It’s a really busy few days. So, I have two things to update you on.
1. Space Between Center Lawyer Mastermind
We’ve had a huge response to the F-Word Manifesto talk at the ABA Annual Meeting. So, we’ve scheduled an informational call for attorneys interested in learning more about flat-fee billing models for their law firms and potentially joining our lawyer mastermind group. That call is Thursday, September 23rd at NOON EASTERN. The call details are:
(205) 747-2164
PIN: 324614
PW: 0923
2. INSIDE-OUT Development Program
We’re introducing a new Personal/Professional/Business Development program for ANYONE wanting to escape the billable hour trap and align who they are with what they do. You can find out more about that program and join us by clicking INSIDE-OUT INVITATION.
I’ll be letting people know about this as part of my F-Word Manifesto talk tonight at Ignite Fort Collins. You can watch the presentation via live streaming here tonight starting at 7pm MOUNTAIN: http://bit.ly/ifclivestream
The ABA called me up out of the blue in July and said “We’re having an Ignite-style event as part of the Legal Rebels project at the Annual Meeting and we’re asking 10 thought-leaders to come present. We’d like you to be one of them.”
Of course I jumped at the opportunity. Then I jumped on a plane. I’d been hoping for an opportunity to get to San Francisco on business ever since Missing the Flight. This was it.
I was picked up at the Airport by Mary Kay (my biological mother) with whom I would be spending the first time together ever in my almost 42 years of life. We got to spend some great time.
The presentations were given in a segmented area of the Exhibit Floor of the Annual Meeting. Mine is titled: “The F-Word Manifesto” and deals with 4 F-Words: Fear, Fail, Flat & Free. Here’s the presentation.
You can pop over to the F-Word Manifesto Web site and sign up to receive the freebies. Also take advantage of scheduling a 20-minute “Ask Anything” conversation with me. I’m convinced that my flat fee model will work in any service business if you do a little homework, get past your fear, and have a little faith. I’d love to help you figure out how to implement this system in your business too.
I’ll be doing a similar presentation of The F-Word Manifesto talk at Ignite Fort Collins #6on September 22st. You can get your Free tickets here. The presentation I’ll do that night will be tailored for service businesses in general rather than just for lawyers. I hope to see you there or talk to you soon on a 20-minute Ask Anything call.
I’m writing this post from my iPhone as I wait for my flight home from Boston after two weeks of heavy travel and mind-expanding change. It’s become apparent that my marketing & social media skills are at least as valuable as my legal skills and that my ability to help people tap into their inner core of creativity is more powerful than the legal & marketing combined.
So, while I’ll still serve my legal clients, I’m going to stop limiting myself to that and now allow the right marketing and coaching opportunities into my world. What will that look like?
I don’t know for sure yet. I’m just now opening up to that question. I’m happy to hear your suggestions.
The only constant is change, and I’m finally ready to allow some major changes to happen-both internally and in this reality we all need to work with.
I will be speaking at the LegalRebels program during the upcoming American Bar Association 2010 San Francisco Annual Meeting. It would be my pleasure if you would join me. Please stop by to see me present at 12:30 p.m. Thursday, August 5 at the expo floor at George Moscone Center West.
This is an “Ignite” style event – all the speaker have 6 minutes with 20 slides on auto-timers. If you’ve ever been to an Ignite event locally, do it. You’ll find that these are very high-energy programs and I’m sure this Legal Rebels program will be a crazy good time – at least a crazy good time for lawyers. 🙂
You know I don’t do a lot of event promotion on the site, but when my friends Dawn Todd and Rikka Zimmerman told me about this I wanted to share. Yes, I even wanted to sponsor – and DID sponsor through BOTH my law firm and The Space Between Center for Creative Spirit in Business.
This information IS that important.
A lot of people are waking up to “Conscious” Business, instead of just stumbling though business and life in the usual fog.
Conscious Business is a trend in business that’s getting a lot of attention.
Doing well by doing good.
The new discussion on the table is how are we consciously generating business and what is the process of consciousness in business development?
Business as it has been done is just not working. . . and conscious business is more than people, planet, profits and passion.
Dawn and Rikka will both be speaking at a single event here in Fort Collins next week.
August 4, 2010
9 am to 1 pm
Rikka will be speaking on the subject of Getting Out of Your Own Way and Dawn will be giving a talk on Conscious Business Development.
