Who Are Your Clients?

In today’s episode I’m asking you all “who are your clients”?   I've gotten a lot of questions recently about how to serve clients, take care of oneself and family, while creating financial wealth? It's almost like the idea of helping people who are poor is so foreign to the legal profession that people who want to do that work also assume that what comes along with the legal profession is affluence, abundance, financial success. It's not true, but that's the perception.   This leads to the thought that, “if I do anything outside of what's customarily done in the legal profession, if I go outside of serving the rich, I really can't make myself money,” and that is absolutely false.   Tune in and I’ll explain why.   In this episode we discuss: Differences selling to the affluent versus those that on the face of it can’t afford your services. Strategies to be financially successful while still giving back to your community. Putting your mask on first while building your success. How the obligation to give as a condition of your receiving, is emotional manipulation. The Universal Law of Reciprocity and having expectations for something in return when giving to others. Systematizing your business to be more efficient to be able to reach your financial goals.   Allison Bio:   Allison C.

Right. So we talked about self-interest in the fact that all people are driven to help other people out of self-motivation, right? Even when you are genuinely thinking about other people as you are standing at the soup kitchen or as you are leaving an extra-generous tip or as you are dropping off clothes to the Goodwill right. You're doing that for someone else, but do not believe that you are not also doing it for yourself.
