When your business systems are fixed and your law firm is working like the factory you knew it could be, what’s next? When you are an entrepreneurial type of business owner, you are always going to have this little “problem” of wanting to build another factory. There’s no use in pretending it ain’t so, because […]
I have watched attorneys suffer in frustration for years. I finally figured out a formula that works to help law firm owners succeed while still maintaining a life. For the last four years, I have helped many attorneys around the country apply these principles to build several multi-million dollar law firms, and every one of […]
If each NEW customer is worth more money to you, you may be willing to spend more money to acquire customers. That’s a no brainer, right? To find your new customers, you may be willing to spend more and send more. When you send out more mailers to even more in your target audience, you […]
You’ve got a major decision to make in your firm. Your law firm location is in a poor spot? Your front end manager is not pulling his weight? Whatever it is, something has to be done and soon. However you frame it, as a business owner you are going to be faced with decisions and […]
I recently finished the book “How to Get Rich” by Felix Dennis. Felix is the founder of Maxim Magazine and by most definitions, assuming I take what he’s said in his book as truth, very wealthy.

A vacation is supposed to be a let-your-hair-down-consume-drinks-with-little-paper-umbrellas kind of time. Right? So, what’s with the rules? The “rules,” for a change, are not to restrict but rather to enhance your vacation enjoyment. We’ve become a hi-tech culture. […]
