This week on the show we have Nick Oritz, owner of Ortiz Law Firm, based out of Pensacola, Florida. Nick represents policyholders in individual disability, group disability, and ERISA long-term disability claims.

In today’s episode we’ll talk about ultimate goals, struggles with managing employees and marketing.

Hacking’s Hack:

Here’s a hack to make more connections. I take a photo of myself with the books that I order and tweet it out with references to the authors Twitter account. When I received Duct Tape Marketing and tweeted it, the author John Jantsch liked it and retweeted it.

Tyson’s Tip:

If you’ve been wanting to learn another language, check out the Duolingo app, it’s free! The app feels more like a game because it gives you points and challenges you. If you like to play games on your phone it might motivate you to learn a new language.

Nick’s Tip:

Don’t give up just because something doesn’t seem to be working. Too many lawyers try something once and say, “Oh, that doesn’t work”. Sometimes it requires refinement and tweaking.

In today’s episode, we’ll talk about transitioning a business model, building a lifestyle firm, and how to use the success of other businesses to grow your firm.

 https://www.coloradoestateplanning.net/about-us/

Hacking’s Hack:

Write down your list of excuses, and then burn that piece of paper.  But before you do, on another page write the opposite of your excuses.  These will be your life marching orders for 2020.

Tyson’s Tip:

Save the coupons you receive from vendors, then buy in bulk to save thousands of dollars. Bonus: Download the free Honey Chrome extension to save a ton of money: joinhoney.com/ref/pd5q2ge

As coupons come in from the vendors you use on a regular basis save them and then use them on bulk purchases to save the most money!

Alexis’s Tip:

Do what you feel is right. Don’t conform yourself to what the practice of law says that you should do.

Hacking’s Hack:

We’ve been working with Anneke Godlewski to make a physical newsletter and our firm and its been absolutely painless. You can reach out to her in the Maximum Lawyer FB group or at https://themarketink.com/

Tyson’s Tip: 

Renegotiate your bills and fees with your vendors. I saved $1500 for the year just this morning.

Erin’s Expertise:

If you have any financial information that you need to get to an outride vendor or family member, use https://onetimesecret.com/ which allows you to temporarily share password information.

We’ll discuss joining the legal field from an unconventional background, the challenges of communicating with clients in difficult life situations, marketing to upmarket clients, how FirmFlex has helped his social media strategy, and how to handle the intake process in a smaller-sized practice.

Hacking’s Hack:

Check out the Google Chrome Extension “Facebook Timeline Eradicator”-it replaces your news feed with an inspirational quote so that you can check your notifications without getting sucked into the news feed scroll.

Tyson’s Tip:

We threw a costume contest on Facebook and had a ton of interaction and feedback. Try to throw relative

Robert’s Recommendation:

Shoot some video this week. Take your phone and shoot a 60-second video on the problem that you solved that day.

Happy Halloween!

This week on the show we’ll discuss the 10 scariest mistakes we see lawyers make:

1. Not delegating things you don’t need to be doing
2. The amount that solo and small firms are making
3. Not doing video marketing
4. Not systemizing your firm's processes
5. Not prioritizing intake
6. Not using automation
7. Negative self-talk
8. Not taking law practice management courses
9. Being afraid to take action
10. Overspending

Hacking’s Hack:

Lawyers should keep a spreadsheet of when all of their software renewals are so that you don’t keep getting billed for software you are not using.

Tyson’s Tip:

Go build one Zapier Zap. It’s the gateway software into automizing your firm.
