If you put it out there that you’re going to do something and you’ve fallen off, recommit yourself and reconnect with why you were originally doing it. Tyson’s Tip: Storage companies have a great way of getting reviews. They give you a postcard and have you fill out your comments and review their experience. Just the physical invitation is extremely effective. Guy’s Tip: Read “If You Want to Get Rich Build a Power Niche” by Bruce Statchenfeld. Guy’s Podcasts:http://www.thepersonalinjurylawpodcast.com/http://www.chiropractic-lawyer.com/   https://www.amazon.com/Want-Rich-Build-Power-Niche-ebook/dp/B07K5KHGTG https://www.michigancityinjurylaw.com/ https://gsdimartino.com/ Make sure to register for MaxLawCon19, June 6 and 7 in St.Louis. For more content from us please subscribe to our Youtube Channel Thanks so much for listening to the show!

They have high quality merchandise pens, notebooks, things like that and they're really inexpensive. I highly recommend them-National Pen Company. Worst case scenario is if you get on their mailing list, every two weeks they will send you a sample product in the mail. I just got like a notebook in the mail from them. Its actually branded with my firm's information on it, and I get something every two weeks. https://www.nextlevelbusiness.com/learn/ https://www.oliverbillson.com/ Make sure to register for MaxLawCon19, June 6 and 7 in St.Louis. For more content from us please subscribe to our Youtube Channel Thanks so much for listening to the show!
