Below are ten core principles to confidently generate clients and grow a law practice you love...
 
Though it really comes down to one.
 
People often say love conquers all...but as powerful as love is, it’s not even that...
 
It’s Courage
 
Because even love requires the highest courage - to be vulnerable enough with another human being to let them see into your soul…
 
Everything of substance in life requires courage in a big way! 
 
So how do you get courageous to generate clients for you and your law firm with confidence? Here are 10 ways...
 
#1 Identify the essential building blocks for success. The world is made of atoms, the law is made of principles, everything, including building your client base, can be broken down into its component parts.
 
#2 Then identify the weakest link in the chain. You should often put your highest efforts here to get the most significant change to the whole. Example - If you can’t generate leads, even the best lawyers will flounder. 
 
#3 Have a method to generate prospects to fill your calendar each week. Otherwise, it’s like going fishing without a rod, hoping someone gives you their catch...or a fish will jump into your bucket...You will not feel confident!
 
#4 Learn marketing and business development for yourself, so you don’t have to rely on anyone or an agency that hides the ball and charges a fortune. 
 
#5 Find the most "frictionless" methods that take less time and create more ROI. LinkedIn and social media platforms are great, BUT can be absorbing, demand spinning your wheels and achieve results that are not scalable to high levels if you're not careful.

#6 Learn mental focus. It is required to go for and achieve the success you desire with authenticity and confidence. 
 
#7 Remember that though you’re seasoned, you are always “becoming”... Don’t waste a day regretting the past. Only use the present because that’s what makes the future. 
 
#8 Remember that the anxieties about growth are a natural part of living and our work here is to “cure” them and, in so doing, get the real growth we desire.
 
#9 A fear of failure will rob you of going for your goals and even the joy when you achieve them....wipe away negativity to find what’s real...when you see through your fears, nothing can deceive you.  
 
#10 If someone or something is wearing you down mentally, the only way to deal with it is through it...if we ignore it, it just gets bigger. 
 
If you desire confidence in any of these areas or simply feel you’re missing out on your opportunity for growth in law, send me an email, and we’ll chat. 
 
Life is too short to live anything but your highest truth! Live courageously!
