What it means to be "stuck"

Why Do You Suppose so many lawyers are in all these videos I keep sharing and why do you suppose they're all saying it's been such an invaluable experience for them when they decided to plant a tree today so they can enjoy a life in the shade not a life being stuck? (Rhetorical question, obviously)
...sooner or later you sleep in your own space.

What are the inevitable consequences of your current growth trajectory?
Hopefully the inevitable consequences are that you're going to be doing GREAT! If that's you I would encourage you to investigate our "Find Your Freedom" coaching program, or even our "Play A Bigger Game" group may be just what you've been looking for.
You can't handle the truth...
Yes my friends, the time is approaching when you're going to have to choose a side...
I'm writing this to you at 36,000 feet jamming out to Led Zeplin IV "Going To California". It's being streamed to me on Pandora via Go-Go-Inflight into my Bose noise-cancelling headphones. We're aboard American Airlines flight 271 enroute to Los Angeles. It's quite surreal. The stewardess just offered us chocolate ice cream.
I'm headed to L.A. with Ale passed-out and in a nearly-fully-recliend position in the window seat beside me.
We're headed West for a meeting with MY OWN COACH.
And in my ongoing effort to assure you that THERE IS PLENTY OF MONEY OUT THERE I'm reporting that yet-again, first class is sold out.
That's 14 seats plus mine & Ale reclined next to me.
I so sincerely wish for each and every one of you, even if we've never met, that you could participate or even just observe a Mastermind with me and come to fully appreciate that it really is your choice whether not you choose to continue participating in the "recession".
My "No Assholes" Policy Is There To Protect You AND Me...
NOTE FROM RJON: I originally shared this lesson only on our private discussion forum.
Then some of our Members encouraged me to share it with a wider audience - our Members are a very generous group!
And then some of the things I received in emails and in responses told me I'd really struck an important and positive chord. With several "You MUST Share This With The World!" type of admonitions.
So here it is. Remember, there's SO MUCH business out there that we can and should all be happy lawyers who make more money!
I hope the below lesson gives you some important things to think about over the weekend. Maybe even the courage to take action on something today!

Notes from my wallet
Ok so you know how every few months you have to clean out your wallet and you find all sorts of things you've been carrying around with you for no currently-relevant reason? Old business cards belonging to people you meant to follow-up with but have now forgotten why. Old receipts for things long-since disposed of. I even found an expired credit card on my most recent jaunt though mine!
But every once in awhile you find a gem. In my case, this week I found a note I wrote on the back of a restaurant receipt. It captures one of those "moments of brilliance" that seem to happen at the least expected times. Hence, why it gets jotted down on some scrap of paper and warehoused in your wallet waiting to be rediscovered. Here's exactly what I wrote (unedited):
A lawyer's guide to getting "un-stuck"
As lawyers we're all pretty smart. But as a group we tend to have a hard time making decisons. Of course a big part of running any kind of a successful business (a law firm is a business) mastering the ability to make decisions. The problem is, our education ham-strings us when it comes to making decisions.
Is your staff screwing up your business?
I met two amazingly helfpful sales people today. But one almost blew the sale for his employer, while the other succesfully converted a customer into a client for life! Here's how...
The art of starting, marketing & managing a successful law firm
I want to encourage you to think about what your law firm really stands for? What do YOU really stand for? Are the two in synch?

It's not a coincidence that throughout history from biblical times and today, the most successful human beings on the planet have all drawn power from the "master-mind".
Dangerous daydreams
Dangerous Daydreams For Lawyers
Do you daydream about the sort of law practice you want to have "someday"?
Or howabout the kind of life/lifestyle you want to enjoy "someday"?
For the time being let's set-aside the fact that the lifestyle is driven by the law firm and please allow me to warn you about a dangerous mode of thinking I hear too many lawyers talking about, far too often.
