I think it is safe to say that, if you have a law practice, one of your goals is to be “successful.” What that means to you will be different than what it means to me or what it means to another lawyer, but we all want success in our practices. Sometimes that drive for success can actually have the opposite effect, though. It can lead us to a way of thinking based on fear, distrust, and selfishness.

For many years I was afraid I would never have enough clients, or that the ones I did have would leave me. You may feel the same way, especially after having gone through 2020. And I ran my law practice out of that fear – but it wasn’t until just a few years ago that I realized it. Are you running your practice out of the fear of not enough clients? Could you tell if you were?

TAKEAWAY: we often get caught up in scarcity mindset without realizing it.
