Jim Hacking
Just like anybody who owns a firm and who’s running a firm, we have a lot to learn ourselves that we’re always trying to grow, to improve and to push ourselves to really become excellent attorneys and excellent legal marketers and excellent bosses and thinking it all through. You and I were talking about, you know, one of the things that you and I can do, to sort of push ourselves and we thought, why not talk that through on the show itself? Why not let our guard down a little bit, and see where it takes us.
Unknown Speaker
Run your law firm the right way. This is the maximum lawyer podcast, podcast, your hosts, Jim hacking, and Tyson Meatrix. Let’s partner up and maximize your firm. Welcome to the show.
Jim Hacking
You’re back on the maximum lawyer Podcast. I’m Jim hacking.
Tyson Mutrux
And I’m tasting music today. Jimmy
Jim Hacking
what’s going on? Oh, Tyson. It was a great weekend. We have beautiful weather here in St. Louis. I think most of the country had really nice weather. I did want to mention that our numbers are up on the podcast, we’ve been getting a lot more subscribers and people paying attention to our show, and a couple of shout outs from friends who randomly found us. And I think this thing’s really starting to take off.
Tyson Mutrux
Yeah, is from December to January had doubled, and even tripled. And then from January and February numbers are up to it has been really nice. It’s been growing, the listeners have been spreading the word which I appreciate. Facebook group has done a lot I think Twitter has done. I don’t think you share the podcast on Twitter. But I do think that helps quite a bit. But yeah, there’s a and it’s weird, because there’s people actually searching through iTunes and through Google Play. And I think Stitcher or whatever it is. They are finding us through there too. And they’re looking for attorney podcasts. So it’s going really well. Hopefully people are getting something from this, I think today’s gonna be pretty good podcast, where we’re going to sort of open up ourselves to people to sort of expose our innards to kind of dive deep, but so I’m kind of excited about that. But that’ll Yeah, things are definitely growing a little bit.
Jim Hacking
So the thing that we were talking about before we started recording was sort of examining, you know, the podcast is about six months old, and sort of looking at what we’ve been doing. And we certainly like having our guests on. And we also like to give out advice, like we’re these gurus. But just like anybody who owns a firm and who’s running a firm, we have a lot to learn ourselves that we’re always trying to grow, to improve, and to push ourselves to really become excellent attorneys, and excellent legal marketers, and excellent bosses. So just on my end, this week, we’re getting ready to hire a part time attorney, and a part time marketing person. So we’re really getting lots of calls and contacts. And the fact of the matter is that for the last three weeks or so a lot of those contacts if we don’t contact them right away have been falling through the cracks. And I was struck by our conversation on the show a couple of weeks ago with Seth price, about you know, you need to have that immediate response when people raise their hand and say that they’re interested. And so we’ve got someone coming in four hours a day to sort of help Marwan and I to really follow up and to push our before unit. But in thinking it all through, you and I were talking about, you know, what are the things that you and I can do to sort of push ourselves and we thought, why not talk that through on the show itself? Why not let our guard down a little bit, and see where it takes
Tyson Mutrux
us? Yeah, and the big thing is that you use Infusionsoft a lot for the before unit what Dean Jackson and Joe Polish would call the before unit. So before, during and after unit before unit being the marketing unit, the during unit being really the practice of law, automating your practice and then the after unit, the follow up either the follow up with the services you provided, and then just a follow up just keeping in front of them, which there’s a lot of overlap between the before unit and the after unit, but they are different. So what the idea was is that you sort of challenge me on improving my before unit. And then I challenge you on really improving your during unit because I don’t use Infusionsoft for a lot of my before unit. You don’t use Infusionsoft for a lot of your during unit. So as we push each other, hold each other accountable, we will improve as well. So I think that’s the idea.
