Scalable Law Podcast

It is a new year in 10 days! Now is the best time to reset your mind and your actions so that you can come back fresh in the new year! In saying that, let's go through why you need to set goals in the new year.
The Scalable Business Society will give you the step by step method on how to create success. From my exact spreadsheets, to the social media scheduling - I share it all. Start 2021 the best way possible with the Scalable Business Society!
You are missing HUGE opportunities: Setting goals is the biggest factor when it comes to success. It is almost 100% of my business success. Goals are a compass to navigate you to focus and continue fulfilling the action steps that keeps you accountable for your goals. This is not always just a revenue or a turn-over goal, setting SMART goals in your business can range from a new product, team, culture, clients, content, monthly goals - anything!
Goals set your mind in motion and tells the universe what will happen: If you put it out there, you are spreading the intuition that it will happen. Your brain is constantly replaying what you want in your head and the more you drive towards it, the bigger it will become! You attract what you put out. Manifesting Matisse is the most incredible read and goes into depth about this concept.
As you write your goals down, do NOT limit yo'self! In the past, the only regret I had when setting goals is that I would hold myself back as my reality would just come and shut them down - how wrong was I! When you are committing to your goal, you write it down and make it exactly what you want - no holding back!
WHEN YOU WRITE YOUR GOALS...

1. Believe and embrace that whatever your goal is, will happen.
2. You are telling the universe what you want - don't limit yourself
3. If that goal came true, would it be enough? Are you putting limitations in your way?
4. Your goals should scare the sugar out of you!
5. Why not you? You deserve whatever it is that you desire. It is yours for the taking!
6. Put a deadline on that goal. Monthly Goals = Annual Goals.

You can often forget why you started your business in the first place: Often in business, people can be mislead to believe you will make more money and make your dream an instant reality. In this hustle it can be so easy to be bogged down in life and then you end up chasing the wrong bits of business - you forget what you started your business for and what the push behind it was.
Success Culture: When you have team members who are on the journey with you to reach those goals - it is the best thing ever! You will get the best out of your team members, when they are climbing the same mountain as you. You don't have to take all of these steps by yourself, but you do need to lead them up the mountain. Your team will also find the benefit of gelling together and enjoying the company of their team. Accountability will also be reached by having individual KPI. Try setting your team some personal/professional goals.
Clarity during the new year, don't let the year roll by! When you write your goals down, you gain a tunnel vision of what you want! As we move into the next year, you need intention! You don't want the year to roll by, instead you can focus on monthly goals, gained momentum and achieve them!
Create the business of your dreams! You are actually gearing your business towards the life you want to create! Afterall, isn't that why you went into business in the first place? If you do not feel like you are in the drivers seat on your life, it may be all down to intentions! Don't let them slip away from you as this will reign the direction back in to hit your dream business!

Well, it is no secret that 2020 has been an absolute whirlwind of a year, however it is super important to take away the positive learnings with the experiences you have been through as it is unlike any other!
In this BONUS podcast I dive deep into the importance of taking gratitude with every step of your life and just how we can take those learnings and set them as intentions for 2021!
1. Appreciate the simple things! Every. Darn. Day. The smallest things, going to the shopping mall to going on a plane, how our perspectives have changed! Appreciate that we don't have certainty. This isn't something to be concerned about, rather an opportunity to realize how every moment of joy and happiness is a blessing and we are just so lucky every time we feel that.
2. When you have a great team, amazing things can happen! Having a reliable and flexible team has been a major positive appreciation that I have taken on board this year. Having people around you who can be there for you when you need them is just an amazing support system through the good and bad. Having resourceful and resilient people around you will make a massive difference in your life. You need yo tribe!
3. The pandemic has given me an opportunity to reset expectations. This is for my own personal expectations that I have up on myself and of those around me. This down time has made me take space to be grounded has truly made a difference in my life. I have allowed myself to slow down and take space!
4. Leveraging Off Technology In my law practice I have this thing where I have had a false belief that I have needed to be in the office and seeing all of my clients face-to-face yet that has been completely shifted! This year has absolutely made us realise that we can be more flexible, we can get more work done at home and we can also be far more time efficient!
5. Life doesn't need to be in a set-way! Just because it is the way you have always done it, doesn't mean that you should do it like that. This year I have had way more balance, time and I am enjoying things a whole lot more these days! I am not run off my feet!
My intention for 2021: Do Not Loose These Learnings!
1.We can't take the basic things in life for granted anymore! 2020 has proven to be a year with so many lessons some have been very hard to swallow and some have been positively life changing.
2. You can pull together and make this happen when you have an incredible team
3. What are you going to reset in your life? How will you shape your life
I challenge you to focus on one word of how you would like 2021 to look. My one word is JOY! I want to find joy in all of the journey, all of the things no matter how big or small they are as we just don't know

