Post-exit entrepreneur and host of The Deep Wealth Podcast Jeffrey Feldberg speaks with Legacy Coach Joe Lander. If you’re an entrepreneur, business owner, or someone who dreams big, this blog post is for you. Learn how to create your legacy today, not just for the future, and why it’s crucial to start now.
Do you ever wonder about your legacy? When you think about leaving a mark on the world, what comes to mind? These are powerful questions that can shift our perspective and transform our lives.
Joe is a dynamic speaker, financial expert, and legacy coach. He has dedicated his life to helping people unlock their potential and live a fulfilling life. Let’s dive into the nuggets of wisdom Joe shared with us.
Who is Joe Lander?
Joe Lander is a man of many talents. He’s gone from being an attorney and a law firm partner to holding influential roles in HR and financial services. His journey doesn’t stop there. Today, Joe is the owner and CEO of “Life You Love Coaching.” His mission? To help mission-driven professionals build a personal legacy that leaves a lasting impact.
Joe’s goal is to guide people who want to break free from limitations. He offers practical solutions to help individuals make meaningful progress. One of his main beliefs is, “True success comes from contributing to a greater cause.”
What got Joe from where he was to where he is today? Joe says, “I was sitting in my office, making calls as a wealth advisor. I was living a nice lifestyle but then I heard a voice in my head asking, ‘Is this it?’” This moment made Joe question everything and seek a more meaningful path. He wanted to move beyond accumulating wealth to creating a life with impact.
Joe Lander’s journey is nothing short of remarkable. He started as an accomplished attorney, then moved on to become a financial planner, managing assets exceeding 50 million dollars. Today, Joe is the visionary owner and CEO of Life You Love Coaching. His mission? To empower mission-driven professionals to craft a personal legacy that makes an impact.
On the podcast, Joe shared, “Driven by the belief that true success comes from contributing to a greater cause, I challenge conventional thinking to help individuals break free from limitations.” This belief is the backbone of his coaching philosophy.
Finding Your Dream
Later that night, Joe found himself around a fire pit with his men’s group. They did an exercise called “Your Dream Life.” Joe shared a vision of bringing people from different cultures together to celebrate their unique qualities. One member challenged Joe, asking if he was going to make his dream a reality or just let it be a fantasy. Joe says, “BAM! It hit me like a ton of bricks.” This moment changed his life. He realized there was more he was meant to do and started taking steps to become a life and legacy coach.
Jeffrey then asked Joe about his time in corporate law and financial planning. Joe noted that many of his clients had unmet dreams. He says, “We’d start with the question, ‘What is your true purpose for money?’ Often, their real dreams and desires were buried under a fear of not having enough.” Joe realized he was more passionate about helping people discover their true selves than just managing their money.
Joe’s message is clear: Don’t wait for “someday” to start living your legacy. Begin now. If you need help figuring out where to start, Joe offers a “Live Your Legacy Strategy Call,” where you can explore your dreams, address any obstacles, and outline actionable steps to move forward.
What is a Legacy Coach?
Jeffrey wanted to dig deeper into what it means to be a legacy coach. Joe explained, “Many people think legacy is something you leave behind. But I help people live their legacy now. It’s about impacting your community and the world in meaningful ways today.” Joe believes that everyone has their own unique mission. He adds, “You’re your own guru. It’s all about looking within and listening to yourself.”
Joe explained that he moved from traditional financial planning to financial and legacy coaching. “What is your true purpose for money?” he asks his clients. This question shifts the focus from simple financial management to a broader view of life’s purpose.
“Many people think they must discover some abstract meaning of life,” Joe noted. He highlights the importance of creating and living your legacy now, rather than worrying about what you’ll leave behind later. This approach helps people live more fully in the present.
Common Mistakes in Legacy Planning
One big mistake people make is waiting too long. Joe warns against thinking that your purpose will just appear one day. He was influenced by Viktor Frankl’s book, “Man’s Search for Meaning,” which notes, “One should not search for an abstract meaning of life. Everyone has a specific mission.” Joe says it’s essential to start pursuing this mission now, rather than waiting until you’re older or have more time.
One key takeaway from our conversation was Joe’s emphasis on living your legacy now. He cited Bronnie Ware, author of “The Top Five Regrets of the Dying,” who found that the top regret was, “I wished I had lived a life truer to myself rather than the one others expected of me.”
Joe also mentioned Viktor Frankl’s work, “Man’s Search for Meaning.” Frankl observed that those who survived the concentration camps the longest had a clear purpose. “One should not search for an abstract meaning of life,” Frankl said. Instead, he emphasized that everyone has a specific mission that demands fulfillment. Joe echoed this sentiment, encouraging listeners to find and live their unique mission now.
The Resolve Framework
Joe has a seven-step framework called “Resolve” that he uses to help people live their legacy now. Here’s a brief overview:
- Reality Check: Understand and acknowledge your current situation and influences from your past.
- Envision: Dream free from others’ expectations.
- Significance: Understand why your dreams are worthwhile.
- Operating System: Identify your unique strengths and resources.
- Limitations: Plan to overcome obstacles.
- Velocity: Create a simple plan to maintain momentum.
- Energize: Ensure you have the resources to keep going.
Feel the Alignment
Jeffrey asked Joe how you’ll feel once you start living your legacy. Joe answered with one word: “Alignment.” He explained that your thoughts, feelings, and actions will all line up with your beliefs. This alignment brings joy and fulfillment.
To illustrate the power of living your legacy, Joe shared a touching story: “A billionaire from India funded medical equipment for disabled children. When he handed the equipment to the kids, one boy grabbed his leg and said, ‘I just wanted to look at your face one more time so I know who to thank in heaven.’” This story captures the profound impact you can have by living your legacy now.
Joe stressed the importance of alignment. He said, “You need to align your thoughts and feelings with your beliefs.” Our beliefs drive our thoughts, which then influence our feelings and actions. By aligning these elements, you can live a life of true fulfillment.
A real-life story Joe shared illustrates this beautifully. He told us about a billionaire who donated medical equipment to disabled children. It wasn’t until he personally handed out the equipment and saw the children’s joy that he felt the true impact of his actions. One child’s words stayed with him: “I just wanted to look at your face one more time. So that when I’m in heaven, I’ll remember who to say thank you to.”
This story highlights the importance of direct, personal involvement in creating your legacy. It’s not just about writing checks; it’s about making a tangible difference in others’ lives.
A Call to Action
Joe challenges everyone to start living their legacy today. He offers a free strategy call to help you get started. Joe says, “Now is the time. Don’t wait until it’s too late. You won’t regret taking action now.”
Final Thoughts
Jeffrey wrapped up the podcast with a thought-provoking question about what advice Joe would give to his younger self. Joe’s response? “Live the life you want, not the one others expect of you. No one’s thinking about you; they’re thinking about themselves. So, go for it!”
Joe Lander’s insights are a powerful reminder of the importance of living our legacy now. By understanding our true purpose for money, addressing our limitations, and aligning our beliefs with our actions, we can create a meaningful impact today.
Joe’s RESOLVE framework provides a practical roadmap for this journey. So, why wait? As Joe rightly put it, “This is the one precious life you have to live. Make it count.”
Remember, your legacy is not just what you leave behind but what you live every day. Embrace your unique mission, and start building your legacy now. The world is waiting for your impact.
