The Rain Maker - Enlightened Rainmaking Training & Coaching

06/09/2023

141 Days, almost five months; for some, it's as if I disappeared.

I've been away from my newsletter, blog, and social media for the past few months due to health reasons. I apologize for the lack of updates. While I am always teaching my clients to be authentic, I also teach them that they do not have to provide too much information about their personal lives if they do not want to. And as a very independent person, I have always tried to keep the negative things happening in my life to myself. I rarely ask for help because I was brought up to be self-sufficient.

But I am going to open up and let you know what has been going on for the past five months. To do so, we must go back in about a year and a half in time. Even though I don’t spend a lot of time discussing it, or writing about it, I was diagnosed with lung cancer in December 2021. And thankfully it was caught very early. I've never kept it a secret but I don't feel the need to lead my life with it. I just want to get rid of it.

However, after 2 surgeries, cyber-knife radiation treatments, and chemotherapy, it was discovered that the cancer had mutated and that conventional FDA-approved treatments wouldn’t help. At that time, I was put on a clinical trial to see if that would work.

Happily, the clinical trial was working – my tumors are shrinking, and no new tumors have grown/appeared.

Unfortunately, the clinical trial was also incredibly toxic to me and resulted in my being hospitalized twice and in bed for the past 8 weeks with a type of pneumonia. 141 days. That’s how long I have endured serious side effects from the treatment. It was so bad, that I have been unable to do much in my business or even in my life.

The good news: I was taken off the trial and am healing from all the negative side effects.

The better news: I am starting a different treatment that I am hoping gets me to where I want to be (cancer free) without the toxicity causing side effects.

The even better news: I am back to helping Mid-Market, Big Law, and Virtual Law Firm Attorneys become the Rainmakers they NEED to be (while achieving their billable hours) - particularly in this economic climate.

And the best news: There are going to be some amazing changes to The-Rain-Maker coming very soon (starting in July). These changes will help you build the book of business you want, capture all the billables you need, and help you be happy with your life. So be on the lookout!

Thank you to those of you who reached out during this time to see how I was. Your kind messages and well wishes have meant the world to me, and I'm truly touched by your continued support.

- You want to become successful ? What does that mean to you?

For 20+ years, the motto/tagline of The-Rain-Maker is Rainmakers are not Born, They are Taught. And I mean every lawyer on the planet. It just means you have to define what being a successful and person means to you.

Part of this is making sure that you have a goal plan in place for the next year. And the goals should be for all areas of your life.

- I may be harping on planning lately (and I have an offer in the text so keep reading), but the fact is that it is one of the most important aspects of . And while it shouldn't be the only thing you do, you need to have a plan, or you will be throwing proverbial "spaghetti against the wall to see if it sticks." That is, you will be trying everything and anything some "law firm business development guru" says will work, and when it doesn't provide immediate results, will move on to the next tactic.

Having goals and planning to achieve them is one of the best things you can do to build your practice and a great life.

GOOOOOOOALS!

Did you hear the soccer (football for my European friends) announcer screaming after one of the players puts it in the net?

If you are a fan of the game, you know how that sounds when a player scores a shot and maybe you feel excited for them. Well, imagine how excited you will be when you hit your business and personal development goals this year!

But if you have not written your goals down then you are not going to hit anything. It would be the equivalent of just kicking the soccer ball (football) around the field aimlessly and what's the fun of that?

Aim for the goal line by creating your own goals!

WHO WANT TO BE *

Setting goals is not about wishing, hoping, or dreaming.

In order to have a goal, something you wish to accomplish, you need to have a deadline by which you will achieve that goal.



(This week's Rainmaking Recommendation will be about HOW TO SET REALISTIC GOALS TO BUILD YOUR BOOK OF BUSINESS and will include a free 33-page book/template to help you create your 2023 goals for your business and life.

The Rainmaking Recommendation newsletter is sent to our mailing list one week before it is posted to the general legal public and this year will include offers and documents only available to subscribers. If you would like to receive the email and the Individual Rainmaking Template, please sign up at www.jaimiefield.com)

So you want to be a . You want to bring in new clients. That's awesome! The problem is that wishing, hoping, and praying for new clients is not a business development plan.

Instead, you have to start setting goals. And, you have to put a deadline on your goals. Because a goal without a deadline, as Napolean Hill has said, is just a dream.

Then create the tactics that will help you achieve those goals.