NEW PODDY ALERT! 🤩
Today I talk about a frequently asked question I get that is, how did I scale and what did I change in my biz to do so?
Well, today I share with you exactly how I did scale and the 3 big mistakes I made that kept me from scaling my business! Oh and by the way, I see these mistakes being made frequently - so listen up as you might just be who I am talking about!
However, before I get started I want to quickly tell you about the Scalable Business society which will ensure that you are step-by-step guided through all of the waves in your business, and ensure you get out on top. I take all of my knowledge in my 20 years of business and show you the do's and don'ts which led me o now running a 7-figure law firm on the Gold Coast and in Brisbane.
If you would like to scale your business, by working less and spending more time working on your business rather than in it, then come on over to the Scalable Business Society! Anyway, back on to the three major mistakes I made that kept me stuck in m business!
👉🏼 1. The More You Work, The More Successful You Will Be... Oh.Em.Gee! I used to work my butt off 10 hours a day, trying to play catch up and really I was just running on a treadmill. Doing the same things, over and over, not automating because I thought it may be too hard. Boy, oh boy was I wrong! If you are already maxed out on time, how will you make time to work on your business to meet goals and GROW?
👉🏼 2. Trying To Attract Clients One At A Time... I have seen this SO many times, instead of businesses making a marketing machine that is automated, that can attract multiple clients and come into the sales machine in a way that ensure you are not the one having to do all of the hard work.
👉🏼 3. Do Not Wear All Of The Hats! Do you often put off a job because it would be easier just doing it than telling someone how to do it? Okay, how do you feel about doing 100 of those jobs? Do you see the problem!? Take the time out and invest in automating and telling someone once how to do something and never having to look at that job again OR creating a service that does so. (I give you the exact platforms and insight on how to do this in the Scalable Business Society) If you are the only one doing all the tasks, you will be capped out and you will not be able to make any more money than you do at your most stressed moment. Why would you do that to yourself!? Scale and automate!
This is exactly how I run my Scalable Business Society as I guide my students through how to grow, attract and automate your business faster, in a way that won't have so many curveballs and pitfalls along the way!

How To Get Back On Track When Life Hits You With A Curveball...
Have you ever had a curveball (big or small) get in the way of your strong mindset and the flow of your life? Yes, your answer is yes! This podcast is the 9 tips on how the heck you get out of a curveball efficiently and effectively to pursue your success!

