The ILN is celebrating it’s 25th Anniversary this year, so I’ve been busy putting the final touches on our upcoming annual meeting in London, which is where it all began! So I’m grateful for today’s blog post from Jaimie Field, who has a great recommendation for you!

***

I can predict your future (even if you cannot):

If you are doing the same thing today that you were doing yesterday, and the day before, and the day before that, you will get what you have always gotten.

There is an oft used definition of “insanity”: Doing the same thing but expecting different results.

So how will you change your future? What will your practice look like in 6 months? A Year? Five?

If you cannot picture what you will be doing in your practice in the future, how can you know what steps to take to get there?

Part of Rainmaking success is about determining what you want for your life and making moves to head towards what you envision. Often, we spend our time either doing what others want us to do, or not knowing what we want to do. This leads to wasted hours of “random acts of marketing “and the spending of massive quantities of money with no return on investment.

Isn’t it time you determined what you want your practice to look like in future (both near and far)?

By determining what you want your practice to look like in the future, you can then decide what marketing and rainmaking tactics may work best to get there. Then take the steps to just do it (forgive the Nike commercial).

And if you need help figuring out what specific step to take send me an email.
