The pattern. . .

/
If you're seeing a pattern in your law firm of prospective clients who don't hire you even though where they are now is bad, even though they have no way to make things better on their own and even though they acknowledge that things are likely to get worse not better without your help...

Simple Strategic Planning

/
Simple but devastatingly-effective strategic planning for solo & small law firms. If you take your success at all seriously, you really owe it to yourself to watch these four videos in one sitting so you "get it". Otherwise you'll very likely watch the first one but forget to come back to see the rest. Note: I shot these videos back in 2009. I have since learned alot and I have made some important refinements to this process but the basic approach has not changed.

Thoughts on Staffing a Successful Law Firm

/
There are several different business models for building a successful law firm. Most of them require some level of legal staff be hired, trained, managed motivated and measured for productivity & profitability. To say "well I just won't have staff" is like saying you're going to lock yourself in a jail cell and then throw the key through the bars to where you cannot reach it. Even if you change your mind. Having great staff can be a blessing. Having less-than-great staff can be a torture.

"We can evade reality, but we cannot evade the consequences of evading reality" - Ayn Rand 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".

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! ~ RR
