Foreword

For years I’ve always said Glenn Lundy is the most underutilized talent in America. I believe with this book, that will no longer be the case.

When Glenn gave me the final draft of The Legacy Titles - 12 Proven Principles to Grow Your Business 800% - A Parable for Success, I was immediately struck by the profound simplicity and universal applicability of its teachings. In my journey as an entrepreneur, author, and motivational speaker, I’ve always emphasized the importance of core values such as gratitude, empathy, and accountability. This book not only resonates with these values, but Glenn has managed to bring them to life through practical, actionable principles.

In the fast-paced world of business and personal development, it’s easy to get lost in the complexities and forget the principles that drive true success and fulfillment. The Legacy Titles serves as a much-needed compass, guiding readers to many fundamentals that are too often overlooked in our quest for achievement and recognition.

Each of the twelve titles in this book is a gem, providing insights that are both timeless and urgently relevant. From embracing the early hours in The Morning 5 to understanding the profound impact of being a servant leader, the principles in this book are universal keys to unlocking not just business success, but a life of meaningful achievement and personal satisfaction.

What I particularly appreciate about this book is its approach to teaching these principles through a parable. Stories have a unique power to engage, inspire, and educate. They resonate on a level that direct advice often can’t reach. By weaving these principles into a narrative, the book not only makes them more relatable but also more memorable.

As someone who has dedicated his life to empowering others to be happier, more successful, and more connected to their own values, I see The Legacy Titles as an invaluable resource. Whether you’re an entrepreneur, a leader, a student, or just someone on a path of personal growth, the wisdom in these pages can help you build a foundation for a life filled with purpose, success, and, most importantly, happiness.

Over the years it’s been incredible working with Glenn and watching him evolve and mature in both the business world, and his personal life. After you read this book, my guess is you’ll be able to do the same.

Remember, the journey to success is not just about what we achieve, but who we become in the process. The Legacy Titles offers a roadmap for both.

— David Meltzer

Prologue

Have you ever stood at the crossroads of ambition and uncertainty, wondering how to turn your grandest dreams into reality? This question haunted me as I embarked on the journey to write a book that could truly elevate the success and productivity of team leaders to levels never imagined.

For years I wasn’t sure I could get this book done. For years I put together outlines, and concepts. I met with literary agents and created multiple rough drafts. I changed the theme, the topic, the title, everything. Dozens of times, if not more. For some reason it just never felt right. The timing was always off. The principles were not quite defined enough. The book seemed practical, but at the same time I wasn’t as excited about it as I thought I should be.

So, I did what I always do when I have nowhere else to turn. I prayed about it, and in prayer I was led to think about the life of Jesus and the way he shared biblical principles through parables, and how those stories he told were so memorable and impactful, that they helped completely reshape the world that we lived in.

I knew in an instant that a parable was exactly what this book needed. I began to write feverishly, and in creating a story about a middle-aged car dealer named Alfred, The Legacy Titles was born.

On the following pages you will find 12 Proven Principles that if applied to your business will allow you to grow 800%. This is not a guess. 800% is not a random number pulled out of thin air. It is an actual mathematical formula that has been proven not only by me personally, but by many of my clients across North America.

Now I know that for some, 800% might seem crazy. Many of you are looking to grow 5%, 15%, maybe even 25%, but 800%? That’s a BIG number. Well, I assure you, continue to read along, and you’ll find that not only has Alfred and his story laid out the path for you, but it’s not as difficult or unachievable as you might think.

There is one caveat though. At risk of sounding cliché, the principles only work if you do. I wish I could tell you there was some magic potion that you could drink, or some But wait there’s more gimmick that you can apply, walk away, and then, miraculously the skies part, the earth cracks open, and the riches and spoils of an 800% life come erupting from some volcano, and rain down from the sky.

But that’s simply not how it works.

The results you desire will not happen overnight; however, they can happen faster than you think. There is a well-known futurist by the name of Ross Dawson that recently was quoted as saying What used to take 2,000 years can now be done in one hundred. Do a little backwards math, and what used to take one hundred years…can now be done in five.

We’ve seen this in action time and time again. Names like Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, and Elon Musk have shot up to become the richest humans on earth in record time. Add in brands like Uber, Facebook, and Carvana and the pattern is seen again, and again, and again. Massive companies that are built in short order, and quickly become household names.

What used to take 2,000 years can now be done in one hundred.

Yes Ross Dawson, I agree sir, and to think he spoke those words BEFORE they released things like ChatGPT and other AI tools that have expanded possibilities even more.

On that note, let’s get into the story. One last thing though, what would life look like for you if you increased your business 800%? 800% more clients. 800% more money. 800% more impact. Don’t glaze over this, really take a moment to think about what that means. 800%.

Would it change your life? Your relationships? Would it affect your health both mentally and physically? Really think about what growing 800% could do for you, and once you have that image solidified in your mind, turn the page, and let your journey to 800% begin.

Chapter 1

The Beginning of a Legacy

"Every New Beginning

Comes from Another Beginnings End."

—Lucius Anneus Seneca

Alfred opened the door to his Midnight Edition Chevy Silverado for the thousandth time, a ritual that marked the beginning of another day in his life as the General Manager at Smith Chevrolet.

The birds greeted him with their melodic chirping as the sun’s rays painted the eastern horizon with hues of orange and pink. There was a peculiar mix of sensations in the air—and a slight chill lingering from the fading summer, intermingled with the warm, stale embrace of the season’s final days.

He climbed into the driver’s seat and started the engine. The low growl of the truck was music to his ears, a familiar soundtrack to his daily commute. A faint cloud of exhaust swirled around his Maryland dealer plate, a symbol of the dealership that had been a part of his family for generations. Alfred’s phone was in hand, and with a tap, he connected to the Bluetooth system. The soothing notes of the Bose stereo filled the cab with sound as he prepared for the 23-minute journey ahead.

It was September 1st, a new day, a new month. August had drawn to a close on a positive note for Smith Chevrolet. They had managed to sell 131 cars, yielding a respectable profit. The entire team was riding a wave of enthusiasm as they embraced autumn. It had been a challenging year in many respects, but their effort had propelled them to fifth position in the zone, a top-30 ranking in their region, and an above-average standing within their Chevy Dealership twenty-group. For a dealership with a 56-year legacy, they were holding their ground, but nothing out of the ordinary.

Alfred shifted his truck into drive, beginning his daily commute past rows of average-sized homes, their driveways filled with an array of different vehicles, each representing a slice of the automotive market. There were Ford Focuses, Kia Sorentos, Nissan Titans, and Toyota Tacomas, all within a few blocks of Alfred’s home. A vivid red Chevy Camaro occupied the corner house, while the cul-de-sac around the corner had a fleet of mid-sized SUVs.

Every automotive brand seemed to have its presence in this neighborhood, and Alfred had no qualms about that. After all, Smith Chevrolet was more than just a Chevrolet dealership; they also sold a wide variety of used cars. What concerned Alfred, however, was the absence of his dealership’s license plate frames
