Are You Searching for Ways to Improve Your Life as a Lawyer?
According to Google search engines, terms like ‘I hate being a lawyer’, ‘leaving law’, ‘how to make more money as a lawyer’, ‘legal marketing’, and ‘be a better lawyer’ are searched hundreds, if not thousands of times per month.
The volume of these kinds of searches affirms that there is a trend happening with lawyers—they want to do something to change their current situation and improve their life as a lawyer.
Can You Relate?
Perhaps you’ll relate with these situations shared by a few of our Personal Family Lawyers. (Lawyers trained and endorsed by NLBM; you can learn more about them here.)
Is your schedule out of control, like Stephanie’s was?
“I was running a busy, highly transactional immigration law practice. I was burnt out and working 12-15 hour days.” – Stephanie S.
Are you bogged down by taking any client who walks in the door, as Amber described?
“I started my own practice from the beginning, taking any client who walked in the door - and that was not working. I ended up with a lot of clients that weren't aligned with the work I wanted to do. I was also bogged down by all these other things that aren't the actual lawyering, and felt more like I had just created a job for myself. I was tired, beginning to resent it, and I needed to get back to a place where I enjoyed my work.” – Amber S.
Is all of the conflict and pressure wearing on you, like it was for Taylor?
“My life as a lawyer was driven by conflict, deadlines, court schedules, an adversarial mentality where your opponent is constantly looking for you to slip up, miss something. I increasingly felt that I could not deliver good results to the clients because of so many factors beyond my control.” – Taylor H.
Or have you hit the stage of total burnout, as Pam did?
“I was burned out and thinking of leaving the law completely to become a life coach. I actually discovered NLBM when I searched ‘leaving the legal field’”. – Pam M.
These are just a few examples, but what we’ve noticed, after working with over 2,600 lawyers, is that the reasons lawyers are searching for some way to improve their lives and law practices often come down to three things: time, money, and fulfillment.
The quest to make better use of your time, make the money you need, and feel fulfilled in your career as a lawyer.
We’ve found that the very best place to start is to get abundantly clear on what it is that you really, really want.
Why is knowing what you do want such a critical first step? It’s simple.
You can’t get what you want until you know what you want. You cannot possibly make the best use of your time unless you are able to define your priorities and optimize your utilization of the resources you have available—and you won’t be truly fulfilled and happy until you do.
To help you do that, we’ve created a resource that will guide you to gain that clarity.
This free resource is The Money Map for Lawyers, an interactive, 5-module training that will help you map out a plan for your life and law practice that will allow you to meet your time, money, and personal goals.
- Module 1 - Discover what you really, really, REALLY want.
- Module 2 - Get absolute clarity on the amount of income you need to live the life you really want.
- Module 3 - Learn how to prioritize and leverage one of your most valuable assets—time.
- Module 4 - Uncover the resources you have available to create the life and law practice you really, really, really, REALLY want.
- Module 5 - Pricing and packaging your legal services in a way that will enable you to reach your financial goals.
Use this free training to gain total clarity on the life and law practice you want, the income you need to earn to have that life and business, the time you actually have to earn that income, and the real resources available to support you in your journey.
In doing so, you’ll have taken the first step towards creating a life where you’re building a law practice you love. In fact, many of our lawyer members have been through this process as part of their training with New Law Business Model.
Finding a life as a lawyer that truly works.
Let’s take a quick peek at what happened with Stephanie, Amber, Taylor, and Pam when they found what they were searching for…
They’ve got their work hours down and income up.
“My transition to estate planning with NLBM has enabled me to live my life again. I’ve increased my revenue by 1,000% and I’m spending 35-40 hours weekly on the practice. I'm a true community resource now - and what's best is that I can actually spend time with my family and on my hobbies.” – Stephanie S.
They’ve found focus.
“Putting these systems in place has been really helpful. There is no need for me to reinvent the wheel, and I can focus my energy. I finally feel like I'm doing what I wanted to do when I started law school!” – Amber S.
They’ve found joy and freedom.
“Thanks to NLBM, I assessed the aspects of my practice that bring me joy and allow me more freedom to dictate my own schedule, and I’ve found that working with the clients directly without an adversary gives me more freedom for myself, my family, and my clients.” – Taylor H.
They love their lives and law practices.
“Now, I love my law firm and my law practice. My clients are wonderful to work with and super grateful. I feel like I am making a difference, and have better work-life balance. I feel confident and excited about what the future holds, which wouldn't have been possible without NLBM.” – Pam M.
