    #208: Strategic Legal Marketing (To Uplevel Your Reach & Clients)
    Sep 30 2025
    One of my newsletter subscribers asked how to strategically choose their marketing activities. After all, there are a lot out there (many of which could work for anyone). How do you know which ones would be best for you (now)? Another subscriber asked about ways to expand reach with high-end clients (without being salesy). Although these questions are separate (and were asked by two different people), they’re interconnected. Because strategic legal marketing is what uplevels both reach and clients (while narrowing down the options so that you can do what's best for you). Today, we're covering: >>> What strategic legal marketing is. >>> How to strategically narrow your legal marketing options. >>>How to expand reach AND uplevel clients (without spending a ton of time doing it). *** ELEVATE Business Development Mastermind: https://www.coursecorrectioncoaching.com/business-development-mastermind/ Chapters

    You’re closing a deal or in the middle of a case that’s dominating your time, when suddenly a colleague barges into your office needing your expertise. Right after that, your biggest client calls with an “emergency” (that might not be a true emergency but does need to get done soon, and they’re your biggest client, after all). And you’ve already blocked off the afternoon to take your son to get his school physical. How do you manage all of this? Deep breath. Today, we are covering: >>> The top prioritization methods for determining what to do, when. >>> When best to use these prioritization methods. >>> My top tips for effective prioritization and staying out of overwhelm. *** Learn more about ELEVATE Business Development Mastermind: https://www.coursecorrectioncoaching.com/business-development-mastermind/ Join the Success Without Sacrifice Anti-Hustle Lawyer Newsletter Community: https://www.coursecorrectioncoaching.com/connect/ Chapters

    #205: Why You Aren't A Rainmaker (Yet)
    Sep 9 2025
    Think you can't be a rainmaker because you're not outgoing enough or aren't interesting enough? Want to be a rainmaker, but think it's something for later, when you've got more experience, have more time, or just down the road when you're more ready? These thoughts are the real reason you're not yet a rainmaker. And today we dive deep into why they're holding you back and how to overcome them. Because anyone can be a rainmaker, even you, without becoming someone you're not. **** Learn more about ELEVATE Business Development Mastermind: https://www.coursecorrectioncoaching.com/business-development-mastermind/ Chapters

    #204: How To Use LinkedIn for Networking (Effectively)
    Sep 2 2025
    How do you use LinkedIn? If you're like most lawyers, you're probably using it to check out what other people are doing (and maybe repost a colleagues post or make an announcement every so often). Which means you're losing out. Because LinkedIn is more than typical social media. It's also a powerful networking platform for building relationships and having meaningful conversations. Listen to today's episode to learn my step-by-step framework for how to use LinkedIn for networking, and why it's a powerful tool for growing the law practice you want (sustainably). *** ELEVATE Business Development Mastermind: https://www.coursecorrectioncoaching.com/business-development-mastermind/ Chapters

    #203: Lawyers, You Have A Responsibility
    May 27 2025
    A lot is going on in the world, and within our country, that’s unsettling (to say the least). Some of this is even impacting lawyers and law firms. Before going any further, the answer to your question is… Yes, I’m going “there”. But note: it’s probably not quite what you think. We keep saying we need better political leaders. But what if our political leaders aren’t the real problem? And what if we attorneys could be a guiding force for much-needed change? I believe we not only can be, but should be a guiding force. Because we lawyers have a responsibility - not just to speak up but to hold ourselves to higher standards and walk the talk. Chapters
