I think legacy is a very egocentric concept. I often hear entrepreneurs saying in their pitches, “I want to leave a legacy.” What does that mean exactly?
Does it mean they want to amass a fortune and hand it down to generations to come in their families? Does it mean having a hospital cancer wing named after them so their name is uttered by thousands of people who never knew them? What do they mean? To be clear, I have no issue at all with the concept of creating generational wealth, but then just call it generational wealth, not legacy.
