Confessions of a Law Firm Bookkeeper

When you get sick, what do you do? Are you trying to bounce back as quickly as possible? Do you shut it all down? Do you "power" through?"

Cheers.

Many of you, as lawyers and law firm owners, are babies. You can see the flaws in the system. You know the lies people are being told, but you are afraid to voice them.

This episode is all about voicing those flaws, coming clean with your clients and the world, and exposing the bad sides of the practice of law for what they really are.

In exposing those truths, in coming clean, potential clients, clients, and the world will begin to feel a level of trust with you that few attorneys experience.

If you want some examples, on this, including how to do it, listen in!

Cheers.

I thought it would be fun to just dive in and give you some real nuts and bolts strategy for building your law firm today.

So we're going to talk about my five-step process to get more clients right now (and, by the way, into the future, FOREVER).

The process is quite simple. Here it is:

1. Create content consistently.

2. Distribute that content consistently to facebook/youtube/podcast/website.

3. Advertise that content to increase reach and increase impressions.

4. When you have advertising metrics, keep the good content and throw out the bad content.

5. Rinse and repeat FOREVER.

To get the full scoop (and trust me, you want the full scoop) watch the video).

At the end of the day, starting a law firm is not difficult. It's simple, but it's not easy.

You follow that formula, though, and clients will come.

Cheers!

It's 9:07PM on Sunday night and I'm in the office recording this podcast episode.

No, I haven't been here all day. But I'm here now.

Know why? Because it had to get done. I wanted to make sure I released a new episode on Monday, and this was the only way it was going to happen.

That's how success works. That's how commitment works.

You do the thing even when you don't want to or it's not convenient.

And I can hear all the excuses right now. "I don't have time." "Sunday is family time." Blah blah blah.

The fact is either you want certain results and you'll do what you need to to get them or you won't.

So, what's it going to be?

I must have mentioned in an earlier episode that I used asana as my law firm practice management software, and a listener asked me why I moved to that from insightly.

I thought now would be a good time to address that.

First things first, because I am the unconventional attorney, I don't really like to do anything by the book. This includes using law firm practice management software designed specifically for law firms.

I don't bill by the hour (i.e. I to flat fee legal billing) so I don't need all the time keeping stuff.

Anyway, here are a couple of thoughts about the best law firm management platform out there.

1. There is no all encompassing platform. They all fall short because it's impossible to do everything well.

2. I piecemeal my platforms together using zapier.com, connecting asana, google apps, stripe, pandadoc, activecampaign, clickfunnels, acuityscheduling, and maybe a couple others.

If you want all the deets you better listen in!

Last weekend I attended a mastermind with a group that I'm a part of (i.e. I'm not the leader of this group) and the experience was AMAZING!

I wanted to take a couple of minutes to give you the big lessons I learned so you could take them and use them.

Before we get going, though, if you don't know what a mastermind is, it's essentially the idea that two heads are better than one. It was identified by Napoleon Hill and outlined in his book "Think and Grow Rich."

What happens is, 10-15 of us converge on this office space in LA and talk about our businesses: what's working and what isn't... and get feedback from everyone on ideas for improving.

Here are my top 10 (to get in-depth, make sure you watch/listen):

1. It's okay to do one simple thing really really well. 2. Focus is what gets results over anything else. 3. There are many different ways to approach a problem. 4. "yes, but" vs. "yes, and" 5. Doing is always better than thinking. 6. Always be wary of putting cart before horse. 7. You are always making decisions with incomplete data. 8. Reliability vs. risk. 9. Minimum effective dose vs. maximum recoverable volume 10. To a person with a hammer, everything is a nail.

There you go!

It was a fantastic experience and I'd recommend everyone in business consider joining one (and the more you pay the better people you'll usually be associating with...).

Cheers!
