Almost every attorney I talk to these days wants two things from their practice: more money, and more time for life outside the practice.

These are common pain points for estate planning and elder law attorneys. 

Most love their work and most love their clients.

What they don’t love is how hard they have to work to get new clients.

And what they REALLY don’t love is worrying about money … and how to get enough new clients to stop worrying about money.

I get it.

I’ve been in business for nearly 30 years now, working exclusively with estate planning and elder law attorneys. And believe me, I know what it’s like to work hard to get that next new client … and to worry about money … 

Back in 2019 … just months before the pandemic broke out … I was working hard to expand our business. It was a year filled with travel … from one conference to another … across the country … speaking from the podium, working a booth, meeting with lawyers face-to-face.

You might be thinking that the pandemic ended all of that.

And you would be partially right. 

But it wasn’t the pandemic … it was ME.

I got sick. 

It wasn’t COVID … it was just exhaustion and over-work. It was a life pattern that my body simply would no longer sustain. 

Getting sick was probably the best thing that could have happened to me.

It was a wake-up call. 

I had to stop. My life was literally slipping away from me … and for what? 

Was I really willing to give up years of living and vitality just to talk to one more lawyer?

That’s a hard NO.

I was still committed to my purpose. Still committed to my goal of helping lawyers achieve their potential, serve families in need, and enjoy life … but I HAD to find a different way to do it.

Does this sound at all like you? Committed to serving others … but unwilling to keep sacrificing your own health to do it … and maybe a little disappointed that the money just isn’t keeping up with the effort?

That’s when I decided to get off the hamster wheel and commit 100 percent to designing a business and lifestyle that would work for me! 

I no longer work for the business … because I’ve designed it to work for me!

Since I made that decision, we have generated more than $6.5 MILLION DOLLARS in new revenue.

Meanwhile … 

We re-built our team using a system to identify and hire only the best rock stars.

We tightened our processes and up-leveled our sales skills.

We gave our full focus to the top priorities and got the BIG things done!

And I regained my health.

I changed my diet and started running again.

I lost 70 lbs, set a personal record in the half-marathon at Yosemite National Park last spring and am training to run the Honolulu Marathon in December!

Now, I invite you to join me on this journey! I’ve assembled an amazing line-up of inspiration, training, and hands-on learning for the Grow a Great Law Firm Bootcamp, Sept. 27-28 in Estes Park, CO.