Jim Hacking
Yeah. And you know, you and I sort of hold ourselves out as experts and gurus every now and then on this show. Analogously I think that we learned more from our guests, and I learned more from talking to you than I do just sitting around thinking about how smart I am. But I remember there was a phase that I went through when I was listening to Entrepreneur on Fire, which is a podcast with John Lee Dumas that guy recorded seven podcasts a week he issue seven a week so but he drove me crazy because he said an expert is just someone who knows a little bit more than you do. That’s an expert. And if you look in federal court rules, that’s how they define an expert, someone who knows more than regular people in the jury and I was like, that’s not what an expert is. That’s not even know what it is in federal court. So you don’t know what you’re talking about dude, but you know, so one thing that you and I have kicked around and sort of where we’re headed on today’s show is that we’ve talked about bringing on a brand new attorney and sort of helping him teaching him or her through all the kinds of things that we talk about marketing, client retention, referrals, follow up all that stuff, good systems. And it occurred to me over the weekend. And you and I talked about it this morning is that, you know, on the one hand, we could just hold ourselves out if you’re rude and act like we know everything. On the other hand, we could take the show in a little bit of a different direction, and sort of use the show to talk out loud about the things that we’re struggling with. And the things that give us bad dreams or things that we worry about. And sort of lay it all out there and use the show as sort of a way to see how our mind works to how we approach solving problems. And I think that we’ll probably get feedback from the listeners and in the Facebook group of things that we don’t even think of. So I think that we go for small wins, we talk them through, we mentioned the things that we’re struggling with, and then you and I sort of push each other to do better in whatever it is that we feel like we’re struggling with.
Tyson Mutrux
Well, you just gave me the first thing we’re going to talk about, because I know I’m gonna really challenge you on this. My guess is that you have zero onboarding process for this new attorney.
Jim Hacking
Yeah, so the new attorney, this is interesting. So right now at our firm, we have three attorneys, and we’re going to bring in a part time attorney, and she has an active Missouri law license, but she hasn’t practiced ever. As soon as she got her license, she started having kids, and she’s been a stay at home mom working at home. And so she wants to sort of get back into the workforce. And so in a lot of ways, we’re starting out sort of the way we started out our legal interns. It’s not like we’re gonna throw her in and have her handling cases. But yeah, that’s funny that you mentioned that because I don’t have a very good onboarding system, especially for attorneys. And over the weekend, Amanda and I were driving out to dinner with my parents. And she turned to me and said, you know, that new person started on Wednesday, right? I said, Yeah. And she said, What do you have set up for them to do and I was like, wait a minute, I’ve got to do that. That’s, that’s my job. So I was sort of stressed out about it. But I’ve been working all morning on sort of what we’re going to do to bring her and the marketing person up to speed. And so we’re gonna go for small wins, we’re going to get her involved in one particular type of case, we’re going to teach her citizenship first, because that’s sort of the most straightforward. And at first, she is going to be like a lot in turn doing research for us, maybe helping us with forms a little bit. But as of now, on Monday morning, we’re recording this and she started on Wednesday, we don’t have much formal intake or onboarding for her. Okay, so
Tyson Mutrux
there’s a lot of things going on with this that I’ve got issues with, but one of the indoctrination part of it, you’re just kind of just throw her end sounds like and which is a bad idea, but you still have time, something that I’ve done with Infusionsoft and this is something that you can easily do. And it’s not that difficult to do. And you can always have Kelsey help if you if you need to, or I can help you is you need to create videos using either QuickTime or whatever, you have a desktop version that you can record your desktop, I came up with what do you use Jing or something like that? Exactly. Okay, use Jing, you can also use Hi Fi h YFY, which actually will take a screenshot of the tab that you’re in that screenshot of the screen video, the tab that you’re in, and you just need to break down, I think you’ve broken down every stage of your immigration process for each of the things you do. And I would start with the things that she’s going to start with, and whether those are, I don’t know what kind of visas you you have multiple names for different things. So whatever, pick one of the visas that you you handle, start with that, and then break it down the stages and then go stage by stage on how you all do things. And I know that you were talking about this method that use with the intake and all that you can even start with that, even though it’s probably going to change, at least for now. Start we’re doing a screenshot of what the what that actual document is and how you fill it out, and go from point A to point Z on every stage of your case process. That way, the next time you do this, and whenever you hire this assistant to so you’re hiring a new Assistant, you’re hiring a new attorney. And as you hire more and more people, you’re these aren’t gonna be the last hires you ever make. You’re probably gonna make some more this year. So every time you onboard them, all you have to do is put them into the system. And they will watch these videos and it will train them. I’ve done this multiple times now. And I and the way I have it set up Jimmy is they sit down at their computer, they watch module one, and then it automatically once it’s done, they get an email with module two, and module two, they another email that pushed them into module three. And so they go stage by stage by stage until they’ve done all of it. And I think it took three full days for my last hire to go through all he went through all them in this three days. So with a lot of videos, you don’t have to do that many between now and then. But you should do things like that because that way they can reference it. The thing that they always talked about is that they can go back and reference it. They don’t have to come and bother me and Ask me questions, they can rewatch the video if they want to. So that is one key thing that you can start doing. That’s gonna save you a bunch of time in the future. And I think you have an office manual. So a lot of this can just go right up your office manual, which is easy to do.
