While not exciting, I’ll begin this Rainmaking Recommendation as I have the last three, because I am hoping that this is getting tattooed on your brain: The Rainmaking Cycle is a continuous circuit that is about 3 things: Creating visibility and becoming known as an authority in the field of law that you practice – […]

October 22, 2020 by Leave a Comment
Exactly as I began the last Rainmaking Recommendation, so I reiterate: The Rainmaking Cycle is a continuous circuit that is about 3 things: Creating visibility and becoming known as an authority in the field of law that you practice – this is known as Marketing yourself and your services; Meeting people – whether in person or virtually – who […]

In many different blogs and Rainmaking Recommendations, I have said – repeatedly, that Rainmaking is about 3 things: Creating visibility and becoming known as an authority in the field of law that you practice – this is known as Marketing yourself and your services; Meeting people – whether in person or virtually – who want or need […]
Rainmaking Recommendation #221: The Myth of the Overnight Success
October 8, 2020 by Leave a Comment
In the almost 20 years I have been a Rainmaking Trainer and Coach, I have worked personally, one-on-one, with hundreds of attorneys.

And make no mistake, procrastination is both a habit, and according to Mel Robbins, the author of the 5 […]
Rainmaking Recommendation #219: One Hundred (100)
September 24, 2020 by Leave a Comment
The number 100 has been coming up for me a lot today. Today, Time Magazine released its Time100 Most Influential People 2020 and I am not sure why I am not on it. (That’s a joke – for now, but I’m working on it.) As of today, September 23, 2020, we have exactly 100 days left of […]

September 16, 2020 by Leave a Comment
In a very weird walk down the Yellow Brick Road to the Emerald City to ask the Wizard for new clients and matters, members of the executive committee of Gale, Scarecrow, Tinman and Lion, LLP, a 100+ lawyer firm are chanting “Pandemics, Politics, and Recessions, Oh my,” over and over again through their masks. James […]
Rainmaking Recommendation #217: What Fears are Keeping You from Becoming a Rainmaker?
September 9, 2020 by Leave a Comment
Fear. We all have fears. In fact, I am a trypanophobe and an arachnophobe – which sounds a hell of a lot more impressive than saying I am terrified of hypodermic needles and spiders. Both phobias have very weird roots in how they started. It has to do with a nightmare as a child (spiders) […]
Rainmaking Recommendation #216: What Rainmakers Do Differently Than Other Attorneys
September 2, 2020 by Leave a Comment
The things that Rainmakers do differently from other attorneys are very simple (but not necessarily easy): Rainmakers have a plan: If you have spent any time following me, you know I am a rabid believer in planning. You wouldn’t take a road trip to a place you have never been without GPS, so why should […]
