When he was 31 Joe Bernstein’s former wife asked him for a divorce and that’s when Joe realized he was really unhappy. He set about taking responsibility for his life, lost 150 pounds and stopped living his life through a lens of fear. Now he helps others do the same. He coaches people, mostly men, going through transitions like divorce and custody battles. Many people resist or try to sabotage the process of divorce because they’re not ready to face it. Joe helps them realize that this transition is an opportunity to paint a vision for their life and make the changes they need to thrive. A byproduct of his work is that it makes many lawyers’ lives a lot easier because they’re able to work with clients who are motivated to move forward rather than argue over small issues. Resources:Learn more: www.joebernsteincoaching.com/thelawentrepreneurFacebook: www.facebook.com/joe.bernstein.902LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/joebernsteincepcEmail: joe@dropthearmor.comJoin Lawyer Club FREE, where lawyers and law firm owners come to reclaim control of their firms and their lives!

Sam Mollaei started off as an employment lawyer. Then he read The 4-Hour Workweek and realized there was another way to leverage his expertise. He created a virtual law firm which has been so successful it has generated over 1000 Google reviews and made him the first lawyer to be a member of the ClickFunnels 2CommaClub ($1 million generated with a funnel). At the heart of Sam’s business is an automated, dependable system of bringing in and serving clients. He also subscribes to the principles of making decisions based on where you want your business to be, not where it is, and the 80/20 rule. Resources:Learn more: Legalfunnel.comEmail: sam@legalfunnel.comClickfunnels.comUpwork.comAds.google.comConvertkit.comDubb.comMixmax.comRead: The 4-Hour WorkweekRead: Dotcomsecrets.comJoin Lawyer Club FREE, where lawyers and law firm owners come to reclaim control of their firms and their lives!

Marco Brown is a frequent lecturer on the process of getting paid as attorneys — and, as I’m sure most of you know all too well, getting paid on a timely basis and paid the full value of your services is a huge problem for solo and small firm practitioners.We also discuss Marco’s transition from an insurance defense attorney to a solo practitioner, and how he was able to grow his firm to a small firm with five attorneys (spoiler: it’s in part because he was able to get paid!).Resources:Learn more at www.utdivorceattorney.comLinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/marcocbrownTwitter: twitter.com/brownlawllcJoin Lawyer Club FREE, where lawyers and law firm owners come to reclaim control of their firms and their lives!

A couple weeks ago, we re-aired an episode with David Burkus, author of Friend of a Friend, and I received positive response from that episode that I wanted to share another one of my favorites from back in the archives. (But I promise this isn’t going to be a regular thing now.)Originally aired in April 2017, this episode features Ernie “the Attorney” Svenson, an expert in helping solo lawyers and small firms make their practices more profitable and vastly easier to manage. Since this episode released, Ernie has also launched Law Firm Autopilot, which is both a course that helps attorneys automate their firm and a supportive community full of lawyers who want to learn new things.Resources:Learn more at lawfirmautopilot.comJoin the Facebook Group: www.facebook.com/groups/lawfirmautopilotTotal Transformation Marketing Workshop: lawfirmautopilot.com/live-events/total-transformation-marketing-workshop/Join Lawyer Club FREE, where lawyers and law firm owners come to reclaim control of their firms and their lives!

Lesly Longa Vaillancourt and I started our law careers together as associates in a small D.C. firm, and like myself, she’s since moved to start her own estate planning practice (although I only got as far as Maryland, she made it all the way down to Tampa). So, today, we compare notes on our transition from personal injury litigation to starting an estate planning solo practice, dissecting the good, the bad, and the ugly choices we’ve made along the way.Resources:Learn more at longalaw.comTwitter: twitter.com/longa_law Join Lawyer Club FREE, where lawyers and law firm owners come to reclaim control of their firms and their lives!
