You have the best interest of the people you're hiring to work with you and the people you're providing services for. Know that it's going to come to you when it's the right time. You will have these opportunities in the future. So if right now, you have to say, "This is really cool, but I can't accept it," that's okay too. Sometimes saying no comes with fear of missing out, sadness, or guilt, but that's okay. We're here to support you either way. Remember, there's no wrong answer—just listen to your gut.

Saying no is hard, but sometimes it's the best choice for your practice and your peace of mind. In this episode we talk about recognizing when to step back and how to manage the fear of missing out. 

How important is it to identify what is driving your business forward? I mean, does it matter what first started you out on your journey? Does it matter if you were following your dreams, simply being pragmatic, or maybe even, following someone else's? As long as you're committed, that is, surely you can still be successful, right? In my view, the answer to that would have to be, well maybe 🤔, but could you ever truly be fulfilled? And could you really give your everything to simply fill a gap in the market, or follow a vision created by another? When I was interviewed for the graduate entry programme of the Greater Manchester Police, I was asked how ambitious I was, so I simply answered truthfully, 'I'm as ambitious as far as fulfillment goes, for that is far more important in my book than 'success at any cost'! And now, as I see Succeed From The Start fulfilling my dreams, I know it's because at the very heart of the business, are the people who make up the membership. It is they who are most important to me; their success that will cause me to celebrate, and I will do everything within my power to make it happen! #success #businessgrowth #community #collaboration #succeedfromthestart

Lawyers, let’s be frank. You can’t build a sustainable book of business by: ❌ Attending one business development training per year ❌ Occasionally meeting with a mentor ❌ Going to a couple of networking events ❌ Waiting for a partner to retire If you want to engage more clients, advocate for yourself, and get that seat at the table, you need to take an active role in your business development. It’s the key to making a partner, becoming a thought leader, and having a portable book of business. 💼 Your future is in your hands! The good news? Many firms are willing to support 1:1 business development coaching so you can figure out exactly what works for you—whether it’s your schedule, target audience, or long-term goals. 📈 I was 14 years into my legal career before I even knew business development coaching existed. It changed my career trajectory. 🌟 It’s never too early or too late to start building your path. The sooner you start, the sooner you can reach your goals. 💪 PS: I’ve got a couple of 1:1 coaching spots open this month. DM me if you’re ready to take control. 📩 #Lawyers #BusinessDevelopment #Attorneys #NetworkingTip #LegalMarketing #sternbergcoaching #drumlinstrategies

Thank you to i-Tech for Schools for a wonderful opportunity to present #HowToBeATopNotchBoss at the #OrlandoLearningSummit this past weekend. It was a pleasure meeting crews from all around #Florida. As it is every year, it was a joy to attend! Also, a big #shoutout to Steve Whitaker, Ph.D., Head of The First Academy for an inspiring #keynote on the importance of relationships. Evelyn McCulloch Michael Rinyu Brian Cox Daniel Brennick #OLS IndySchool Consultancy A few #takeaways from my presentation: 👉 First and foremost, I want to acknowledge my #inspiration for much of the presentation. A huge #thankyou to Will Guidara, author of #UnreasonableHospitality, and Kim Scott, author of #RadicalCandor for writing such great source material! Genuises! 👉 For your business to come first, you have to #putyourpeoplefirst. If your staff is not invested, you're going nowhere fast. 👉 As Guidara states, "One size fits one." How have you developed a relationship with each individual who reports to you? Have you had the opportunity to recognize this person with "unreasonable hospitality"? You MUST be intentional about building relationships. Put thought into it, don't just wing it. Allow for creativity and innovation within the group, but don't just give it lip service; if there are parameters, let them know then support them in every way you can. 👉 To build on this, we turn to Scott, who says we must care personally and challenge directly. Begin by turning the microscope on yourself. Let your staff know your goals for the team, encourage feedback for yourself first, and begin building those 1:1 relationships. 👉 Remember, to be clear is to be kind. Once there is #trust, it is the responsibility of the boss to understand that, while perhaps difficult, you are not growing your team or the individuals within it if you allow below-par performance to continue. It needs to be addressed as soon as possible. 👉 Always look for the "unscripted" moments from which you can learn more. Make sure you walk around and have brief 3-5 minute conversations regularly with the people you run into, or as Scott suggests, walk a possible candidate to the car. What did you learn? 👉 Take the time to say thank you. Written thank yous rarely happen anymore; be the person who brings it back. It is truly appreciated by staff to know you will take the time to acknowledge them by sitting down to think about them and their accomplishment and write notes. 👉 Finally, treat your staff like adults.
