6. Attorneys like to dither.
High “fact-finders” on the Kolbe Index, they like to analyze things. They want to do extensive due diligence. They want to consult with all their colleagues. They enjoy thinking about action more than taking action, with its attendant risks. But action conquers fear. Life rewards action and punishes inaction. Fortune favors the bold.<
Are you looking for a franchise opportunity which revolves round children? Why not consider a tutoring franchise. Your business and work consists of educating children out with school hours in the basics of English, spelling, reading & mathematics.You mainly help children between the ages of six and sixteen who through no fault of their own are having learning difficulties. Maybe they have just moved school, had health problems or are just emotionally upset. You can help them get back on track by providing the education that fills their gaps.Even if you are not looking to buy a franchise but would rather start a business on your own, then this is an ideal opport
Marketing requires faith and patience. Attorneys like to prod and poke a marketing effort until they can prove to their great satisfaction that there is no way it can work.

2. Attorneys love to argue.
Most lawyers are smart. When it comes to embarking on unfamiliar enterprises, like marketing, they find it difficult to “be stupid” and benefit from the wisdom and experience of other experts.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Attorneys are risk-averse.
The most prudent (and safest!) advice attorneys give is, “Don’t do it!” They live in a universe where mistakes result in liability, malpractice and large judgments. In marketing, mistakes are a necessary part of growth. Taking and managing risk are essential elements of marketing and growth. Attorneys like contracts and guarantees.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. Attorneys often know little about business.
Law school offered no courses on being business-owners. Any high school business student knows that marketing is an important and mandatory part of any business. This comes as a shock to attorneys who often conceive of themselves as belonging to some sort of 19th century guild. Attorneys were educated in an anti-marketing culture. They learned that they were in a “profession” where refi ned ladies and gentlemen did not make unseemly efforts to secure business. Such people were “ambulance chasers.” (The practice of law is a profession, but that practice takes place within a business entity called “a law fi rm” - subject to the laws of economics as any other business).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. Attorneys fixate on costs.
Most attorneys hate it when a prospective client plops themselves down in the lawyer’s offi ce and starts with “What’s all this going to cost?” Yet, that is the first question the attorney asks about marketing. Focusing on costs causes paralysis. Owners of law firms must focus on revenue generation and driving the top line.

Is Fundraising Just White Noise
It seems like we are continuously bombarded with fundraisers, special events and a barrage of activities to choose from. At times we can be exposed to as many as 20 special events in one week. With so much going on around us is fundraising simply lost in the crowd and suffering a dieing fate of being white noise?White Noise is defined as noise in which the intensity is the same at all frequencies within a ‘given band’. When we sit in church or drop our children off at school we are within that ‘given band’. So when we are shown option after option for fundraising our minds begin to block out all the options and we do nothing.The question now becomes how to f

I recently had the opportunity to speak at a regional conference for long-term care professionals. It was very exciting to be selected to speak and to share what I had learned about employee online and computer based education. Not to mention a little bragging about our new corporate education center.While I was waiting for my scheduled time to present I couldn’t help but notice how many speakers were not practicing administrators or directors of nursing. The session’s speakers were mostly consultants, academics or government experts.The underlining message the speakers were giving was buy my services and I’ll give you this information for a fee.

2007 will be a year of competition to fill jobs, especially for employers of 500 or fewer people. The United States average jobless rate is 4.5 percent; 3.5 percent is typically considered full employment. Twenty-six states are now below the national average and the pinch is on.Employers are having a tough time filling positions at all, so getting highly qualified help is a luxury. The competition is fierce for the best candidates. Companies need to be creative and aggressive to create positive conditions to attract the right people for their open positions.Attracting the Right EmployeeSmall businesses must evaluate what job candidates are seeking in an e

If you are considering a car wash fundraiser for your nonprofit group then you know you need to get people to help to wash the cars. This also means that you need to have lots of people who are willing to volunteer a sunny Saturday and work like dogs to clean people's cars. Car wash fundraisers are not easy and as Americans get more obese some people are unable to perform at carwash fundraisers.It helps to have carwash fundraisers with nonprofit groups that have kids in them like church youth groups or soccer teams. However, since carwash fundraising is a very good fundraiser to have other types of groups are also interested in having carwash fundraisers. But to do

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
8. Attorneys lack perseverance.
If attorneys do get around to trying some form of marketing, any bump on the road will throw them off. And there are always bumps in the road. Attorneys get excited about a new marketing program, and throw themselves into it passionately. Then after 45 days or so, life happens. A big case blows up. One of the kids gets sick. A check doesn’t come in. The marketing didn’t produce instant riches. The attorney decides he or she made a big mistake and gives up.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
9. Attorneys are uncomfortable with the idea of making money.
Most attorneys are motivated by a desire to serve people. Most subscribe to some form of the Judeo Christian ethic which is full of mixed messages about the pursuit of wealth. Most are conflicted, if not filled with guilt, about the profi t motive. Many secretly think that what they do is not worth the fee they charge, since it does not involve hours of hard, physical labor. These attorneys might be more motivated if they were to think about marketing and growth as “being able to serve the greatest number of people” rather than “making more money” or “being more successful.”
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
10. Attorneys define themselves as attorneys — not as owners of a law firm.
This is the single most important error, and it is a contributing factor in all the others listed here. Attorneys do not understand that these are two completely different roles that require two completely different mind-sets and two completely different sets of skills. What attorneys believe to be their greatest asset (their skill at practicing law) is actually their greatest liability. They are too busy working in their business to work on it. In order to grow a practice and succeed, it is necessary for attorneys to conceive of themselves first and foremost as the owner of a business called a law firm, and only secondarily (if at all) as a practicing attorney.
