Life Beyond the Briefs

Revisiting Brian's 2025 Vivid Vision Statement


Listen Later

Have you ever wondered what would happen if you wrote down your most ambitious dreams and revisited them two years later? In this eye-opening episode, I pull back the curtain on my "Vivid Vision" exercise—a powerful three-year life design framework that has quite literally transformed both my law practice and personal life.

Walking through my December 2025 vision that I originally created in 2023, I provide a brutally honest assessment of what materialized and what didn't. The revelation? While I missed many of my financial projections (hitting $5 million instead of $8 million in firm revenue), nearly everything that truly matters manifested exactly as written—from creating a self-sustaining practice with outstanding client care to finding our forever home with space for family and an outdoor oasis.

This episode isn't just about my journey; it's a masterclass in intentional life design for lawyers who want to build practices aligned with their deepest values. You'll learn why three years is the perfect planning horizon, how to create your own vivid vision, and why sharing it widely creates powerful accountability. Most importantly, you'll discover that when you focus on designing the life you truly want rather than chasing arbitrary revenue targets, extraordinary things happen.

If you're tired of showing up to a practice that drains rather than fulfills you, this episode offers a proven pathway forward. As I share from my beach house in Italy during a three-week family vacation (yes, that was in my vision too!): "You will be surprised at how much of this shit actually comes true if you just write it down."

Ready to design a practice you genuinely look forward to on Mondays? Listen now, then create your own Vivid Vision. I'd be honored to read it and provide feedback—just leave out the numbers, because as I've learned, they're the least important part of the equation.
