Attorneys: Tired of Living To Work…Rather Than Working to Live?

If You Said “Yes” and Your Reasons Have Anything to Do With Working Too Many Hours and Not Making Enough Money - Then Taking 5 Minutes To Read This Letter. It Could Be The Most Important Decision You’ll Ever Make.

y name is Jack McDonough with Wealthy Professionals, LLC in Littleton, CO. In the last few years, while most lawyers nationwide have been slugging away 55 hours a week or more to eek out a relatively meager living fighting just to stay afloat…there have been others from every practice area who have enjoyed huge profit gains while working half that many hours. More about that later. Let me just say that I’ve developed some out-of-the box ideas, concepts, systems, and processes that are HIGHLY UNUSUAL in this industry…and deadly effective.

(NOTE: even if you hold advanced degrees in law, business administration, finance or economics –none of the techniques that I’m about to share with you are taught at any university…anywhere.

 But first, you must fully understand…

 What is slowly killing your law practice….

If you are like most attorneys, you are still operating your practice using the ‘same old – same old’ ideas and systems that you have always used. You probably think that the way you operate right now is the only way and that no other system or approach will work for you.  If you’re starting to lose hope, I have good news for you.

But first, let me ask you a few questions - (check all that apply)

 Are you still…

• Finding it difficult to get QUALITY clients?
• Constantly dealing with collections-hunting down clients who don’t pay?
• Battling with prospects and cheapskate clients who bang on you mercilessly to lower your fees?
• Constantly worrying about irregular cash flow and wondering if next week is going to be “the week” that you can’t meet payroll…or if next month will be “the month” you can’t pay rent?
• Shaking your head in frustration due to the constant influx of new lawyers crowding the field, yelling to the fray “we work cheaper” – making you feel like you must compete on price?
• Battling with a staff that doesn’t do the work you hired them to do, forcing you to do the work instead – (which means you’re paying double – their salary AND the non-billable time you waste doing their job).
• Wasting time with knucklehead ad reps from the Yellow Pages and other publications who don’t know the first thing about marketing? You know…the ones that spout LIES about how “getting your name out there” with an ad that looks like every other law firm in town is going to somehow translate into clients – and justify their ridiculous ad rates. (FYI-it won’t).
• Pulling your hair out trying to meet the ENDLESS list of deadlines that seem to increase with each passing minute?

Keep It Up and You Could End Up A Depressed-Alcoholic-Divorced-Suicidal-Drug Addict…Just Like Your Peers.

Not only are you being squeezed for time and money, the stress level of attorneys is at an all-time high. With the constant commercialization of the legal profession, the dog-eat-dog, negative environment you’re forced to work in every day, the constant demands of judges, clients, and ridiculous court schedules, the lack of civility of other lawyers, and the public’s incessant lawyer-bashing - it’s no wonder that one out of three lawyers suffers from clinical depression, alcoholism or drug abuse.

Not to mention that the divorce rate among lawyers is higher than that of other professionals. There are even a few disturbing preliminary studies that show attorneys commit suicide or think about suicide more often than non-attorneys!

So do you find yourself wondering…now just why exactly did I sign up for this? Was it for the money? Guess again…

This Ain’t Your Dad’s Law Practice – You Work More for Less Money

A 2002 research study by the Law School Admissions Council (LSAC) reveals that thirty years ago, lawyers billed out 1300 hours per year on average. But now it’s not uncommon for the partners and associates in the biggest firms to bill 2500 hours or more per year. Of course, those are just the billable hours – that doesn’t include all of the non-billable hours that are spent chasing money from deadbeat clients, dealing with mounds of paperwork, employee issues, etc.

Now if you’re billing out 2500 hours a year, that would be great if you were making the 60% profit margin that firms used to make 30 years ago. But today, it’s more common for the average firm to be around 45% profitability, according to the LSAC study.

Bottom line? Lawyers work on average 55 hours a week…which means lots of nights and weekends away from their families, friends and the other important things that make life worth living – and they do it for less money.

But then again, I’m probably not telling something you don’t already know.

