034: Starting a Law Firm is Hard

June 22, 2017 04:25 - 7 minutes - 8.18 MB

In this episode of the podcast we get real. Starting a law firm is hard. Just like any other business. If you think it's going to be all rainbows and roses you are kidding yourself. Even if you are leaving a firm and taking clients with you it's not going to be easy. So get used to it. And get ready for it. It's okay to admit that starting a law firm is hard. It's the truth. And that's why there are a bunch of struggling law firm owners out there. It is not an easy thing to do. If you...

033: Should Lawyers Join Country Clubs for Business Development?

June 15, 2017 10:29 - 15 minutes - 17.6 MB

I've been talking about this in my email newsletter and in my BLF Society podcasts lately because it's been on my mind, but I wanted to dive in a little deeper to this topic here with a full blown podcast. I've been wondering for a long time whether or not lawyers should join country clubs for business. I've come to the conclusion that yes, they should, though maybe not for the reason that you think. Let me be clear, getting a tax deduction is NOT a reason to join a country club if you are...

032 – Stop Looking Backward

June 12, 2017 11:43 - 9 minutes - 10.6 MB

Too often we dwell on the past and fail to look forward at what the possibilities are and where we want to go. In this episode I break down the common pitfalls of looking backward, the one thing you may want to consider looking back for, and the true price you pay for focusing backward instead of forward. If you are starting a law firm or building your law firm this is a skill you must learn in order to succeed. Dwelling on the past is only a recipe for disaster. Links Mentioned in the Show...

About a week ago (sorry for the delay, I've been in Paris!) I got this question from of the law firm owner listers out there: Chris, your podcast is great. Thanks so much for the information!

026: A New Law Firm Marketing Course Is Not The Answer…

April 10, 2017 14:46 - 12 minutes - 14 MB

In the Building A Law Firm Facebook group today someone asked a question about a law firm marketing seminar they'd received a direct mail piece from. They wanted to know if it was worth going too. Several people from the group chimed in. All I could think about was that it really didn't matter if they weren't willing to implement the ideas they'd learned while they were there.

023: Is The Legal Profession Dying?

March 30, 2017 23:26 - 35 minutes - 41 MB

The other day my man John Skiba posted an article on Facebook that discussed the idea that the legal profession is dying. I read the article (you can read it here), thought it was a little lacking on analysis, so I thought I'd chime in. I'm not going to give you everything here, because it's all in the podcast episode, but I'll let you dine on a couple of nuggets. 1. The legal profession is and will dying in some ways. 2.

022: Law Firm SEO Isn’t Dead (It’s Just Different)

March 27, 2017 14:00 - 14 minutes - 16.4 MB

If you are spending a large amount (or any amount, for that matter) of your law firm marketing budget on law firm SEO, you might just be flushing your money down the toilet. It's not that SEO is dead, it's just that it's different. The way law firm SEO works now is based less on your ability to create a ton of links aimed at your site and based more on your ability to consistently create good content over a long period of time.

March 06, 2017 18:59 - 16 minutes - 19 MB

Last night I was sitting at home, knowing I had something I wanted to get done to continue to build my law firm. Not only that, I wasn't actually totally put off by what I had to do. But I didn't do it. I didn't do anything. Instead, I watched the iHeart Radio Music Awards. And then I went to bed. Why did I do that? I'm in a little bit of a rut.

016: Not Everyone Is Going To Be A Successful Law Firm Owner

February 28, 2017 17:23 - 11 minutes - 13.4 MB

The theme of today's episode is pretty simple: maybe you don't have what it takes to be a successful law firm owner. This episode was sparked by a recent episode of Suits that I watched. Mike was managing a legal clinic and there was a lawyer in the group that really wanted to be a litigator. He wanted to be a trial attorney. He went to court and got demolished. He simply couldn't think on his feet. Then he tried it again. Demolished again. Mike had to have a talk with him and say "look, ...
