What’s Changed In The Last 12 Months?
Let me tell you about my last 12 months…I’ll try not to bore you, but this has been an absolute “Turn-Around Year” for me!
12 Months ago I was a frustrated entrepreneur, who was struggling in business, I had lost my passion, and I felt like I was beginning to destroy my Legacy. I was walking around on edge most of the time, and little things that used to just roll like water off a duck’s back, would cause me to react rather harshly.
Don’t get me wrong, I was not pacing around in a fit of rage all of the time, just rather testy, and quick to blame people and circumstances for my current situation. Quite honestly I had a “Stinky attitude”…Zig Ziglar would call it “Stinken Thinken”
Today?…
Today I still have that business that is struggling…But I also have a brand new business and a brand new Attitude, with a Passion and Desire to help other Entrepreneurs who are struggling the way I was. Today through my coaching, and speaking I share a message of hope and inspiration that there is a brighter tomorrow, regardless of how things look today. Today I wake up with a feeling of purpose, knowing my creator has a plan for me, and it’s my responsibility to discover and live it out. I literally have a brand new life…you might say that I’m beginning to “Live My Best Life” and finally being “Intentional about my Legacy”.
So What Really Happened?
As I look back, I can identify 3 distinct reasons for my Turn Around Year”.
- I Drew A Line: I said this is it, something has to change, and I made a “Decision” to change my course. I recognized that I was not living the life I was created to live, I decided it was time to start living a life of real purpose.
- I Invested In Myself: I went through coaching programs, and seminars. I invested in training courses, as well as joining a ToastMasters group. I connected with people who had already achieved great levels of success in helping others reach their potential.
- I Took Action: I actually did something. I stopped just thinking about it, and did it. I launched a brand new company “The Intentional Legacy Group, LLC. I have volunteered to speak this new message of hope. I have offered assistance to other small business owners who are struggling with the same issues I was. I am being Intentional about my Legacy. When it’s all said and done, taking action is what ultimately has impact, and will change the lives of the people you serve.
What A Difference 12 Months Can Make…
Try it for yourself…Draw a line in the sand, and make a decision, choose to change your life, and your world. Invest in yourself, so you are prepared to help others. Then take Action. Step out of your comfort zone, and reach out to serve humanity.
I’ll be the first to tell you that my life is far from perfect, but it is a “Life Of Purpose”. I am on a path towards “Living My Best Life”, and being Intentional about my Legacy… I can’t wait to see what tomorrow has is store!

I would also love to hear your feedback…Thanks, Randell Mark
Randell, great post brother! 12 months is plenty of time to do a complete turn around from living by circumstances. I call it the 180 degree shift. All it takes is having a vision, and being intentional about going after that vision, and that is exactly what you’ve done. Keep spreading truth and greatness!

Randell, first time I’ve read your blog. I not only appreciate what you say, I think our paths are fairly similar.
In just the last two months I have also draw the proverbial line in the sand. I’m tired of dreaming of starting a business and not acting. I’ve always been a firm believer in continuous learning, but I’ve taken specific steps to move me towards my goal of becoming an entrepreneur (joined Free Agent Academy). I’m not very far along in the action area, but I am in the process of starting a blog covering mentoring, something I’ve been passionate about for a while.
Thanks for your insights and allowing us to look in on your journey. Very inspiring.

Ivan,
Great to hear from you…it sounds to me like you’ve already taken at least the first step to action, Congratulations.
Joining FAA is probably the best thing you could do to get going in the right direction.
Make sure you keep us updated on your progress, I can’t wait to see your growth.

Awesome Randell!
I am inspired just reading what you wrote, and can totally relate to what you shared regarding the past 12 months.
Although I don’t have a struggling business to contend with, it was evident to me change was needed in my life. That is why I moved forward to hire my wonderful coach Rob Clinton. Coupled with my “intentional” desire to see new fruit in my life, Rob’s ability to bring out the best in me and his tremendous support, I too am moving to new heights.
Thrilled to see this new venture for you. One of my favorite songs is called “Firework” and it has a couple of lines that seem fitting to share with your post.
You just gotta ignite the light and let it shine
Just own the night like the 4th of July
Keep moving forward…

Thanks Cindy, you are truly an inspiration…thanks for the song lyrics, you are correct they fit right in with this whole theme, of taking action, and live the life we were created to live.
God Bless
Randell