1. Understanding that change is going to happen:

Life is not ever going to remain exactly how it is right now. Scary? - Yes but to be prepared and have understanding will set you up and prepare you with the tools you need to be the best you can in any given situation.
2. Know that some of those changes are going to be VERY challenging: Yep, I am not only talking about the podcast I accidentally deleted off the earth, I am talking about really massive challenges; divorce etc. These changes can be massive and it is how you react which will set the mark. You must have these key principles in order to adapt, overcome and keep on going.
3. Accept the new change and embrace it: There is change - change, is good! Change is what makes the world keep ticking around! Learn to embrace it and accept the new change. Fighting the change will never work in your favor.
4. Keep an open mind: What may be initially a disaster, may just be the best thing that has ever happened to you. You won't see it right away, but overtime you will look back, reflect and accept! It may just be the exact thing your life needed.
5. Be kind and add humor: Look, if we don't laugh we will cry... Be kind, uphold yourself to the change and understand that this change will implement ethics in you that never would be if this didn't happen! Some of my biggest growing points are where the uncomfortable things lie.
6. Do something amazingly beautiful for yourself: You have to nurture yourself. When I say all of these points, I say it out of care. Don't force anything on yourself. This is new, you are learning, you are allowed to feel all the feels! Do something that makes your heart sing. When I went through my divorce, I took myself and my daughter to Paris! This is one extreme, however also a bath with some champagne will never go astray!
7. Just get back out there: You git this girl! Once you have practiced all of these steps, you will be quick to work out you just need to keep going. Like when I lost a few of my staff last year, did I say screw it and close the business? No, you keep on going and hire more amazing people! Perspective is so vital when it comes to change and it will show just how strong you really are! Keep on going girlfriend, change is what makes us better humans with more confidence, experience and development.
Keep on going girlfriend, change is what makes us better humans with more confidence, experience and development. 🙌🏼

This week I chat all about what it LOOKS like to scale, without feeling completely bogged down as if you are just starting out - you will be wearing MANY hats! How do you actually scale when you are doing so much and you feel like you are trapped? I have really investigated what it is in my business that has drastically helped me scale my business at the rate it has, to which I came to the below steps.
You need a vision! As a leader of the business you MUST have a vision. If you don't know where you are going to be taking this business, you will be fazing through your business. Do you want to just float through your business? NO! You need a compass of where you are heading, and as the leader in your business it is up to you to map out that vision. The truth is, that vision may change over time, however that is good! Sit down, plan and map out your business - Time goes so quickly, 2021 is 2 months away! In the Scalable Business Society our first topic is visualisation and how to see where you are going.
Thinking big and be bold! It can be so challenging if you have limiting beliefs to be able to push through and see the back end of them. You need to know that you deserve to be in this life, yes, it is hard, but you are here for a reason! The energy you put out is exactly what you will get back – FACTS! Change your mindset and act!
Scale your personal brand! People buy from people. People want YOU to service them. Your brand is your business! It is so important to build this profile and to not be scared to pop your head up from your business and show yourself! If we are so busy working in our business rather than on it, we do not have time to show our expertise online, networking etc then you are totally missing out. Once you start building your brand and you aren’t scared to put yourself out there as the expert in your industry and attract the right clients and team members – then you can scale! You cannot scale on your own, you need a team and clients.
Establishing key advisors! Coaching! Mentors! Leaders! These people come in many forms and I would not be where I am today without it, 100%! The Scalable Business Society is an excellent example that will drastically give you what you need to leverage and implement into your business. I have also had other people in businesses who have been in my position, and I have networked, communicated, and acted. It is so important to be having conversations and mingling to get where you desire.
Systems, processes, and automation's! Guess what, although you may think you can do it all on your own, you cannot! You need to be automating your business in all area that it is possible. You are not going to be able to grow your business any further without these processes in place. This may be a tech thing that you implement in the business or even a team process. Tech and Team, remember that! How do you set up the systems – The Scalable Business Society will step-by-step guide you.
You need a team! This does not mean that this needs to be on-site and employed under you, this can be as simple as having a VA overseas, or a platform that allows you to upload and they take it from there. This means that you need to train them, trust me this is an excellent time investment.
Working on your business, rather than in your business! If you are in your business doing tasks that could be automated, you are not working on it! Working on it means that it will become scalable and take up less of your time. If you have not read the The E-Myth, you neeeeed to! It will change your business game/mindset.

Oh well hello podcast lovers! Today When you stay in your own lane, you are looking forwards which makes reaching your goal simpler, as you are not looking side-to-side at your competition.
When you start looking side-ways, it slows you down! Your goals and purpose has nothing to do with anyone else. So what does staying in your own lane actually mean?

• Minding your own darn business;
• Not worrying about what your competitors are doing, what your friends and what anyone else is doing;
• Do not let yourself be de-railed by things that are going on in the different aspect of your life and focusing on the vision; and
• Do not compare to social media posts!

