How To Use Your Own Story To Build A Successful Business

In today’s episode, we’re with an Uplifter, out to help people craft unscripted lives. Hayden Humphrey empowers people to break up with the scripts they were given so they can build careers and businesses that are aligned, authentic, and joyful.

We talked about a very important aspect we need to nurture as we build our businesses, including our law practice.. and that is our relationship with oneself - how we build that relationship and identify disconnects in how we relate to oneself.

When we acknowledge this, we’ll begin to understand how the problems we may be struggling with are reflective of the issues we carry within. Ultimately, how we relate to ourselves is how we relate to the rest of the world.

Listen to the full episode so you can discover how to use your own story to build a successful business authentically.

 On today’s episode, we have Stephen G. Pope. He specializes in revenue growth for professional firms, agencies and consultants. He is also the host of Digital Masters Podcast.

We had this amazing conversation on what we can focus on when we want to stand out. Zigging when others are zagging is doing the exact opposite of what most people would normally do.

We also covered why showing up on video is a huge plus. And he left this insight on the importance of embracing our uniqueness and a reminder of how some things will develop over time.

Never underestimate the importance of defining roles and responsibilities towards your client. 

Many divorce lawyers wear several different hats, completing jobs outside the initial range of their job description. 

Unfortunately, this can lead to a great deal of confusion within your client, especially when leadership responsibilities are not properly assigned. 

Clearly defining roles and expectations can have a positive impact on your client as a whole.

Defining roles and responsibilities within your client, whether it’s short term or long term, permits you to more effectively manage your clients. 

Everyone should understand their role within your clients and what they are expected to accomplish.

Today's episode is about a book that if I had read when I started my law practice, my life would have been way more comfortable from the beginning. 

It doesn't matter if your business has been a few years in the market; it is never late to take your law practice to the next level. 

The book explains a plan to take care of the daily details, so the entrepreneur can be free to think exclusively about their business growth. 

This book taught me the best way to nurture my legal firm, and I want the same for you.

The E-Myth Revisited: Why Most Small...

I remember the time I went to a senior lawyer for advice. I was struggling financially, and like it is said, half a day away from a disaster all the time. 

I had spent tons of money on a big office, furniture, new desks, and so forth. Debts covered me, and the income wasn't couldn't cope with all those expenses. 

You ran before you walked, the senior lawyer told me, and he was right. The thing is, if I had started smaller, I could've been more focused on profit, putting earnings into my genes. 

Today's episode is about making the right investments in your law practice and focusing on those investments' revenue.

I've recently talked to a close friend, a banker, and she told me something that shook me up a little bit. Her job at the bank is to decide whether the bank should grant a loan to someone or not.

She told me that from all businesspersons she deals with daily, those who struggle the most, the ones more stressed, are usually lawyers running a law practice.

Here is the thing, most divorce lawyers struggle in their law practices because they don't treat them as a business. 

In today's episode, I want to talk about going through law school and not ending up being broke.

When I started my career as a divorce lawyer more than 25 years ago, I've committed colossal mistakes. I've chewed more than I can chew and ended up in a millionaire debt. 

But after years of being coached and living my life on purpose, I've dramatically changed my firm's and my reality. 

Today's episode is about how you can make a 180 degrees change in your life and your family law practice through strategically thinking, and be a happy person, and a lawyer.
