Build something that keeps going if you take a month off. That’s the gap between a job and a legacy.

Anything that halts the moment you halt is a job, however much you care about it. The difference lies in whether the value sits in your daily presence or in something you set up that runs without you: a system, a trained team, a product, a written method. One pays while you work and the other keeps working while you rest.

Take one thing you currently hold in your head and put it somewhere outside you this month. Write the process down, teach it to one person, or automate the smallest piece. Then take a few days off and see what breaks.