Jim Hacking
So you’re proposing that I do this ahead of time before she starts as opposed to doing it contemporaneously with her and recording,
Tyson Mutrux
correct. That way allow you to edit things if you need to. So you could do I guess, go through generally with her after you’ve watched the videos, or before or I don’t even think you need to, I think if you do a video that fully explains everything. They do the video, you briefly discuss it afterwards, and she’s good to go. I definitely don’t think you need to sit down with her and do these videos at the same time. You may also creep her out a little bit.
Jim Hacking
Right. Okay. All right. I like that. I like picking I certainly like picking one topic. And one of the things that got me on this kick and wanting to talk to you about this, besides the fact that I’m sort of in this scenario where we’re bringing on to new people. So it makes sense to talk about better practices when it comes to onboarding is that I heard one of the podcasts that I listened to is clay mask. And one of the partners have that small business success podcast from Infusionsoft that I like, especially when they bring in people sort of from their lead forum, people who have grown their businesses, and somebody along the way was talking about how you know that running a business is sort of like raising kids. And so you know, like, if you have a child who’s like four or five, and every day you button up their coat and zip up their coat and get them all ready, you can do that. And it’s faster than taking the time to teach them how to put on their coat, how does it bug their code, how to close the buttons, how to pull up their hood, how to tie the string and all that stuff? That yeah, it’s going to spend a little bit more time at the beginning. But in the long run, it’s going to save you a lot more time. So what I’m not very good at doing is doing that taking that time taking that break to build it out in a way that then I don’t have to keep doing it over and over again and spending time doing it myself.
Tyson Mutrux
Yeah, and you really don’t even have to automate at this stage. I mean, automate automating it is an advanced step. And for the listeners that don’t have Infusionsoft, you don’t need it. Mean Hi, Fi it’s free. Hy FYI, on my desktop, on my Mac, I use QuickTime, that’s free comes with a Mac, I think Jing is free. These are all free things you could use. So it’s not things you have to spend extra money on. But what you can do though, is you just give your you can put it on a flash drive, you can email it to your to your employees, whatever it might be, you just record the videos. And it can take five minutes at a time. Some of them may take a little bit longer may take half an hour, so maybe an hour, depending on what you do. But these are things you have to spend extra money on and you don’t you don’t even have to automate it. At some point, Jimmy, since you use Infusionsoft, you need to automate because it’s not that hard to do. There are ready made, I think webinar type or not webinar, but video type of campaigns where you can just plug in the videos, I custom built mine because I was using it I based upon another campaign I had already built. But you could just plug it in based on what Infusionsoft has already created for us. And then it’s pretty easy. You may not have time between now and Wednesday to do all your videos and automate it. But at least you have your videos that you can plug and play going forward.
Jim Hacking
Okay, that’s great. So I think that I talked about working on citizenship, but the fact is that HMNB season is upon us, I have prepared a lot of training stuff for HNB. So I can use some of that. But I can also, these are employment visas, I can also work on getting her up to speed on each one of these. So that that would be a good one, that focus that she can work on. It’s not going to involve her going to court or to immigration or anything. So it’d be a good entryway for her into the practice of the firm. And the fact is no one else here, other than me really knows how to do it. So that would be something that I would be directly freeing up myself. I did this last HNB season where I just did everything myself. But there’s really, if there’s one type of immigration case that can be automated and sort of outsourced or, you know, given other people in the office, that’s the one that lends itself to it the most, because it’s
Tyson Mutrux
the same thing every time. Do you do that? Because it’s easier?
Jim Hacking
Yeah, I do it because it’s easier, I can knock one out myself in about two hours. And this this year, we have twice as many as we have last year, this we’re gonna have about 15 Each one of these. But if I taught someone else how to do it, they could do it probably three or four hours. And then eventually, you know, they would get up to speed to do it as quickly as I can, especially if I wrote it all out.
Tyson Mutrux
No, I guess what I mean is do you do that? Because it’s easy. That means that you’re avoiding doing more difficult tasks that why you do it?
