Every law firm has problems that keep coming back. The question is whether you're willing to deal with them now or whether you'll keep paying for them later. In this episode of Maximum Lawyer, Tyson Mutrux shares a surprisingly powerful leadership lesson that came out of a conversation about conference swag bags: You can choose the pain now or the pain later.

Success Is Best When It’s Shared
A lawyer without a support group is like tonic without gin. Sure, it’s possible, but it’s not as good. By supporting your practice goals with practical resources, industry leaders, and proven business strategies, we help give you back more of the things that matter.
Maximum Lawyer Is Perfect For You If You Want To…
Start Working The Hours You Want
Take control of your time, whether you want to invest it in your firm or focus on the things that matter outside your business.
Make More Money (Like, Lots More)
You make a real difference in so many lives. You damn well deserve to get paid for it.
Surround Yourself with the Right Team
Work without constant fear the sky will fall down when you’re not there by hiring the right people.
Create Your Dream Lifestyle
Start living your best life no matter what it looks like by building a business that works for you.
Let’s Be Honest, You’re Practically Married To Your Law Firm At This Point…
… and it’s a one-sided relationship, right?
You put in the extra hours. You’re always there to provide support. And you’ve spent plenty of late nights and weekends together. But things feel out of sync and we don’t blame you for wanting a way out. Chances are you started your firm to make an impact and make good money. So it’s easy to wonder what went wrong if you’re lying awake at night worried about the future.
Running a law firm can be scary and unpredictable. Worrying about where your next case is coming from, feeling like you’re losing control, feeling out of touch with everyone working under your license - there are plenty of moving parts to manage.
Running a law firm can be scary and unpredictable. Worrying about where your next case is coming from, feeling like you’re losing control, feeling out of touch with everyone working under your license - there are plenty of moving parts to manage.
Let’s see if you can relate to any of the following challenges:
Do you find yourself investing more and more hours in your practice?
And you’re missing out on all the good stuff in your personal life...
Do you lack the right business systems needed to free up your time?
And it’s a classic case of being trapped IN your business instead of working ON it...
Are you working yourself to the bone without the rewards you were expecting?
And you’re not living the lifestyle you imagined when you started your firm...
Are you looking to scale up your revenue and make more money?
And you know it’s possible to make multi-millions per year, you just don’t know how...
Do you struggle to market your firm and consistently land clients?
And you’re left chasing leads when clients should be banging down your door to work with you...
Is there no one around you who “gets” the struggle you’re going through?
And it's an isolating feeling facing every damn challenge on your own...
If you find yourself saying “Yes!” to any of the above, or you’re just looking to take your practice to the next level, we can help. We’ll turn any of these fears into a driving force of clarity, focus, stability and confidence. It’s time to stop second-guessing yourself, eliminate mistakes, and get you off the hamster wheel for good.

MaxLawCon was amazing.
Where to begin. MaxLawCon was amazing. I have attended 2 of them. The speakers were incredible and so informative. Also, talking to others in person and learning from them was so engaging and encouraging. I have attending a mastermind, and excited to attend another one in July. It was emotional, but so valuable. I learn so much from other Guild members and taken those ideas back to improve my firm. Being a law firm owner is a constant learning process and being open to new ideas. Maximum Lawyer and the members are there to help us the entire time.
