It’s for my generation

So I was watching @garyvee advice to all 20 year olds and part of that conversation he had with @thefabulousjourney he mentioned the Kardashians. They touched on how the mother had created the blueprint so her kids can now easily go into businesses and to some extent be successful.

Then I remember my dad and how he has laid the ground work so that I don’t have to go through some of the hardship he went through. I’ve gotten to a place where I am no longer thinking of just my future but my children and their children’s future. It’s one thing to be successful and rich, but how about creating wealth, a future and a legacy for your generation. Sometimes you see people hate on rich kids or young people who have it easy financially because of their parents. I don’t understand why people hate on them. When I see them I look at their parents and generations before them and I applaud them for creating a better future for their kids. That’s what I want to achieve. So my question now is what are you doing for your generation, what do you plan to leave them with, what lifestyle, culture, knowledge and wisdom are you going to impact in them?
