  • #39 | my law firm office space experience

    Just like everything when it comes to starting a law firm (or any other business for that matter) choosing office space as some strategic components to it.

    And in this episode of the unconventional attorney podcast I take you through my entire law firm office experience, from working at home, to renting an office from another law firm, to executive spaces, to my thoughts on Regus and WeWork, to renting a full on space just for your business.

    If you have been thinking about upgrading, downgrading, or just switching law firm office locations, this episode is a must listen.

    Cheers.

  • #38 | no one is coming to steal your ideas

    Scarcity mindset: the belief that there are finite and limited resources and giving anyone anything is at the sole expense of what you will receive.

    Scarcity mindset = one of the biggest things holding people back from reaching their potential.

    If you are starting a law firm or you own a law firm and you're worried about the competition you've GOT IT ALL WRONG. You are your biggest competition. Everyone else is a distraction.

    Why? Three reasons.

    First, there's a big enough pie for everyone to eat as much as they want.

    Second, most people aren't going to actually do anything once you tell them how much work it takes.

    And third, they can't replicate you.

    Now go kill it.

    Cheers,

    Chris

  • #36 | unconventional networking... an idea

    If you know anything about me you know I hate networking. And when I talk about networking I'm talking about it in the most raw way possible.

    Going to a lunch full of other business owners and saying hello and making small talk all the while hoping the other person sends you business.

    Reaching out to people randomly and having coffee hoping they are cool.

    It's just not that much fun for me.

    So I've been trying to come up with some ways that actually ARE fun for me, that can create real connection, and that are even entertaining to other people (icing on the cake).

    Here's my idea. Let me know what you think.

    Cheers,

  • #35 | ditch SMART goals and use this to get real results

    This is my favorite time of the year as a law firm owner. The 3rd quarter is ending, which means there's another opportunity to reset your goals and get out there taking care of business.

    EXCEPT, there's something different this time.

    I'm not setting my law firm goals like I used to. No longer am I following the usual goal setting method of picking an arbitrary number out of the air and backing into it.

    Nope. This time I'm doing something different. I'm doing something that actually MATTERS to me.

    And in this episode of the show I'm telling you how you can do it too.

    Cheers.

  • #34 | how to pay yourself and not freak out

    Running a law firm, if you it right, will generate a lot of cash for you. A problem I see from many law firm owners, though, is that even though the firm is doing well and bringing in money, the owner isn't getting paid.

    Today I share my strategies for making sure you, the law firm owner, get paid for starting a law firm instead of sacrificing for everyone around you.

    I talk about Parkinson's law as it relates to law firm expenses.

    I talk about a simple strategy for increasing your pay without feeling the sting.

    And I talk about EXACTLY what I did when I started my estate planning firm.

    Enjoy!
