In this week's episode Lance Welch and I dive deep into this topic, as well as many other legacy planning misconceptions.  Lance is a Certified Business Development Coach as well as a Certified Behavioral Consultant for DISC Personality Profiles.  He was also a Sales and Leadership Director and oversaw over 3,000 reps in 14 states for a Fortune 100 company prior to stepping out on his own in late 2018.  He now has a book out, The Legacy Navigator, that we dive into because not many think about planning for when they die, but it’s very critical piece that most miss. We also discuss: 1. Legacy Plan Versus Will  2. Define Legacy Plan   3. Steps to take for legacy planning  4. Common themes across successful families  5. Silver sword v gold sword  6.
