Episode 109: Achieving Freedom As A Lawyer
Are you merely successful on paper or a happily successful lawyer? There’s a difference. Maybe you’ve achieved paper success yet…
- Constantly worry about losing the next big case.
- Overthink your decisions (to the point where you give yourself more doubts than when you started).
- Second guess everything.
It’s not just that you have doubts and fears. They rule your mindset. And you can’t stop worrying about the what-if’s.
Today’s episode is for you.
Learn how to achieve true freedom as a lawyer from within (i.e., your mindset) from guest Gary Miles. And why it’s necessary if you want to become a happily successful lawyer.
Gary is a true gem with many lifetimes of wisdom wrapped into one. He’s had a long, successful (on paper) career – some of which as an active alcoholic and some as a recovering alcoholic. He wasn’t happy until he learned how to master his mind (and stop drinking).
Here’s What You’ll Learn In Today’s Episode:
- How drinking exacerbated his worries and fears (and the 180 mindset transformation that occured after he quit drinking).
- The most important mindset shift that enabled him to let go of his irrational fear of losing cases.
- How to not let failures define you.
- How to use your values as a guide for decision-making you feel good about.
- How to best deal with negative emotions and not let them take over (hint: don’t resist them).
- Why you’re never stuck, and what to do if you feel that way to get unstuck quickly.
