They will go over the importance of having a performance mindset in your life and your business, and how mental toughness can help you grow your firm.
[smart_track_player url="http://traffic.libsyn.com/maximumlawyer/Episode_110.mp3" social_linkedin="true" ]
Are you fighting it out to the very end?
The importance of confidence: The perfectionist mindset VS. the performance mindset.
Self confidence is the number one variable for all performers. What that perfectionist mentality does, is it really takes its toll on a person self confidence. If I keep thinking about that error or that missed opportunity, and not focusing also on the things I’ve done well, my confidence is gonna take a beating. We try to train people to develop the performance mentality, that it’s about recognizing what you have done well and relentlessly improving.
“Highly successful people NEVER get anything done in one given day, but what they do is, ALWAYS get their most important activities done each and every day.”
Plateaus in business
“Plateaus will happen. There will be times where you’re kind of in that phase of doing the work and not seeing the immediate results, but if you stay with it: 30, 60, 90 days, nailing your one most important and usually getting the 3 most important done each day, you are probably gonna find plateaus don’t last very long; that you find ways to keep moving it to the next level.”
The mindset of saying no
The first step to saying no is evaluating where your time and energy are going, and in terms or relevance, what’s most important? If right now you are feeling overwhelmed, the next step is to eliminate 10% to 20% of what you are currently doing. The third step, is moving forward. The next time anyone ask you something, before saying yes, identify what will you say no to.
Don’t overload yourself. Prioritize.
Hacking’s hack: Have a podcast!
Jason’s tip: Go back to the 3 most important and 1 must. Identify your 3 most important activities and of that 3 what’s the one most important activity that must get done every day.

In this episode, Jim and Tyson interview Michael Whelan. Michael runs his own law firm, organizes a lawyer conference and is writing a book about running a law business. They will go over his background, the conference and the book; it’s main principles about being a solo practitioner, deep expertise and legal supply chain.
“Law is not a business plan, it’s a product, it’s a monetization strategy. It’s how we turn knowledge in to cash so that we can live. How we do that is really up to us.”
3 main ideas:
1. Financial capital is not a good play for specially solo attorneys, but social capital is highly available, and should be the leverage point for people trying to run their own law firms.
2. The 2 most valuable pieces of any transaction are the relationship and deep expertise.
3. People should connect on a legal supply chain. A different way to structure human capital.
Hacking’s hack: Jim’s been listening to James Schramko (https://www.superfastbusiness.com/about/) and he said something that really struck a nerve with him.
“I create content when I have something to say.”
Michael’s tip: A daily task app that is fantastic and it’s gamified. Great to use with your kids.

Tyson’s tip: A tool to manage social media.