Soooo, how do you do that?

1. Be In tune with your goals!

Have you written your goals d0wn? If not, how are you going to visualise your goals if you aren't writing them down? When you have fuzzy goals, it is SO easy to get distracted and move lanes! Write down a 5-year goals, as if they have happened already!
2. New competitors come through! Staying on purpose for you is so important because the competition is constantly changing and you simply will not have time to be keeping up with the roll of different businesses. Although your business may sell the same product, offer the same service, have the same target market - if you are thorough in your businesses goals and values, the competition diminishes.
3. Nobody is as awesome as you! When it comes to comparing yourself it is a major form of neglecting yourself. If you are pulled over on your journey to being unstoppable and you are no longer driving in your lane - you are neglecting your purpose!
4. You have no control over anything, but your own lane! There is absolutely no point in wasting your time trying to control the actions of your competitors! Do not waste your time trying to keep an eye out or to stop the competition - it ain't gonna happen! If you are in a business team, you also need to realise that you cannot stop your team from looking over at competitors. I just have to stay on point and remain purposeful to my goals and ensure I am doing the very best I can for my team.
5. Life is not a race! If your goals are down the end of the highway and you are going 50km per hour to get there, you are still going to reach them! If you are going 150km per hour to get there, you will also get to your goal! There are no highway police in this game! It is up to you, however you want to reach YOUR goals.
6. Other people's accomplishments will never take away from your own.. It is amazing to be around other striving, unstoppable women and we should be able to celebrate that, they are doing super well! However, do not let this throw you off your track! This does not take away the fact that you are doing amazing as well! There are so many things going on that are just vanity metrics, we don't get to see anything but the results! We only see what they wanna share with us! Do you see how dangerous comparisons can be!?
You will get distracted along the way! I still get distracted, so many distractions in the last month that have thrown me off for a sweet second yet the quicker you get back in your lane the better. The most vital factor to this equations is that you are mindful enough as to how you are staying in your own land, are you looking sideways and pull yourself back when you begin to derail!
It is okay to slow down or speed up, just don't stop!

• Facebook: @caraleefontenele

Now, onto the reasons WHY you should be vulnerable and share your stories with your audience! So, this week what triggered this poddy was that I was scrolling on Facebook and I found a super fascinating post of a lady who shared her Tax return. This wasn't a negative or insensitive post, instead she was explaining the facts that although taxes have a huge negative sti9gma around them, in her business she found that her business was THRIVING! It got me thinking and here we are!
In my success story, I have been through a divorce and so many times I have thought to myself, is this too much to share or should I block this side of my life out? Often when I sit in meetings with ne3w clients I have a quick thought of; "I am the professional, I shouldn't share my personal divorce story with this client," yet, the second I wipe that idea and share my vulnerable story - the client then feels safer as they know I understand.
What should you be sharing and what shouldn't you be sharing when it comes to your business?

1. It is SUCH a powerful tool when it comes to powerful branding!
2. Get closer with your clients and gain a relationship developed from trust and safety.
3. Communicated stories can be the backbone of your ENTIRE marketing strategy.
4. When you can convey a story of how you came out of the pain point, to overcoming the challenge in an amazing way - attracts your exact client far better than if you weren't to share your story.
5. Clients what to connect through personal transformation and ensure that they are not alone in their situation.

When you are scrolling through the internet and a post comes up for a potential service or product, what do you connect with? Do you connect with data or statistics? Or do you connect with personal stories and images that relate to them?
If you can weave stories into your business, you 100% need to - however, this requires vulnerability!
You may feel vulnerable and embarrassed about certain stories in your life, yet DO NOT let this hold you back because I can guarantee that you are not alone! Sometimes I feel embarrassed about being divorced twice or that I was a high school drop out, yet that has leaded to so many opportunities in the Family Law Firm and in my Coaching Business!
People don't buy from businesses, people buy from people.
Please let me know if you loved today's poddy and as you know, each week I choose a review and shout it out! Also, don't forget to subscribe and give me a rating as it helps me keep track of what you like to listen to and spread my message further!
