YOU'RE NOT THEIR SAVIOR- What if your client's lack of progress doesn't mean you're doing something wrong? In this episode, we're untangling the false belief that a client's outcome is your responsibility. If you've ever felt pressure to “fix” someone or guilt when results don't show up, this is your permission slip to breathe. You are not the hero of their story—you're the guide. And that role is more than enough. If you've felt the weight of your client's progress on your own shoulders, today's episode is a reminder you need. You'll hear truth, encouragement, and a gentle but clear boundary about what's yours to carry: and what's not. KEY TAKEAWAYS: You are not responsible for your client's outcomes—you are responsible for your coaching process and presence. Progress doesn't always look like action. Holding space and planting seeds is powerful, even if fruit comes later. Releasing false responsibility helps you coach from peace, not pressure. LISTENER CHALLENGE: Take five minutes to reflect on one client success story and write it down. Let it ground you in what's true about your coaching and your impact. Then release anything you've been carrying that was never yours to hold.   Read this in the Life Coach Blog If you need help with this, book a session with me here: https://www.sterlingandstonementoring.com/businesscoaching   Become a Life Coach Figure Out Who to Coach Start Your Online Coaching Business Join the Coaching FB Community —> HERE Find me @coachlauramalone on IG —> HERE Your 5 star review on Apple Podcasts means a ton✨

Are you looking to transform your podcast into a true marketing powerhouse for your business? In this episode of Podcast Talent Coach, I dive into the world of virtual events with the incredible Steve Eriksen, founder of EventRaptor.   VIRTUAL EVENTS: YOUR SECRET PODCAST MARKETING TOOL 00:00 Engage Audience with Your Story 04:22 "Mastering Virtual Event Hosting" 08:32 Building Event Lists with Top Speakers 12:28 "Entrepreneurial Success Through Speaking" 16:44 "Set Deadlines for Accountability" 20:14 Clarity Boosts Sales: Simple Pricing 21:49 "Virtual Summits Drive Audience Engagement" 25:42 Summit Preparation: Key Considerations 30:48 Tailoring Talks for Different Audiences 33:27 Targeted Networking for Real Estate Professionals 35:53 "Service Bundles and Success Guarantees" 38:28 "Nine-Step Rapport-Building Framework" 42:09 Virtual Summits for Lead Conversion 45:46 "Weekly Coaching Invitation"   We reveal exactly how hosting and speaking at summits, masterminds, and online conferences can rapidly grow your email list, attract your ideal clients, and explode your authority in your niche. Virtual events are so much more than just another "networking" opportunity—they're a dynamic growth strategy. On this episode, you'll hear why they offer results no other channel can match.   THE COMPOUND POWER OF VIRTUAL EVENTS If you want leverage, you need to get in front of more people—faster. That's why I'm such a huge advocate of virtual events. When you speak at a summit or online masterminds, you aren't just building rapport with one person at a time. You're leveraging the audience of a host who's vouching for your expertise and putting you directly in front of people already interested in your topic. And when you host your own virtual summit, you don't just add 25 or 50 leads. You're suddenly adding hundreds or even thousands of the right people to your email list, letting you scale your business much more quickly.   AVOIDING COMMON VIRTUAL EVENT MISTAKES Steve Eriksen and I dig deep into what separates successful summits from virtual event disasters. We reveal why keeping things simple—for both your offers and your event organization—is key if you want real results. Steve shares powerful examples of mistakes to avoid, like confusing multi-tiered VIP offers that leave attendees unsure and uncommitted. Instead, you'll learn why clarity and a focused value proposition always win, and how offering a single irresistible option can drive thousands in summit revenue.   FIVE KEY ELEMENTS TO BE SUMMIT-READY You might be wondering: What do you really need to show up and win at a virtual event? Steve Eriksen is the Founder of EventRaptor - the BEST solution for making Virtual Event Management easy! In his previous role as the Chief Technology Officer for Mary Morrissey, a life coach certification organization with an 8-figure revenue, he was responsible for all the tech that went into their events with thousands of attendees. Steve now helps entrepreneurs with their event tech with EventRaptor. Steve breaks down the five-step system every podcasting entrepreneur should have in place. These include a strong lead magnet, a signature talk that plants your expertise in people's minds, a reliable follow-up sequence, an irresistible offer, and a simple sales conversion system. Whether you're hosting or guest-speaking, having this foundation will not only grow your email list but also turn new listeners into long-term clients.   BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS THAT LAST Podcasting and virtual events are about more than downloads and email addresses. They're about building meaningful relationships with your audience and fellow experts. Throughout this episode, I share how consistently showing up (even as a last-minute speaker) builds goodwill in the virtual event space, leading to more invitations, stronger JV partnerships, and more sales. If you're ready to establish trust, deepen engagement, and finally build a platform that delivers impact, this episode will give you the exact blueprint to make that happen. Don't forget to grab Steve's incredible “Get Summit Ready” checklist at www.PodcastTalentCoach.com/summitready, and start leveraging the transformational power of virtual events today!   If you would like my help to walk you every step of the way, go to https://podcasttalentcoach.com/strategy-call/.