Jim Hacking
No, I don’t think that’s it. I mean, it does keep me from doing big picture stuff that only I can do. I don’t think it’s like a character defect or something wrong, where I’m avoiding doing harder work. I just think it’s something where it’s telling myself that it’s easier if I do it myself and I’m sure that I’ll do it correctly. More than more than any kind of nefarious and what I’m trying to avoid doing other stuff. But maybe right
Tyson Mutrux
well, I just didn’t know that may be an issue where you didn’t want eat the frog. kind of thing. So as maybe diving deep on that, but if not eating the
Jim Hacking
frog, Tyson, I think would be me actually doing the work to make it so that I don’t have to do the work. You know what I’m saying? I think that’s what we’re talking about is, right. Yeah. Yeah. And so so maybe there is some of that. And what I need to commit to doing is taking that first hour of the day and eating the frog and doing things. And that’s sort of what I wanted to talk about on the podcast is, you know, to sort of be accountable and say, Okay, are you going to walk the walk or talk the talk. And so I think that that’s a good thing is that I spent some time this morning, I can spend some time tomorrow morning, just getting ready for her and doing it in a way that sort of makes sense. And it’s going to free me up in the long run to scale. Because as long as it’s all locked up in my head, I’m never going to be able to steal it, I’m never going to be able to be free of doing all the work.
Tyson Mutrux
Yeah, and I want to give you a different way of looking at this too, right. So you got this new employee, and you got this person that’s going to work for you part time to uh, let’s, let’s say, the attorney and the assistant that you’re hiring, you have two people there that you want to work for you for a long time. And part of what you’re doing with your employees is you’re also marketing to them as well, you are giving them signs like, Hey, this is a stable environment to come into it, we’re going to be around for a while, we want you to grow inside of this firm, and actually make a career out of this, if they walk in on Wednesday. And they’re kind of like, you’re kind of like, well, what are we going to do today? Well, here’s a here’s this manual, let’s go over this and talk a little bit here. Oh, it’s lunchtime, oh, after lunch, maybe we’ll do this, or maybe maybe obviously, with the money, you know, it doesn’t seem that organized. Whereas if you had them sit down, hey, thanks for joining the firm. Or today, here’s what we have planned out for you, we’re gonna get through modules 1234, and five, here’s the things we’re going to cover. Once you’re done with that, every time you get on with each module, you’re going to get a new one. And then if you have any questions after each module has come talk to me, and then also we’re going to go through the user manual this point, here’s these different things we’re gonna do here and there, you’re you’re much more organized, you’re signaling to them, we’ve got our stuff together. And this is a firm to stick out to stay at. So that way, you’re not investing your money in these people. And then they’re looking for next two, three months for another job. So just maybe another way to look at it, you’re not just, this isn’t all about you, this is also a lot about them as well, and you want to keep them around once you’ve invested that money
Jim Hacking
is a great way of thinking about it. What’s something that you’re struggling with? Okay,
Tyson Mutrux
so here’s something I’m struggling with, we can get some other stuff too. But something I’ve been wanting to do for a really long time as a newsletter, and you do a very, very good, good job at it. My worry is is taking the time, maybe it’s eating the frog to taking the time to actually sit down and do that newsletter and who to send it to and why the Senate’s different people. And he’s segmented you create multiple newsletters. So what are some, I guess some things that you do with your newsletter that makes it a little bit a little easier to do? Yeah, maybe there isn’t a easy way of doing
Jim Hacking
it. So much more comfortable talking about things that I’m good at not things that I struggle, and I enjoy talking about. I enjoy talking about things that you struggle with more than things that I struggle with. All right, so the newsletter, I think our friend Gary sends one out to attorneys and one to clients or potential clients. And I, I understand why he does that. And he sort of alternates back and forth. I don’t I don’t know that you necessarily do that. I think that the great power of the newsletter is that I mean, I’ve had many people come back to see me a year, a year and a half after the newsletter have they first got on our list. So I think one is just sort of that long term connection, I think that your passion comes through in the week to week and it just sort of solidifies it. If they’re actively reading it. I think that’s just a real. There’s no substitute other than I think a podcast to really get your voice and your connection to people on a regular basis. One tip, I think for the newsletter that’s really helped me is to write a little bit each day. Because if you’re sitting down on Sunday morning or Monday morning to crank out a whole newsletter, it really can be stressful, but I’ve really gotten to where I write a pretty little substantive Facebook post each day, maybe a blog post a couple times a week. And then I just repackage that all into the newsletter with links, you know, pushing everyone back to the website to see the different things that we talked about or the YouTube videos and you know, you’re creating content regularly Tyson and so if you package it in a way to make it into bite sized pieces, I think that’s that’s easier than looking at a blank piece of paper every Monday
Tyson Mutrux
morning. Okay, it’s another thing though, because you’re very consistent about sending it out every Monday. What it may be at different times, but you sent it out every Monday. I don’t think you do. But do you ever skip a week where you’re like, I’m too busy. I can’t do it.
