Hey lawyers! I have been trying to work with a realtor over the past couple of weeks, and it has been incredibly frustrating! The layers of unprofessionalism (Is that a word? – I wouldn’t know – #humblebrag) are astounding! However, this realtor has taught me some important lessons that I would love to share with you all. Sometimes learning what not to do is just as valuable as learning what to do. Check out this video to learn what not to do in order to avoid losing clients!

Hey lawyers! Most of us have an initial consultation that we do with a prospective client before taking him or her on board. I call my initial consultation with my prospective attorney-clients a “strategy session,” but it’s likely the same idea as the initial consultation that you have with your law practice. I consider this process of the initial consultation an “art” and something to be studied, practiced, and improved upon. Before I do a strategy session with a potential attorney-client, I always study and practice. I have picked up a few tips and techniques throughout my studies that I think could help you to improve your initial consultation, take on more clients, and ultimately increase your earnings.

Hey lawyers! If you are like me, you are a mega-go-getting-attorney! You have to be driven to, not just practice law, but also run your own business at the same time.

If you’re like me, you frequently find yourself thinking, “oh, I’ll just do this easy task real quick.” I have been a victim to this thought many times, and before I know it, my entire day has gone by “real quick.” Check out the following video to learn how you can accomplish more by doing less!

Hi lawyers! As you know, I’m fairly active on social media as a member of many groups of lawyers. I recently came across a lawyer who was lamenting a colleague of hers who was throwing shade her way. The colleague was majorly hating on this lawyer and her law practice. In my opinion, that’s not cool of the colleague. It’s not easy being an awesome lawyer and business owner (like you are). We would be better off supporting one another. However, I started to think. Having “haters” is actually pretty cool. Anyone who has “made it” in any type of industry has mad haters. (I’m trying to find some for myself!) Check out this video to learn how to benefit from having haters!

I think he’s on to something and there are some strategies that we can learn from and apply as lawyers and business owners. Check out the following video to learn why you should be “the best lawyer alive!”
