Aren’t you sick and tired of waiting for the economy to turn around?

Haven’t you had enough of the negative psychobabble from the news media?

Wouldn’t you like to take back control of your economic future?

The past couple of years have been difficult for everyone but they have been especially difficult for sole practitioners and lawyers in small law firms.  A few years ago, in certain practice areas, people were lining up to throw money at you because they were flush with cash.  But the economy changed rapidly and before we all knew what happened, the market for most legal services became a ghost town.

Then, not too long ago, we were teased with a little optimistic talk.  Some new business was dangled in front of us and we bought into the fact that recovery was on the horizon.  Maybe you picked up a couple of new clients during this time of hope and change and you started to feel better about things.

But then someone flipped a switch and the clients all scattered back into hiding.  As hard as you look you just cannot seem to find them and as much as you try to lure them out of hiding they just don’t seem to like the bait you are putting out.

So what are you supposed to do?  You’re back to the place you started.  Doing the same things over and over and expecting different results.

How long are you going to let this continue?

There is a way to grow your law firm.  Even in an economy like this.  There is a way to build a sustainable law practice that will help you feed your family and live the lifestyle you deserve.  There is a way to make the money you were making back in the “boom time”.

But you have to be ready to do some things differently.

Please go back and read that last sentence again.  There are two parts to it.  The first part is “do something” the second part is “different”.  Most lawyers have trouble embracing both of these concepts, particularly when it comes to business strategy.  If you are ready to embrace the idea of doing things differently, I will help you take back control of your law firm, your time and your financial future.

Here are the three concepts you MUST embrace in order to begin your own recovery:

The first thing you must do is stop listening to the crowd.
  There is a good chance you hang around with people who are in the same situation as you.  These folks are not going to be helpful to your long term growth.  Winners hang around with winners.  If you must hang around with these people (they are relatives) ignore their advice.

The second thing you must do is embrace some new ideas and concepts when it comes to marketing.  I’m not talking about spending all of your time on Facebook and Twitter; I am talking about using some effective, ethical, sound marketing strategies that you have been avoiding.  I am also talking about bundling some solid marketing and relationship-building habits into systems and putting them to work in your daily routine.

The final thing you must do is take action.  You must get up out of your chair and get going.  You must dedicate yourself to finally doing what you know you have needed to do for the past couple of years.  Embrace the fact that the only way things get better is if you make them better.  The money fairy is not going drop a big sack of cash at your door step.  You have to go out and take the cash from the clients who need your help.  And you have to do it ethically and effectively.

If you are ready to take action, ready to try new things and ready to stop listening to the people who are bringing you down, I can help you.

Earlier this year I introduced my Legal Marketing Fast Start System to a select group of lawyers and they put it into practice.  The results were beyond encouraging.  Since its introduction, I have added two additional components to this system.  One is a component that helps you focus on the daily habits that will build up a successful client base over time.  And the other will help you get new clients on board properly and help you collect full payment from them.
