Marketing Resources That Can Elevate Your Law Firm

Whether you’ve been running the show at your law firm for years or you’re just starting out, it might feel like you’re swimming through a raging river, desperately trying to find air to breathe. Once you find that moment to catch your breath, you might find yourself back in the rapids, struggling to stay afloat.

Unfortunately, this is the reality for law firm owners. From managing employees to trying to conquer marketing, it can all be very challenging and stressful.

But maybe it’s time to put your ego aside. Let’s face it: even the most experienced professionals need guidance.

Maybe it’s time to find help from people that get it; from people who know the struggle, from people like me.

While attending my seminars, listening to my podcasts, and even looking throughout my blogs, just like this one, can be huge strides in the right direction, I invite you to learn even more. I invite you to boost your knowledge from many different angles.

All thought-leaders have different approaches; all experts have different ideas. It’s up to you to use those ideas and put them to action. It’s up to you to harness your abilities, then produce results that can take your law firm to new heights.

In this post, I’ll discuss a few marketing resources that are definitely worth checking out. I’ll provide a list of books, podcasts, and conferences that you should consider RIGHT NOW.

I stand by this list firmly, and these resources have certainly helped me to get to where I am today. And I guarantee they can help YOU TOO.

Start With Why, by Simon Sinek

The year was 2009, and Simon Sinek developed a movement to boost inspiration at work for employees, which would ultimately also inspire their fellow team members and customers.

For the next 10+ years, Simon’s ideas have touched millions.

In fact, his TED Talk based on this book has been watched by over 28 million people, which is the third-highest viewed TED video of all-time.

Start With Why jumps into a realm that many people aren’t familiar with. He touches on the fact that many great leaders throughout history have a similar way of thinking, acting, and communicating.

Sinek calls his idea The Golden Circle, and this is a framework that helps organizations build into something amazing. But there is one theme throughout this book: it all starts with WHY.

Content Marketing World Conference and Expo

This is one conference that is focused on a very key part of marketing: content marketing.

Content is what drives your law firm to get the brand out there, the messages out there; it provides a way for your customers to understand who you are and how you can help then succeed.
