Legacies can feel daunting to achieve, but when it comes to leaving one, it’s best if you start at the end and work backward. At your funeral, how do you want people to remember you? I know, that’s pretty deep… but once you figure that one out, it boils down to making those words and ideas into a reality.
In this episode, Jeremy and Taylor dive into the ins and outs of leaving behind legacies, and what they want theirs to be. They chat about 3 areas you can leave a legacy behind: financial, spiritual, and emotional, and how to cultivate what you want out of those areas.
What does it mean to “leave a legacy”? Let’s find out!
Welcome to 2022, where we introduce phones, iPads, and screens of every shape and size into our kiddo's lives from the moment they’re old enough to focus their eyes.
Don’t worry, we’re just as guilty of this. It’s so easy to give your kids a screen in order to keep them entertained, but when does it become an actual hindrance to their social development?
If we’re not careful, we’ll use “screen time” as a babysitter and leave our kiddos feeling like they have to stay in a constant state of entertainment. By limiting screen time, we help teach our children how to interact with people in real life, how to dream and use their imaginations, and how to pay attention.
Limits are good, boundaries are good, and kids WANT boundaries. Let’s talk about how to set them, and stick to them.
Everyone has the moment when you hit a wall in your marriage, and something breaks. What you do in response to those moments is pivotal to the health of your marriage.
Let’s think about it as if your marriage is your body. In order to steer clear of sickness, you build up your immune system: you take vitamins, get familiar with your body's normals, and seek help if something is wrong.
The vitamins for your marriage would be communication, understanding, grace, and collaboration among other things. Get familiar with your spouse and how things normally work in your marriage, what is the give/take, and how do you best talk to your partner?
Building a good foundation and practices in your marriage is the key to having a resilient marriage. They don’t happen by accident. Great marriages are formed through pressure, trials, and triumph.
They are steeped in flexibility. Finding the right rhythm for you and your spouse is pertinent to how well you will handle the adversity and ultimately come out stronger.
If you take an elastic band and stretch it to its absolute limit, when you release the band, what happens? It returns to its original state. When your marriage is built on the rock, when trouble and hardship DO come, and they will... your marriage CAN be healed and restored back to its original state.
Let's dive in!
A marriage and business mullet, if you will.
Starting and running a business can be challenging, but add in a spouse + kids, and there are different hurdles to jump over on the way to an entrepreneurial lifestyle.
Questions begin forming:
Can I even start a business?
Can I keep my spouse as involved as they want to be?
Is this glorifying God’s calling on my life?
Am I prioritizing my business or my marriage and family?
Sure, being your own boss and making your own schedule is the dream of many, but most don't realize how hard entrepreneurship really is. Unfortunately, there is a lot more to it than just the independence it may bring.
In this episode, Taylor talks with Jeremy about his own journey, what he wished he knew, and the boundaries he has placed in his businesses to honor his wife.
