerie Fields

I hope my legacy will be a tribute to the power of faith, perseverance, and commitment to doing the right things for the right reasons. I want the work I do to encourage others on a similar path – and to inspire them to believe that success is within their reach. Read more>>

Ashley Holmes

This is so funny, because my husband and I were just discussing this while brushing our teeth this morning. Read more>>

Kristina Adam

What a beautiful question to think about, one that inspires intention and a deeper purpose for the path ahead. While my journey has been incredibly non-linear and instead unfolded organically with a variety of twists and turns along the way, the legacy I am currently aspiring to build is centered on nurturing a softer, slower way of life, inspiring a deeper connection with the earth and the feminine essence.

Dr. Ms. Jones

Legacy means the long-lasting impact of a person’s life. My grandmother left a legacy of service. She built the 1st African-American church that was built from the ground up in my hometown of Newburgh, NY. Read more>>

Kathalin Carvalho

The first step is to serve in ways that bring me joy. I practice active listening to better understand the needs of the community I’m part of. Read more>>
