Out of a hundred new lawyers in prestigious, high-profile law firms: Two will have a long-term career at the firm, ninety-eight of you will (sooner or later) be shown the door. There's an overwhelming chance you will become another statistic and one day you'll be on your own with no law firm to provide security, a paycheck, or even a desk. If you don't know how to manage and grow a law firm, you will be lost in a sea of lawyers. You will be desperate for any clients you can get and have no idea how to manage a sta or hire a team of superstar employees. This book was written for you. Most books about law firm management and marketing are motivational with little practical advice. But when you have your own law practice and are just trying to survive, you don't need motivation--you need to know what to do ... right now. This book was written to fill that gap--the gap between theory and practice. The gap that law schools ignore, the gap that many lawyers ignore. Take small, baby steps to implement these principles, and with some time, consistent application, and a heavy dose of courage, you will be on the way to building the law firm of your dreams.

Book excerpt: Now a New York Times Bestseller As a college student he spent 16 days in the Pacific Ocean with five guys and a crate of canned meat. As a father he took his kids on a world tour to eat ice cream with heads of state. He made friends in Uganda, and they liked him so much he became the Ugandan consul. He pursued his wife for three years before she agreed to date him. His grades weren't good enough to get into law school, so he sat on a bench outside the Dean's office for seven days until they finally let him enroll. Bob Goff has become something of a legend, and his friends consider him the world's best-kept secret. Those same friends have long insisted he write a book. What follows are paradigm shifts, musings, and stories from one of the world's most delightfully engaging and winsome people. What fuels his impact? Love. But it's not the kind of love that stops at thoughts and feelings. Bob's love takes action. Bob believes Love Does. When Love Does, life gets interesting. Each day turns into a hilarious, whimsical, meaningful chance that makes faith simple and real. Each chapter is a story that forms a book, a life. And this is one life you don't want to miss.

Love Does has a kind of 'north star' effect that will push you to refocus your life and energy on what is most significant. It doesn't just invite you to respond with your God-given potential, it invites you to become a part of what God can do beyond your potential." --Reggie Joiner, Founder and CEO of Orange "We liked the book a lot. Mostly, the balloons on the cover. The rest was pretty good too. Lots of stories about how God helps us." --Aedan, Asher and Skye Peterson ages 13, 12 and 9 "This may look like a book. It's not.

Hang on " --Michael Hyatt, Author, Platform: Get Noticed in a Noisy World, MichaelHyatt.com "Bob's ability to love people brings contagious hope and inspiration wherever he goes.

Download or read book The New Law Business Model written by Ali Katz and published by Lioncrest Publishing. This book was released on 2021-01-12 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You became a lawyer to help people and have a great life. Instead, you're working insane hours, not making the money you had hoped, and are not fulfilled by your life as a lawyer. Ali Katz was struggling with the same issues while also being a single mom who needed control of her calendar. When she saw major flaws in the way lawyers, like herself, were taught to serve families and small business owners, she decided to do something about it. Ali developed a new way to practice law-one that puts relationships before transactions. And while that made her happy, the icing on the cake was that she started generating over $1 million annually in just three years, all while going to her office just three days a week. Now, Ali brings this knowledge and experience to bear in The New Law Business Model. If you're a lawyer, there's no need to abandon your dreams. In this book, Ali shows how to use your most valuable asset-your law degree-for the good of families, small businesses, and most importantly, your well-being. Pulling from her own journey, Ali shares the roadmap she followed and insights she found that made her success possible. The old law business model is broken. It's time to replace it with one that works for you, your family, and your clients. It's time to take back your time, your income, and your humanity. The New Law Business Model was created to guide inspired lawyers like you into a new era.
