Sounds good, but does it WORK?
I receive a lot of email with offers for all kinds of different programs. I’m sure you do too. It can be a bit overwhelming for sure – especially when you also have client work, family, and community projects that need your attention.
Yesterday morning there were 3 new urgent client matters to deal with and an urgent matter for one of the community organizations I’m serving – all popping out of the blue. You’ve been there; you know what it’s like to be a solo or small firm attorney.
With all you have going on, why add more to your plate? Because adding the right thing at the right time can actually make your life less complex. I know it’s a paradox, but it’s true. The challenge is knowing when and what to change.
Hopefully, I can help. I’d like to make at least a part of your life easier.
We’ve all faced the fear of not knowing where the money to pay the bills would come from next month, let alone 6 months from now. Most of us don’t even want to think about 6 months from now, and if we do, we know in our hearts that any planning we’re doing is really just a fantasy.
That’s where being a member of The Space Between Center lawyer mastermind programs can help. One of the first things we do is help you free yourself from the trap of hourly billing and implement some flat fee models (customized to your practice, not mine) that will give you some benchmarks for REAL planning.
Does it work?
Here’s an email I received late last week from one of the founding members of The Space Between Center lawyer mastermind. Remember this is after less than two months in the SBC program:
“I wanted to share with you that I landed one of the prospective membership clients considering my program (the other is just having me do a TM registration on a project basis for now) – his reaction was ‘I think that you have a great formula with the different tiers of service. Frankly, I wish we had met earlier so I could take more advantage of it…’- <- he is a very early stage start-up.
Once I showed the new membership client the math for the services they were looking for over the next year they signed up – at the $1500/month level!
Not only has this one client more than covered the cost of the Space Between Center program for me, but having knowledge of that recurring cash flow over the next year is already freeing me to focus on creatively growing my firm.”

Does it work?
Yes.
How good would it feel to know you had at least $1,500/month on the books through this time next year? How about $3,000, $5,000, $7,500? How much better would your life be if you could look at contracted revenue of $10,000/month for the next few months?
That’s just one example and we’re too early in the program to have generally expected performance results to share, but it’s a great indicator of the results you COULD get if you become a member of our program and actually implement the approaches we’re discussing.
It’s about sharing.
It’s about experimenting.
It’s about moving through your fears and into the excitement & success that self-employment can offer.
It’s about being creative and taking control of your life and future rather than trying to fit your future into the model that some lawyer started using in England centuries ago. We’ve all been trapped by that guy. I’d like to throw some rocks at him. His billable hour model has caused unconscionable damage to lawyers and their clients over the centuries.
It’s time to get out of his trap.
- Are you ready to take a few simple steps to get control of your life?
- Are you ready to take a few simple steps to reach the potential you know you have inside?
- Are you ready to share your knowledge and experience with like-minded business, estate planning, and collaborative family lawyers who would like to share with you?
- Would you like some real support and guidance in building a legal services business and go beyond just “practicing?”
If you’re ready to get control of your life, then join us this Wednesday at 2pm for a free informational call about The Space Between Center’s lawyer mastermind programs.
We have openings in our small business mastermind group, and we’re introducing two new tracks:
- A track for estate planning attorneys led by estate planning attorney Candice Aiston; and
- A track for collaborative/family law attorneys co-lead by Michael Sherman and Steve Worrall.
The easy steps we’re talking about literally changed my life and took me from the depths of bankruptcy, fear, and anxiety to a place where I could plan, grow, succeed, and enjoy my profession. It can do the same for you.
Again, the call is this Wednesday, May 19th at 2pm Eastern.
You’ll be able to learn what we’re doing in the programs, meet the leaders of the different tracks, and ask some questions to make sure the program is a fit for you.
Sincerely,
Kevin E. Houchin, Esq.
Founder, The Space Between Center for Creative Spirit in Business.
P.S. These programs are NOT for everyone. If you’re satisfied in the billable hour model or if you have no intention of taking action to make the changes that will improve your life, then this program is not for you. If you’re ready engage with a mastermind group, share, implement, and receive, then you owe it to yourself to find out more.
Oh, and feel free to forward this post to other small practice attorneys that you would like to help succeed.