In today's episode, I tackle one of the most frustrating challenges lawyers face as they move up the ranks in Big Law: how to demonstrate value when you don't have origination credit. I've seen far too many talented attorneys get left out of compensation conversations, passed over for opportunities, or feel stuck because they seemingly rely on others to bring in work—even when they're the ones clients actually trust.  I break down real-world strategies to change how you're perceived inside your firm and with recruiters, even if you're not the billing or relationship partner on paper. I also walk through how to make a compelling lateral case without a traditional book of business and how to think long-term about origination in a way that keeps your options open and your standing strong. At a Glance:  00:00 Introduction and why origination or billing credit is a key challenge for BigLaw partners 01:20 The importance of finding a way through the origination credit problem 03:04 What to say when firm leadership questions your contribution 04:05 How to revive slowing client relationships and demonstrate business impact 06:15 When leadership doesn't see the full picture, and how to correct the record 06:56 Making a lateral move without a traditional book of business 07:36 The three strongest arguments for portable work without official billing credit 09:26 How to pitch yourself when someone else controls all client credit 10:02 The reality of working with a “credit hog” partner and what to do about it 11:08 Why high-value work still counts, even if your name isn't on the origination line 12:16 Building your value narrative for your current or next firm 12:57 Final thoughts and where to find more career resources Rate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts & Spotify Do you enjoy listening to Big Law Life?  Please consider rating and reviewing the show!

Is United States President Donald Trump leading his nation into economic ruin and authoritarian dystopia or correcting its course after decades of inertia? Republican strategist James Davis and Democratic strategist Joel Rubin tell host Steve Clemons that Trump has delivered on his promise to “shake the place up”. But not all Americans believe that the economic pain caused by trade wars will lead to long-term gain. With the Democratic Party in tatters, there is no alternative vision for the country on the horizon, leaving Americans wondering about rising costs and eroding freedoms.

In this episode of Great Practice, Great Life®, we flip the script and put thought leader Steve Riley in the guest seat to answer a powerful question: What does it really take to start or grow a law practice in 2025 while staying true to your vision, your values, and your well-being? Guest host Glenn Gutek and Steve explore the dynamic and ever-evolving landscape of the legal profession, discussing how rapid changes in technology, politics, and economics contribute to the anxiety and stress attorneys face today. Steve shares insights on how lawyers can maintain a healthy balance between their professional commitments and personal well-being. He emphasizes the importance of navigating these challenges while maintaining a clear vision. Glenn and Steve's conversation also explores the role of vision protection in achieving greatness. It's easy to lose sight of one's aspirations amidst the daily grind, but they emphasize the importance of nurturing one's vision and legacy through strategic action. The fast-paced world, full of social media distractions, requires focused attention and control over where we direct our energy. Steve addresses the detrimental effects of “hurry sickness.” He stresses the importance of pursuing meaningful visions, encouraging attorneys not to settle for mediocrity and to maintain high standards in both their personal and professional lives. As we navigate the influence of AI on the legal profession, we discuss its impact on traditional business models and billing practices. AI offers efficiencies that challenge the billable hour model, compelling law firms to reassess how they provide value to clients. Steve discusses the trend toward hyper-niching, where attorneys can specialize in highly specific subspecialties, enhancing their practice with AI-driven tools. This episode provides invaluable guidance for lawyers seeking to adapt and thrive amidst the changing legal landscape, making it a must-listen for anyone invested in the future of legal practice.

Ostenson, who has a rich background in franchising both as a franchisor and a franchisee, sheds light on the appeal of non-food franchises, from home and property services to health and wellness, and how they offer a stable and lucrative avenue for entrepreneurs.
