Your money relationship determines the pace at which you can grow.

It's impossible to overstate the importance of intentional mindset when growing your law firm.

The state of our emotions determines our capabilities.

And our mindset determines the state of our emotions.

So when I help lawyers make decisions about their plan to grow their law firm growths, the biggest obstacle to making better decisions and implementing those better decisions isn’t time or money or ability to take action – because the people I work with are action-takers.

Their biggest obstacle is always mindset.

In this episode, I’m going to give you the most common mindset obstacles I see, give you what you need to know to see if these mindset obstacles are impacting your practice, and I’ll give you solutions to these obstacles.

You’ll learn:

✅ three common mindset mistakes that prevent law firm owners from making a plan to grow their practice

✅ the solutions to these mindset mistakes

✅ And if you're ready for more, I'm going to tell you about my new course “Precision Planning for Law Firm Growth: Your Step-by-Step Process to Create Your Most Profitable and Peaceful Year in the Law Yet”

Listen in to begin making the shifts you need in your mindset to grow your practice.

You know how to plan and follow through.

But do you know how to create a container for yourself where you can be focused and secure that you will stay focused throughout your week?

In today's Be a Better Lawyer, you'll learn 6 strategies that will uplevel your ability to perform even when you're having your most challenging weeks.

These are tried-and-true strategies I used as a criminal prosecutor and my clients use when they're in trial to stay focused on their goal and balance the other plates they're spinning.

Today we’re going to smooth some rough edges causing you to waste time and money in your practice.

It's hard to see these areas on our own for four reasons:

Ignorance. You just don’t know what you don’t know. There’s no way to change something you haven’t even thought about changing.

Inertia. If you’ve been practicing any length of time, you’ve had mentors or someone who told you how to do things. And then you just kept doing them.

Isolation. You haven’t had exposure to new ideas or you haven’t had someone to talk through different areas of your practice, so you don’t even see there’s an issue.

Impulse. Maybe you try something new, and it works at first, but at the first sign of it not “working” you give up and go back to the old system. You really haven’t given the new way a chance or evaluated how it could be altered to make it work. Your first impulse is just to go back to the old habit.

So today I want to partner with you to shine a light on areas maybe you haven’t looked at before.

There are an infinite amount of areas we could talk about, but I’ve chosen three areas for today’s episode.

1. How you track and follow up on leads
2. Potential areas of your practice you can consolidate to save time and become more profitable
3. How to move cases along faster in your practice

As we go along, I give you questions to ask yourself in your own practice, so even if your issues aren’t exactly like the ones I’m sharing in this episode, you can ask yourself how you can use this information to help you streamline your own practice.

Listen in to start smoothing those rough edges, getting your time back, and making your firm more profitable than ever before.

Releasing past history is a requirement for leveling up our lives.

All of us have old decisions and old ways of being that follow us around and weigh us down like rocks in a backpack.

But did you know you can learn to release the rocks, so you can go to the next level in your life?

It’s all about choice and awareness of what created the rocks in the first place.

Be prepared to feel lighter and level-up your life in this episode of Be a Better Lawyer.

Do you worry about what your clients think of you?

Even if you think, “Not really,” what you’ll learn today about what your brain thinks about them may surprise you.

In this episode of Be a Better Lawyer, you’ll learn how your brain’s thoughts about your clients could be negatively impacting how much money you make in your practice and how you feel every day.

You’ll also learn what to do about it.

"Think happy thoughts."

"Eliminate the negative and accentuate the positive."

"Have a stiff upper lip."

Society has told us that to feel bad is to be bad.

That we need to be "more positive."

What if that wasn't the way at all?

What if we just need better tools to navigate negative emotions?

In this episode you'll learn:

✅ what positivity is (and is NOT)

✅ what neuroplasticity is and what it means about your ability to change

✅ 3 steps to navigate work-related anxiety, stress and overwhelm

You don't need to think "happy thoughts" to feel better.

You just need to know what I'm sharing in this episode of Be a Better Lawyer Podcast.
