Show Notes
Ben Glass, founder of Ben Glass Law and Great Legal Marketing, believes that lawyers should prioritize their own happiness and well-being instead of solely focusing on serving their clients. He emphasizes the importance of marketing and building a strong team in creating a successful legal practice. Glass's marketing strategy is to offer free resources to potential clients before they hire him, which establishes trust and shows that his firm has experience in handling cases like theirs. He also uses a "shock and awe box" to send potential clients more information if they are not yet sold on his services.
Glass's approach to managing his law firm and coaching other lawyers is informed by his experiences as a father of nine and a high school soccer referee. He recommends eliminating bad spends in advertising and marketing programs and taking the time to read marketing books to improve their approach. Glass wants to create a cool place to work where people can make a lot of money, love the culture, and recruit the next one into the business.
Glass believes in starting and showing up differently, even if it means playing a position you've never played before. He emphasizes the importance of mindset and challenging ingrained beliefs, but acknowledges that it can be difficult to do so on your own. Glass recommends joining a mastermind group, coaching group, or finding like-minded individuals in your community to challenge yourself and improve.
He also suggests finding individuals who are the 20 percenters in the country who think about marketing and business in interesting ways. Glass believes in being a leader of tribal leaders and expanding his network to be a resource for potential clients who need legal services. He emphasizes the importance of not neglecting referral sources and continuing to build relationships with them even as a business becomes more successful. Glass believes that by adopting these practices, lawyers can create happier, thriving lives for themselves and their families.
