Building Beyond Business
Business leaders are positioned to change the world. That’s not motivational hype. Your business is the ideal platform to build a better world.
Many people assume charities, churches, and non-profits are responsible for meeting the needs of the world-but they can only do so much. Your company, on the other hand, has more capacity to meet those needs than you might think. What if you could build a more successful business to build a more successful society?
Go beyond business to transform our world.
Leaving A Legacy
What legacy do you want for your business and your family? Legacy includes more than the amount of wealth we create for generations. It also includes the amount of world-changing good we create in future generations. Legacy doesn’t just depend on the quantity of portfolios and resources we build for future generations. It also depends on the quality of principles and relationships we build into future generations. Lonnie’s engaging presentations and workshops provide practical strategies and real-life examples that will help you create a harmonious, world-changing legacy for generations to come.