Jim Hacking
No, I’ve never skipped the only time I skipped I skipped one time. I think it was Christmas or New Year’s it was just that week between Christmas and New Year’s this year but other than that it’s every Monday
Tyson Mutrux
letting everybody skips during the holidays just because it’s it’s can be time consuming to get stuff done during the holidays. The thing is people don’t really
Jim Hacking
remember or if they just think they missed last week, they don’t reply. I mean, every now and then I’ll get an email from someone, Hey, where’s this week’s email, but you know, because a man ended up in their spam folder or something, but I think that there’s lots of ways to talk yourself out of doing it. And one is, well, I have to do it every week, or Well, I have to have good content or can’t be boring. And, you know, we make sense stuff about our life and stuff about our family and stuff about the firm and stuff about clients, clients successes. And by the way, clients successes are probably the biggest thing that people really like. Everyone always comments on that. And it’s gotten to the point now, where, when I’m handling someone’s case, they talk to me about the future date when their picture and their stories in the newsletter. So it’s really become, yeah, sort of a virtuous cycle where people sort of view that as something that they want to attain, they get their picture up on the wall here in the office, and we get their picture in the newsletter and on Facebook, and people really sort of like that.
Tyson Mutrux
Okay, so here’s another one of my fears. When it comes to the newsletter, you know, that I hate email, I hate hate, hate email, I’m sure that there’s some people that I would be sending this to, they would also hate email as much as I do. But whenever I also send other things out during the holidays, or during other times of the year, where they get this, you know, I like, one year, I did, like National Donut Day, send an email out to clients, you know. So just cut things off the top that aren’t really, they’re not like all around a big holiday, because everybody gets inundated with an email during holiday. So I try and pick another day. That’s a little different, because it’s kind of sets out but occasionally I will get an email back from the client saying, Hey, thanks for the email, by the way, do you such and such called me on the case? Do you have an update or whatever it may be that they’re asking for an update or asking for a question about the case. When you send these emails? Are you then getting responses from clients about their cases?
Jim Hacking
No, I would say that I probably get, you know, five or 10 emails back and five of them are like cool article, thanks for sending or, Hey, I have this other person I want to refer you someone to I don’t think I get very many. Oh, I’m really pissed at your law firm. Why are you sending me this? Or why are you working on this email hacking instead of working on my case? You know, I haven’t gotten any of those emails. But I think you’ve had yourself up in lots of knots in ways to try to avoid doing a Tyson but I think if you just push yourself to do it, and sort of turn off all that noise as to why you shouldn’t do it, you’ll be a lot happier.
Tyson Mutrux
I’m not necessarily worried about the ones that are pissed. It’s just the generating more work, because I’ve sent them an email. But I mean, it sounds like you don’t have that big of an issue with it. And sounds like you’re getting referrals from it. So that’s good.
Jim Hacking
If you have a client who’s mad at you that wants to express something about what’s going on in their case, then that’s probably a good thing that you’re hearing it directly from them as opposed to filtered through your team.
Tyson Mutrux
That’s a very good point. That’s actually something that we’re funny, you said that because we’re starting a new system of getting surveys early on in the case. And then throughout the case, because we want to know early on to if the client is mad, but they’re happy. Because sometimes you just don’t know, sometimes you think that you’re doing all the right things and the clients happy. And sometimes you think you’re doing all the wrong things and clients unhappy, but it’s, it’s not true either way. So But you’re right, you definitely want that feedback. So that’s good. You’re helping relieve some of my stress about sending this newsletter. Now inside the newsletter, do you have calls to action, just clicks to
Jim Hacking
our Facebook group, I usually have an invitation to join our, our Facebook group immigrant home that group has grown from, like 20 people that I first started that we’re now up to, like 360 people. And now it’s sort of interesting, I’d say clients and other friends are posting regular content to that Facebook group every day. Um, yesterday, there were five people that posted and I was only one of them. So it’s sort of interesting now that they’re all everyone’s it’s sort of what I wanted to happen is that they’re all having their own discussions in the group about immigration. And I’m just sort of there to sort of chime in when, when necessary. Sounds like no one’s talking about cases. They’re just talking about, you know, immigration so much in the news right now. But as things occur, they’re all sort of chattering about it.
