Getting Control & Clarity about Your Legal Career

35m · Published 27 Mar 18:41

You want more control, more autonomy and a greater sense of feeling over your career.

So far, the path to get there has been hazy at best. People become partners and still stumble their way around.

Go to coffees and lunches, it sort of works sometimes, and so you hunker down and just do your work...until you feel the heat and decide to go to some conference. You get some traction...until you're back in a pit again.

The feast and famine cycle continues.

If you have work, there's not enough work from the kinds of clients you want.

In this episode, we share the 6 things you need to master in order to get all this under control!

Master these 6 things and you will learn how to build an engine that gives you results, over and over again.

We're back from a long hiatus for a solo episode here where we discuss some insights we've learned over the last few months since we last spoke.

Dear listener,

In this final episode of the year, we reflect back on what it takes to learn and grow your practice today. And what it takes to learn these skills.

After speaking with hundreds of you, and coaching dozens of you, we got a rare glimpse at what it takes to create change.

Learning business development is about so much more than unlocking a bigger book of business.

It's about freedom, about happiness, about thriving in your career.

The principles are simple. Execution can be hard when you're pressed for time and energy.

That's why in the 2nd half of this podcast (15 minutes in), we get into a very exciting new challenge for 2022.

We call it The 12 in 12 Challenge. It's meant to bring fun missions every month along with accountability and coaching all into one place. All for less than $50/month and open to people from around the world, no matter what stage of their career they're in.

Learn more about our cohort experience, and the 12 in 12 challenge in this week's episode.

Thanks everyone for a great year!

Ad Astra,

Aaron & Dhawal
