When Your Bills Are Paid

In this episode, we're going to talk about when your bills are paid. Yes, you read that correctly. What do you do when all of your bills are paid and you have a comfortable life? How do you keep yourself motivated? This topic is actually coming up because I've talked to a couple of lawyers recently who have been interested in joining the Law Firm Mentor community.  We are always looking for the right type of client for this community but, there is a certain type of solo and small law firm attorney we're looking for. In essence, it includes people who are looking to grow their businesses. There can be several end goals achieved when you are looking to grow your business, but in order to get there having a solid growth strategy is key.   In this episode we discuss: Keeping yourself motivated when money isn’t the main goal. Struggling to push yourself to achieve economic goals. Precepts about the idea of being financially satiated. How it is healthy to have multiple streams of motivation. The difference between extrinsic motivation and intrinsic motivation. Allison Bio: Allison C.

And if the first thing that comes up is I want to triple the number of people that I serve or I want to be able to open offices in the central and southern part of my state because I want to have a much bigger reach and a greater impact. Those things are just as valid as I want to make an extra five hundred thousand dollars this year. I want to put an extra million dollars in my pocket. I want to dramatically increase my retirement investments, right? So everybody has a slightly different purpose and a slightly different aim. And that's OK.
