"How many of you feel like you live your life in triage mode? Taking time to reflect feels like a luxury you can't afford, when in reality it's a requirement you can't afford to do without." – RJon Robins

Welcome inside the vault. This is a collection of previously unreleased lessons from eight-figure entrepreneurial mastermind RJon Robins. And in case you didn't see the warning label, this content can be explicit and is for serious entrepreneurs only.

In this lesson from the April 2024 Live Quarterly Meeting, RJon exposes the urgency trap that keeps law firm owners in constant triage mode.

Key Takeaways:

1. You don't manage people, you lead them
2. Ten extra minutes on an email can save days of back-and-forth; 30 extra minutes  in meetings can prevent multiple follow-ups
3. Not every issue requires the same approach: learn to tilt 60/40 between reflection and action based on what's needed in each situation

This episode provides a framework for escaping urgency traps while maintaining  the speed necessary for success.

"Most people you meet don't take pride in their willingness to do the hard work. They take pride in the hard work. They take pride in being the best hammer swinger around. I'm a great lawyer. I've got a great reputation. Everyone loves me. Everyone refers business to me because of how great I am. Forget that. That's not what builds businesses." - RJon Robins

Welcome inside the vault. This is a collection of previously unreleased lessons from eight-figure entrepreneurial mastermind RJon Robins. And in case you didn't see the warning label, this content can be explicit and is for serious entrepreneurs only.

In this lesson from April 2021, RJon exposes the backwards approach that keeps lawyers broke and desperate. He explains why being "the best lawyer" means nothing if nobody knows about you.

In essence, you're building a marketing machine that keeps working while you're asleep, on vacation, or dealing with family emergencies. 

This episode is for law firm owners ready to reverse what law school taught them: legal work first, getting paid second, then marketing when you have time. Mature and successful entrepreneurs know the priority order is the exact opposite.

"Your ego desperately wants to preserve and defend and justify and stay in that comfort zone, and your full potential requires you to obliterate that comfort zone." – RJon Robins

Welcome inside the vault. This is a collection of previously unreleased lessons from eight-figure entrepreneurial mastermind RJon Robins. And in case you didn't see the warning label, this content can be explicit and is for serious entrepreneurs only.

In this lesson from 2016, RJon explores the battle between ego and potential that keeps law firm owners trapped in the feast-or-famine cycle.

Through his own transformational story, RJon shares the three critical decisions that changed the trajectory of his business and life. 

Key Takeaways:

1. Law firm owners mistakenly approach sales the same way they were taught in law school to get good grades 

2. Making decisions from where you want to be (not where you are now) transforms every choice you make about hiring, marketing, and which clients to accept

3. When you are the sales machine, your entire business depends on your mood, state of mind, and availability, which creates unpredictable results

RJon challenges the fundamental approach most lawyers take toward their clients and their business. This episode offers a mindset shift that provides both the psychological insight and practical framework for breaking free from self-imposed limitations.
