This week on the show we have Matt Aulsbrook. Matt started his first insurance agency in 2009 when an entrepreneurship class in his MBA program sparked his interest in business ownership. This taught him how to be lean with a startup as he bought a duplex and rented the other side to keep a low overhead. He still ran out of money, as many small businesses do, but his dad bailed him out with additional funding saving the agency from closing. Matt was able to pay his dad back and worked up to owning five agencies. The insurance businesses funded law school. He became an absentee owner in the agencies in 2014 and started law school. He graduated law school in 2017 and got his bar card in 2018. He has since sold all except for one small agency. The money from the sale of the businesses has allowed him to pay off all debt excluding real estate. Now his primary focus is growing his personal injury firm in Arlington, TX. 6:23 Addiction and recovery 16:33 The power of gratitude 22:06 Long-term goal shifts from COVID-19 Jim’s Hack: Setup a good morning routine.

This week on the show we have Patrick Cawley, an attorney at Keystone Elder Law PC, in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania where he prepares estate plans and helps navigate government programs to pay for long-term care, Medicaid, Medicare, and Veterans Administration benefits. He also works with care facilities, funeral directors, the government, and others to ensure that people get the best care without losing their hard-earned savings. In today’s episode we’ll discuss working with clientele that aren’t comfortable with technology, educating first and how videos establish trust. Jim’s Hack: If you can get your hands on the old Magnetic Marketing, by Dan Kennedy, do it. It's some old school audio and sort of cheesy, but there's so many great marketing nuggets in there.Tyson’s Tip: Keep marketing, now, more than ever. You have an opportunity where everyone is in front of their screens all day, every single day. I don't care if you're doing paid advertising like pay‑per‑click, or Facebook ads, or if you're just doing free social media, freakin’ do it every single day. It's a very, very, very rare opportunity right now so take advantage of it. I can tell you, from experience, pay‑per‑click - the cost is way down and our numbers are way up. What would normally cost us thousands of dollars, we're paying for hundreds of dollars. Patrick’s Pointer: Stay grounded in this time of uncertainty by one simple daily discipline. That's just taking an inventory of your day before you go to sleep. So, simple questions like, “Did I feel any selfishness? Was I dishonest? Was I afraid? Do I need to take responsibility for something or make an apology?” I just think that asking these simple questions about your interactions or how you functioned during the day, when it becomes ingrained in you, you start catching yourself and you catch bad thoughts or bad habits before they take root and become a pattern.If you enjoyed the show, we’d appreciate a 5-Star review!The doors to the Maximum Lawyer Guild community are open!

As soon as you listen to this, I want you to think about the last 24 hours, list three of your wins and write them down. It'll really help change your mindset. I think we're trained, we’re not supposed to celebrate our wins for some reason. Celebrate your wins. It'll make you feel better. It'll help improve your day. It really will.John’s Tip: With things slowing down, block in time for your calendar. Block in an hour. Block in four hours. Trust me. I initially had to go a month and a half out to block time. Now, I don't have anything on Wednesday afternoon, and I don't have anything all day Friday. That allows me to put in that white space - family, and golf, and business development. I think you'll all be, as I've been amazed, that you can still practice and still serve all your clients while you block out time to handle the business side of your practices.The doors to the Maximum Lawyer Guild are now open!Check out all the member benefits and membership details here: https://maximumlawyer.com/theguild/Thanks so much for listening to the show!

This week on the show we have Charlotte Christian, who operates an Alabama Divorce Law Firm and is working to expand her virtual model throughout the State of Alabama. In today’s episode we’ll talk about changing practice areas, working remotely, and scaling.Jim’s Hack: In this time of great uncertainty and anxiety, we need to be as transparent as we can, especially with our employees about the realities of the situation. We shouldn’t sugarcoat things. I also don’t think we should be alarmist, but I think we have to be realistic and we have to be honest. We have to be as honest and vulnerable and as transparent as we can be.Tyson’s Tip: Save time with the Reach app. You can create groups of people. Let’s say you have a bunch of lawyer friends, say criminal defense lawyers, and you need somebody to cover a court appearance, you can send a text to all of those people. Let’s say you’re a personal injury lawyer and you’ve got a question about underinsured motorist coverage or something like that, you can send it to all of those people at one point. It’s not a group text. It is an individual text to all of the different people in that group.Charlotte’s Tip: If you have an iPhone 10 or 11, you can get Verizon to add an additional line to your phone. It’s not a voice line. It’s not an internet line. It’s an actual cellular line. This way you have a personal line and a business line. Whenever you start to make a call, it lets you choose which line you’re going to use to make the call.If you enjoyed the show, we’d appreciate a 5-Star review!Thanks so much for listening to the show!

I’ve been lucky enough to have some of the best meals with our members. It's so easy to get caught up in the digital, but Neal's right, there's no substitute for human connection.Neal’s Tip: Because my memory is starting to go on me and because I have ideas that pop into my head at the worst times, I use an app called Otter, Otter voice digital. And it is a great way of speaking your mind very quickly. It actually records everything that you say in text format. It's searchable. And if you're doing an interview, or a podcast, it actually separates the voices so it works out very well.Tyson’s Tip: So my tip of the week is a book that my mom gave me. And it's called The Coffee Bean. It's a really simple lesson and an easy read. I mean, you could probably read it in 30 minutes. In a nutshell, you look at a coffee bean and really all the power is inside the coffee bean. And you don't really get that power out until you boil it down. It’s a really neat lesson.For more content from us please subscribe to our YouTube Channel.Don’t forget to sign up for MaxLawCon20! https://www.eventbrite.com/e/maximum-lawyer-conference-2020-tickets-62992819218Thanks so much for listening to the show!
