Be Audacious about Making Your Opportunities

Feb 27, 2020

No one is going to make your opportunities for you, because no one has as much interest making sure you succeed as you do. So be ambitious. Make your opportunities. And have the audacity to achieve what you set out to do. [This is an excerpt from my new book, Level Up Your Law Practice, which can learn more about here and purchase wherever you like.]

Cope Better with Being Overwhelmed

Feb 20, 2020

A friend of mine owned a home remodeling business in the late 2000s. Although his wife also worked, he was the primary source of income for the family. As happened with millions of others in the Great Recession, his business fell on hard time. He had to start making decisions about which bills to pay for his business. One bill that he let ride a little too long was his workers’ compensation insurance. While it had lapsed, one of his workers got electrocuted and had to be hospitalized. The worker developed some kidney problems, and the hospital stay got longer....

Learning Lessons from Failure

Feb 17, 2020

How can we put ourselves in the best frame of mind to learn from failures? [This is an excerpt from my new book, Level Up Your Law Practice, which can learn more about here and purchase wherever you like.]

Minimize Your Self-Limiting Beliefs

Jan 29, 2020

In their simplest form, self-limiting beliefs are assumptions or perceptions that we have about ourselves and about how the world works. They are “self-limiting” because in some way they are holding us back from achieving what we are capable of. The difficulty with limiting beliefs is that they tend to be sticky. Once we’ve formed a belief — whether political, religious, or about ourselves — we look for more evidence to support the belief and discount evidence to the contrary. While this gives us a foundation for understanding an otherwise complex and confusing world, it also means that beliefs can...

The Importance of Goalsetting for Your Law Practice

Oct 15, 2019

For each of the past three years, I’ve written about the importance of goalsetting. We’ve talked about what goals should look like, in that you need to be setting S.M.A.R.T. goals — Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Results-focused, and Time-bound. And I’ve been transparent with you about how having written goals has been transformative for me in both my law and writing practices. I have not met all the goals I’ve set. Far from it. Maybe I’ve met half of them. But I’m absolutely certain that having the goals, particularly the overly ambitious ones, has projected me further down the path of...

[Appearance] The Importance of Intergenerational Collaboration

Sep 6, 2019

Law firms are often comprised of three generations of personnel. We best serve our clients needs when, rather than assuming generational stereotypes, we use our personal knowledge of each other’s personality types and individual experiences to collaborate on projects and provide feedback. This intergenerational communication is the best way to get the most out of each other and promote an inclusive and thriving culture. You can read more about the importance of communicating across generations in my new article in DRI’s For the Defense, “Encouraging Words: Feedback, Communication, and Intergenerational Collaboration.”

Focus on Processes not Outcomes

Focus on Processes not Outcomes

Jun 11, 2019

My basement was kind of a disaster. Boxes haphazardly strewn about. Tools and equipment that had not been organized in the last 18 months, despite the best of intentions. Kids toys that had been played with and discarded. A pile of things to take to the landfill. So after months of trying not to notice the mess, I picked up and organized the basement. Now I have a tidy basement. But if I just focus on the result that now I have a clean and well-organized basement, I will turn around in a few months to discover it has devolved...

Be Open and Responsive to Feedback

Be Open and Responsive to Feedback

May 14, 2019

A few weeks ago, Curt Runger of Attorney Mentors sent me a text message saying that he had been seeing my posts on LinkedIn and that if I would do one thing differently, LinkedIn’s algorithm would like me better and increase my visibility. I’ve known Curt for a while now and trust that when he tells me something, he knows what he’s talking about. So I implemented the change. Over the past three years, I have never had particularly good results from sharing my blog posts on LinkedIn. Usually about 140 folks see the post on LinkedIn and a few...

Have a Vision for Your Practice so You Don’t Become Extinct

Have a Vision for Your Practice so You Don’t Become Extinct

Apr 23, 2019

I am near-sighted, which is really only useful for tying knots with fishing line or doing anything else that can be done within 18 inches of my face. I didn’t always know I was near-sighted. It wasn’t until I started driving that we discovered it. My mother was riding with me while I had my learner’s permit. She abruptly turned to me and asked, “Why didn’t you stop at that stop sign?” I replied earnestly, “What stop sign?” She didn’t miss a beat before announcing, “We are going to make you an eye appointment.” It wasn’t until I walked out...
