We've all seen it in the movies. A character has an invisibility cloak, or drinks a potion, or perhaps turns into a ghost. And then, oooh how tantalizing, they can see what goes on when they're not around.Well as our latest guest explains it, we shouldn't just think of that kind of moment as some sort of sci-fi fantasy. We should work as if we're trying to optimize that conversation.As she puts it – “It's about what people say when you are not in the room.”To hear the story behind that lesson, along with many more lesson-filled stories, I talked to Allyson Havener, Chief Marketing Officer, TrustRadius [https://www.trustradius.com/].Stories (with lessons) about what she made in marketingCreating a category is one of the most difficult GTM strategies, but if you have enough conviction, time, and money to pull it off, it's worth itDone is better than perfectIt's about what people say when you are not in the roomAlign marketing initiatives to revenueLead marketing strategy with the voice of your customersPartner to understand the investment needed for growth while also achieving profitabilityDiscussed in this episodeGet Productive With AI – Join us on November 20th at Noon EST.

In today’s solo episode, I (Ang) am getting a bit personal while I share a few things that I wish someone had told me when I first started my entrepreneurial journey. And if that’s where you’re at right now; this episode is for you!To start - let me be clear - I have zero regrets. It was all great learnings. But in today’s episode I want to share with you the five things I wish I had known when just getting started with my business. You don’t have to have a degree in what you want to pursue - in fact when was the last time somebody asked to see that piece of paper? I caused myself a lot of stress, feeling of unworthiness because like many of you - we are raised to believe that in order to be successful we have to be a part of an education system from kindergarten, to middle school to university , etc.Stop caring what other people will thinkSeriously. We all know that everybody has an opinion but we need to remind ourselves that the ones who are truly rooting for us will cheer us on at every stage of our journey. And it is important to remember that you’re not going o be everybody’s cup of tea and in most cases- your friends, family, neighbours colleagues may not understand what it is that you’re building and that’s OK. But don’t let negative comments, or their confusion halt you on your path.Done is better than perfectIt’s amazing how much time can be spent obsessing over things until they are perfect. I feel like I spent wayyyyy too much time on the little things - where nobody was paying the much attention to. I could have let go on a few things and really focused on what was needed and.a priority. Stop trying to be everything to everyoneSeriously - I had so many opportunities where I should have said, “no” but like many, I didn’t feel that I was in a position to turn away dollars. However, I can see now that if I had niched down and really focused on who it was that I wanted to serve, I could have propelled my business faster. We’ve said it so many times, “if you are talking to everyone, you are talking to no one.” Do not undervalue your time and services. Oh man - ever feel icky when sending a quote or an invoice? Or have you ever changes your pricing because you just assumed that there’s no way your client would pay that much? Or have you ever invested more time than what it was worth because you wanted to impress? Yeah - been there, done that. I wish my fairy godmother came striking down with her wand and slapped me across the backside and said, “do not ever undervalue your skills, talents and time.” I hope this resonates with you, or I’ll show up with my magic wand at your house! Where are you at in your journey? I’d love to hear if any of these were helpful!Check us out on Instagram @thesocial.focus Have a question for us?

ABA Model Rule 1.1 states that a lawyer shall provide competent representation to a client. While this duty has existed for a while, the more recent addition of Comment 8 to Rule 1.1 makes it essential for lawyers to “keep abreast of changes in the law and its practice, including the benefits and risks associated with relevant technology[.]” This demands a shift in the way lawyers approach their understanding and use of technology in their legal practices. Joining me today to discuss the intersection of technology and ethics is Ivy Grey, bankruptcy attorney, legal tech writer, and creator of American Legal Style for PerfectIt, which is a legal specific proofreading program for lawyers that runs within Microsoft Word.  What You’ll Learn in This Episode: What ABA Model Rule 1.1, specifically comment 8, requires of lawyers Why it is no longer efficient or even acceptable for lawyers to be luddites What the ABA Model Rule 1.1, Comment 5 add to the discussion? What does it mean to be “competent” according to the Model Rules? Even if you’re delegating work to your staff or junior attorneys, are you still required to be competent? What are the six basic technological areas that help lawyers perform their work competently? What are some ethical failings of not understanding the basics of using technology? Being technologically competent doesn’t require you to code or understand blockchain The role that understanding the basics of technologies plays in helping you understand the substance of your clients’ cases If you choose to manually perform work that can be automated, you might be in an ethical grey area, according to the ABA Model Rules 1.5 What Model Rules 5.1 and 5.3 require of you when it comes to ethical supervision and delegation How does the duty of competence govern your interactions with third party vendors, like website developers?

Laptops are kind of like that greener grass; they always look shinier in someone else’s hands. But switching around your technology, whether it’s transitioning to using Macs or deciding to use a tablet, could be more work than you think. In this episode of New Solo, host Adriana Linares talks to Joe Patrice talk about what it really looks like to switch from Windows to Mac and the advantages and disadvantages of using tablets for your business. Sprinkled into their conversation are tips about buying new tech tools, switching to the cloud, and where you can find small firm content on Above The Law. Joe Patrice is an Editor at Above the Law where, for him, making snide remarks about other lawyers is at least as fulfilling as motion practice. Special thanks to our sponsors, Clio, Answer1, PerfectIt, and Unbundled Attorney.

Microsoft Word has a feature specifically for creating a table of authorities but many are still intimidated when it comes to using the software. In this episode of New Solo, Legal Office Guru Deborah Savadra joins host Adriana Linares to explain the details of creating tables of authority in Word. They review everything from dialog boxes and categories to styles and pagination. They also discuss the complaints they hear the most and the easiest ways for lawyers to save time and prevent mistakes while using Word’s tables of authority software.
