Who Has Your Back?

by with No Comment Systems & Processes

I was sitting in a hotel room in Florida at 11:24 in the morning when my cousin called.  My aunt was in the hospital after having a stroke and learning she has a brain tumor. It was Saturday and the hospital wanted to discharge her to a rehabilitation facility on Monday.  Like many of our clients, my aunt had completed a will in the 1980s but did not have a financial power of attorney or health care directive.  Knowing that I am an elder care attorney, my cousin reached out to me for help.

Bigstock-Typewriter-With-Special-Button-74518390We spent almost an hour on the phone outlining priority actions.  Although I could educate my cousin and tell her what needs to be done, I could not personally help because I don’t know the laws in Texas, where I am from and where my aunt lives. Fortunately, I do know people.

Immediately I reached out to my friend and colleague, Sandra Ard, from Ard Law Firm, PLLC, www.ArdLawFirm.com, in Dickinson, Texas.  After returning home from getting her nails done, Sandy spent the rest of her Saturday afternoon preparing legal documents and driving to Galveston to meet my aunt at the hospital to execute them.  Sandy could have said, “Call me on Monday.” But she didn’t.

I would not expect any lawyer, even a friend, to take such remarkable measures for a client.  I did not expect Sandy to do so just because it was my family member who needed help, but I was hopeful.

I was right to be, for one simple reason: Ard Law Firm is a member of Lawyers with Purpose. Sandy is the epitome of what a Lawyer with Purpose is and shows exactly what members in our community do for each other.  Sandy has my back! 

Without Lawyers with Purpose, I would not know Sandy Ard. Without Sandy Ard, I would not have been able to help my cousin and aunt so quickly.  Although many organizations offer similar software and training, Lawyers with Purpose has a community that cannot be compared or copied.

Want to experience this for yourself?

I may be able to get you in the door for the Practice Enhancement Retreat, Wednesday, October 21st – Friday, October 23rd.  Email me at vcollier@lawyerswithpurpose.com if you’re at all interested – I'll have your back – but do so quickly!

Finally! An Intensive Legal Workshop That Trains Your TEAM On Practice Success

by with No Comment Asset ProtectionEstate Planning Drafting SoftwareLegal MarketingSystems & ProcessesTeam Building

You’re only one person, and if you want to be successful in your practice, you need to be focused on doing ONLY that which makes you the most money—serving clients, networking with key advisors and handling legal matters.

You should not be answering the phone.

Bigstock-success-and-winning-concept---53462125You should not be “babysitting” staff members so they stay on track.

You should not have to get too involved selling your services, either (hint: your staff members should be your most profitable evangelists… if they are not, you have a problem).

 …Plus so many other things that you may find yourself “stuck” handling on a daily basis.

 Your team members really don’t want to let you down or add more work on your plate; they simply don’t understand where they fit in the big vision of your practice or how to move beyond their “9 am to 5 pm, punch a clock” conditioning that they’ve been taught their whole lives.

That’s why at our Tri-Annual Practice Retreat this year in St. Louis, we are devoting two entire days to training your team for practice success mastery (June 4th and 5th).    

We are going to transform your staff members into the most profitable assets of your practice!

This training includes our Firm Retreat, which is a dedicated, uninterrupted half-day where we will help create YOUR personalized Law Firm “Money Plan™" that will equip each staff member with a step-by-step blueprint to hitting your revenue goals in just four months! 

No more “it’s not my job” attitudes. No more “9-5” mentality. 

Our team training event will empower your staff members to work your practice as if it were their very own business and their own capital on the line. 

Sound good?

Then don’t wait to register for our Tri-Annual Practice Enhancement Retreat.  Bring your staff members to this intensive event but don’t wait, doors close in less than 30 days (May 15th)!  To view the full agenda and pricing information, visit: www.retreat.lawyerswithpurpose.com

P.S. Think about all of the training you’ve attended to learn how to grow your practice and push beyond limiting beliefs and habits. Why shouldn’t your key staff members do the same?  They arguably have the most interaction with your clients and help steer your practice ship each day.  Make the wise choice to invest in their success to boost your own: www.retreat.lawyerswithpurpose.com
