Does Lack Of Time Inhibit You From Helping More People?

Many successful lawyers I have worked with over the last 15 years have a common theme: they are passionate about what they do. That doesn't mean they always do it efficiently or effectively, but they never give up and are absolutely determined to help people. The biggest challenges for most, however is having enough time in their day. Time to get the work done, time to market, time for their family, time to manage their team time to do what they enjoy most, etc., etc., etc.

That's why I invite you to a one hour interactive webinar on Thursday March 12^th at 4PM EST and then again at 7 PM EST entitled “Having the Time to Have it All – Three Time Strategies to Have a Practice with Purpose and Profit”. I will show you three tried and tested time strategies to get a practice that allows you to help more people and be profitable at it.

In this one hour webinar, you will learn how all entrepreneurs (including billionaires) have the same amount of time in the day as you and I, and how they use it differently.

How to effectively utilize your time to enroll your team to help as many people as you choose and profit from it too,

To work effectively with your team,

How to balance your work life and your personal life to ensure you are able to create the maximum amount of value in both,

How to have sufficient time to market consistently which will ensure consistent cash flow and free up the time you're currently spending chasing dollars.

I have been able to create a law practice that serves thousands of clients who thank me everyday and refer their friends. Interestingly, as my practice grew, the time required for me to be in it actually decreased by utilizing these strategies.

It will give you the confidence and path to create a law practice that provides estate planning, elder law, asset protection, Medicaid, veteran's benefits, special needs, and tax planning in a way that helps your clients and your community!

Most importantly, you will be able to ensure your clients are able to maintain their dignity as they age and protect the assets they have worked their whole life for.

If you have a great work ethic, you're passionate about helping people, you're approachable and treasure good relationships, CLICK HERE NOW TO REGISTER for this one hour webinar to gain the time to help more people. These time concepts will be essential to help you break through your time restrictions to help more people and create more value! I look forward to you joining me.

Why I’m Here

April 1, 2014

by Lawyers With Purpose with No Comment Coaching & Implementation Team Building

Every Friday we have a meeting with all members of our team. We start the meeting with personal wins, professional wins and one thank you to someone you would like to acknowledge for the week (doesn't have to be someone on the team/in the room). This week the head of our Member Services Department, Angela, shared her personal win, which was also her professional win. And, I have to say, for so many reasons, it turned into a win for many of us.

Here's what Angela excitedly shared: “My win this week was our weekly CCI Meeting. Marci and Molly coaching to the entire CCI team helped me personally on so many levels. I was struggling with many things in my life, and after that call I walked away with not only a whole new perspective but excitement about how I could turn some things that were not working into a win. I never really understood why you had me sitting in these various meetings that didn’t necessarily pertain to my direct job. Now I get it, WOW!”

Our teams are often unclear as to why they are attending many of the meetings we have them in. Sometimes we hear those exact words – “Why am I here, what am I doing sitting in on this meeting, why do I need to be sitting in on this meeting.” Or, if we are paying close attention, we “hear” it visually with the eye rolling, disengagement, lack of note taking, lack of clarifying questions and/or input, that they have no idea why they are there.

Angela’s win this week reminded me that we all should take a few seconds and clarify our intention for having our team sit in on certain meetings, teleconferences or whatever we are trying to enroll them in. A simple “locker room huddle” prior to the event:

In prep: “The reason I want you to attend is to ______ (observe or plan to propose something afterwards)”;
During: “And what I expect to you to do during the meeting is ______ (take notes, just be present, present x afterwards)”;
After the event: “And I would like you to or expect for you and I to _____ ( spend 10 minutes immediately after to debrief, schedule a one-hour strategy meeting after maybe four or five weeks of these calls so you can get as much info as possible, and then we can see where you stand in your current role.

Angela’s “simple” win was so very powerful, as it reminded me to let people know the intentions of an invite vs. allowing them to flounder in “why am I here?” Angela is now not only excited for next week's CCI Meeting but also definitely sees the endless opportunities available for her personally. But if we didn’t have the weekly team meeting “WINS” format, I'm not certain we would have know what an impact it made on the member services team, and we would also have missed a great reminder to answer the question of “why am I here” prior to each meeting.

If you are not having weekly team meetings and would like a suggested agenda, please email me at mhall@lawyerswithpurpose.com to receive a complimentary agenda.