Tyson Mutrux
That’s really cool. I like that. Can we do another me question?
Jim Hacking
We can we gotta hustle. We’re getting towards the end.
Tyson Mutrux
Okay, so I’ve been putting together a book for two years now. And it is taking me forever. Do you want to ask, I know, can you do you have a way of helping me get this book done fast? I mean, I have all the bones there. And I have a lot of I have a lot of that I’ve dictated and it is in a Word document. I still need to get it edited. And I still need some a few sections I need to get done. Do you have a way of streamlining this process for me? Yes, I do.
Jim Hacking
Do you have those questions written out? Or was the other topics or you want to talk about?
Tyson Mutrux
Oh, yeah, I guess I’ve got a whole outline. Yeah. Of the things that are missing. Yeah, I do.
Jim Hacking
Alright, so here’s what’s gonna happen. you email me those questions. We’ll set some time later on this week. You’ll give me those questions and we’ll record and I’ll ask See all those questions and then we’ll send them off to be transcribed and then you’ll be done.
Tyson Mutrux
So in general, he’ll he’ll transcribe it for me. I’ll be done. Okay, cool. That was easy one.
Jim Hacking
I mean, that’s what we do. For the 90 Minute Book, I’ve got my second book with the Jacksons company, the 90 Minute Book, and they just interviewed me and it couldn’t be any easier. So if you are like me in that you don’t like to let go that final product sometimes. So I think this will be good.
Tyson Mutrux
Sweet. All right, do your hack of the week. My hack of the week is to get a
Jim Hacking
trainer, I got a trainer, we were talking a little bit before we got on the call, my wife and I have a kick ass trainer out in pair at the lodge. And I’ve been working with her sort of non stop at first four days a week, and now two days a week. And so since the middle of December, I’ve exercised just about every day, I’ve had one or two days that I missed. But other than that, I’m lifting weights, doing cardio on the day that I don’t lift weights, and dropping some pounds, gaining some muscle, I’ve never been a weight guy in my whole life. When I was in high school, I looked around at everybody lifting weights, I was like, This is not for me. So it’s been quite an adjustment. But having a trainer and having someone to hold you accountable is fantastic. And the exercise context. And I really think Tyson I can see with our firm growing as much as it is that I’m going to need a coach myself. So I think over the next couple of months, I’m going to explore different coaching options because I need someone on the business end, to hold me accountable to I think you and I can do that for each other for now. But I think that to really take this thing to another level, I’m thinking about joining Strategic Coach or something like that.

Very cool. Getting a coach has been something I’ve been considering for a while I know a lot of people do someone who’s gonna be come on the show, Brian McCray, he’s a coach, and I just did a webinar for him last Monday. And he’s someone who I’ve sort of talking to more and more about getting a coach and talking about the benefits of having a coach and he’s legit, so I can’t wait to have him on. But if you talk to the most successful people in the world, 99% of them have coaches, there’s a lot of things that they all do that are consistent, but having a coach is one of the big ones. So a lot of them were at $100,000 jobs or had businesses make $100,000. And then now they’re making billions of dollars, because there’s a lot of the credit goes to that coach. So I think Coach definitely is important. So my tip of the week is give gratitude, daily gratitude, preferably in the morning, and then again at the evening to but definitely in the morning. It’s something that I’ve always sort of done at some level, but not daily. And so it was it was not very consistent. But something I’ve been doing each day, even on the weekends, is starting in the morning and writing down three things I’m grateful for. And it changes the way you think the rest of the day, it really does put you in a different mood. So like I started, you know, that’s not like I start the day in a bad mood. But it just has shifted just my mindset quite a bit. And it puts you just in a different mindset. And it makes you a lot more positive. Your vision, I would say is a lot more focused, when you start your day with gratitude. And so I recommend writing down three things that you’re thankful for, and going from there, and it really is a positive spin on your day.