It’s Not Your Fault – Nobody Taught You How to Make Real Money In School

When you went to law school, face it; there were NO courses being offered on how to get the highest-paying, low-maintenance clients; how to leverage yourself and work fewer hours and make tons more money; how to implement low-cost, highly effective marketing strategies for your practice that will give you so many prospective clients practically begging you to take them on as clients - enabling you to pick and chose only who you want to work with…

(…like I mentioned before, the methods I’m going to show you are NOT taught in ANY college or university).

Besides, if you’re like most, you started your career by working for someone else until you could break away and go into private practice. You were too busy just doing your job and probably weren’t paying much attention to how clients were coming in the door. And even if you had paid attention, chances are very good that the techniques that your first employer used to get new clients were adequate at best – certainly not the door-busting, practice-building, leisure time-increasing, profit-producing strategies that my attorney-clients have been using to free themselves up to spend more time living instead of working – some making more money in a single year than they had before in last 5 years combined.

And Just Like You I Was Forced To Choose:

A: My Business or      B: My Family

After starting my own CPA practice in 1983 and working the standard 70 hour weeks for years just to get it off the ground, I had finally achieved my goal of opening several offices in cities all over Colorado. Although the money and the accolades were there, it came at the expense of my family and my health. I finally made the smart decision at that critical time that no amount of success was worth that.

Now don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying that I took some ‘vow of poverty’ and got off the money-making bandwagon. In fact, I’ll just come out and say it…

“I like being RICH - and my family likes it too!”
(I hope my honesty is refreshing to you. Frankly, I think anyone who says anything different is lying…)

But I had to ask myself…what good was it to be rich and still work 70 hour weeks? At the time I was quickly becoming a stranger to my wife and kids. And even though I had tons of cash, I literally didn’t have the time to enjoy it. Plus, at the rate I was going, my health was likely to give out on me and send me to an early grave. Sure, I could have retired early, but what good would it do if I found myself trapped inside the prison of an unhealthy body, kids who thought I was a jerk, and a possible soon-to-be ex-wife who resented me?

So I Chose…
C: Both a Hugely Profitable Practice
and Loads of Quality Time With My Family
Here’s How…

I knew that there had to be a way to satisfy my own need to achieve and be successful - while still having the time and the energy to actually spend and enjoy the money with my family– going on extended vacations overseas, enjoying 18 holes of golf whenever I want, front-row seats at the Olympics (regardless of where they are in the world).

I knew that there was only one way to achieve this “fantasy lifestyle”. I had to get paid the maximum I could possibly earn for every hour I worked and put systems in place that would put money in my bank account even when I wasn’t working.

After years of trial-and-error, studying and applying advanced direct marketing techniques, and harnessing the leverage offered by technology, that’s exactly the lifestyle that I have created for myself. Now I’m teaching others to do it, too.

Create As Much Money As You Want For The Rest Of Your Life…
And Have the Time to Enjoy It

Learning and applying proven direct marketing techniques and having access to “insider” knowledge is the foundation from which all successful lawyers can create hugely-successful practices.

That’s why 2 years ago, I created a totally unique, one-of-a-kind legal practice wealth-creation newsletter. This newsletter reveals to serious lawyers the proven and tested path for building a high-performance practice, regardless of your legal specialty or what market you’re in. It’s called:

The Exit Strategy Newsletter

Here’s What it IS…

An exclusive monthly 12-page newsletter dedicated to providing attorneys with out-of-the-box ideas regarding concepts, niches, systems, processes, technology, and goal setting. It focuses on Gorilla Marketing, Killer Cash Flow, Managing to Make Money and Leveraging Yourself with Technology (not ‘how to choose a blackberry’- type of worthless stuff, but how to leverage technology to make you more money), getting your personal *hit together, and how to manage your practice from the beach!

Here’s What it is NOT…

This is NOT some State or American Bar newsletter full of the same boring, fluffy, ineffective articles, spouting drivel that didn’t work when your Dad was still practicing law. (FYI: that useless junk is put together to keep the mainstream lawyers happy…that’s not my job). My job is to help you make you more money and free up your time.
