I know, that should read “positive mental attitude” but I’m having a little fun. And that’s the point. Life isn’t just about work and obligation, productivity and achievement. We’re not machines. We need rest and sustenance and fun. 

Put “have more fun” on your todo list. 

Last few days, I’ve been on a kick watching ai videos that recreate the music and themes from the 50’s and 60’s. There are tons of them and they are amazingly well done. They’re fun to watch because they harken back to a time when people seemed to enjoy life more than we do today. No doom and gloom. A better time (and better music, if I’m allowed to say so). 

However unrealistic these videos might be, they are fun to watch. And, let’s face it, optimism is good for the soul.

Speaking of that, I have a question for you. What are you optimistic about for your future? Specifically, the future of your law practice. 

Give it some thought. Here, I’ll give you some ideas.

Think about the fact that you are one decision away from a new level of success in your practice. One idea, one strategy, one change in what you currently do. That could be all it takes to take your practice to the next level.

It might be a new marketing campaign. Meeting a new business contact. Finally writing the book you’ve been talking about for years. Or freeing up two hours a week by letting go of a certain networking event that’s not working.

One decision could be all it takes to dramatically improve the direction of your career. What might it be?

You could be a single conversation away from converting a business contact into a big source of referrals. Turn that thought over to your subconscious mind to work on. Who might that be? What could you say to them? What kind of case or client could they refer? 

Fun to think about that, isn’t it? 

How about another?

Think about the notion that you are one email to “old” clients away from bringing in a lot of repeat business. 

What might you send or say to clients you haven’t worked with (or spoken to) in a long time to get them to hire you again? 

There is an answer.

More. 

You have a list of prospects. People who have never hired you but subscribe to your newsletter, read your blog, follow you on social, or otherwise know who you are. You could be one message away from attracting dozens of new subscribers, sign-ups for your seminar, or requests to talk to you about a legal issue. It could be a turning point that eventually doubles or triples your revenue.

What could you say or offer to make that happen? 

This isn’t fantasy. These are real possibilities. You should get excited about these thoughts and let them stimulate your creative juices. 

You don’t need to figure out everything immediately. The “how” will come. Right now, think about what you want, believe that you can have what you want, and have fun thinking about how good that makes you feel.

Now, if you will excuse me, I’m going to see if I can find some ai music recreations of the 70’s.
