We just wrapped our last-ever launch of WAIM Unlimited. All while 7 months pregnant, grieving the loss of two family members, troubleshooting a broken-down car, a 5-hour medical snafu, and somehow still exceeding our high goal for our launch. Let's break it all down.In this episode, we're going to cover:What actually worked (and didn't) across email, Instagram, affiliates, YouTube, and moreA surprise takeaway about boosting IG ReelsThe total revenue, MRR, and where we spent moneyHonest reflections on marketing, momentum, and managing real life during a major launchIf you're curious about what went into a “final launch” of a signature program, the tactics, the lessons, and everything we did to beat our high goal this one is for you.***

In this episode, I'm unpacking a pattern I see so many lawyers fall into: chasing success. For most of us, success is defined by the message we receive from our culture. Those success markers are usually money, status and possessions. External markers of success won't give you what you're really looking for. Success isn't something you achieve. It's who you are. It's your birthright. In this episode of Be a Better Lawyer, you'll learn: ✅ The emotional cost of chasing success  ✅ Why you'll never have enough if you believe you need to prove you're successful ✅ Why feeling fulfilled has nothing to do with your resume — and everything to do with your attention You don't have to wait until you reach the next milestone to feel peace, satisfaction, or joy. When you start noticing the beauty in the everyday — when you become present to the links in the chain that make your life possible — you begin to create from a place of fulness and abundance, not lack.   Ready to take what you're learning on the podcast even deeper?   WORK WITH DINA Dina helps lawyers like you take control of your practice, find fulfillment and create a life you love.

In this episode, I dive into the importance of planning, even when uncertainty looms. Drawing from my experience coaching a client and working in retail, I emphasize that having a plan provides direction and makes adapting easier than starting from scratch. I break down three calendar blocking techniques: Specific time blocks (precise task scheduling)Large time blocks (broader time slots with detailed task descriptions)Flexible time blocks (adaptable scheduling around available time)The key is to avoid leaving your calendar blank just because you're waiting on potential commitments. Instead, I recommend proactively mapping out your day, considering potential client meetings or unknown variables. By planning around these uncertainties, you can maintain productivity and feel more in control. I share a practical example of how to approach a day with potential client scheduling, suggesting ways to allocate time effectively. This episode underscores that planning isn't about creating a rigid schedule, but about giving yourself a framework for success! Free Resources:Join 30 Day Calendar Blocking Blueprint and finally feel in control. ​Click here to join the next round. ​Are you a business owner making $100,000+ and still wearing all the hats? ​Click here​ to learn about my upcoming 12-week Outsourcing Mastermind.Are you an aspiring or newer business owner who needs some accountability and clarity on the next steps? ​Click here​ to join my 6-month accountability group - Simplify.

Trying to stick to complicated time management systems without any breaks can eventually lead to burn out. But if you stop organizational efforts altogether, your life can become a stressful mess. In this episode, Cal taps the wisdom of an elite running coach to devise what he calls one-page productivity: a minimum time management system, meant to be run for limited periods to help you recharge, but that also maintains just enough organization that you can avoid disaster.
