Oh, here's the third secret. Be authentic and be yourself. And what I mean by that is that you are your own personal brand and brands build overtime. They build with consistency and quality. So you have to decide for yourself, how do you want to cultivate your own personal brand and credibility? Think about this, what would you want? A person who has interacted with you personally or professionally to think about when they think of you. What kind of traits do you want people to identify you with? And the key is really to be consistent in those interactions. Don't be one thing for someone and the total opposite for another. So for me, it was important that I be meticulous as a lawyer, but not to a fault, to be deliberate in my responses to him, my clients, and not be reactive and jump to conclusions. Just because I thought that the client would want to hear the good news first. So what I got was an unflappable demeanor but thoughtful in my responses. So it's really up to you to decide what you want that identity to be. Here's another tape on this from another attorney. What are my secrets of success? I am brave. That means when things get difficult, I stand my ground. It also means that I recognize I have weaknesses and I do my best to confront them. I am tenacious. As an immigrant, I will always find a path forward and most likely it will not only be the path less traveled. It will be the path that no one else sees. I have incredible gratitude to everyone in my life. There have been so many turning points, so many times that things could have got turned out badly. Yet here I am with a wonderful family, both at home, at work and in the South Asian bar. You are all my blessing and I'm so lucky to have you. Any secrets to success is attention to detail. Not having typos in a document. Double checking statutes, citations, case law if there's numbers involved, making sure the math works. It sounds so simple and so silly, but it is so important. If you have one or two typos in a document, you're going to have your client questioning what else is wrong, like if you're not careful. And the easy things, how can you be careful on the hard things like the analysis, once you lose their confidence in you, it is so hard to get it back. And oftentimes you will not get it back because they have so many awesome people to choose from, right? So it's, it's the little things. Another thing is trying to make their, the client's job easier, right? Doing the work so they don't have to work hard. And by clients, I mean partners, your supervisor, the judge, other folks, right, who are going to be looking at your work product. You want to make it as user friendly as you can. So if there's an executive summary, you can add, add it if it's going to be helpful. If there's a statute, you can attach the language included if there's a case. You know that that that might be helpful. Include the case so they don't have to go looking for it. Sometimes a flow chart is the most helpful way to to to make their job easier, or a spreadsheet. Figure out what is the what's going to be most useful for them. Make their life easier. The more you do that, the more they're going to keep coming back to you. And once that happens, that is success.

The two most common questions asked when the firms I speak with bring up the topic of LinkedIin. 𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝟭 How do we get our lawyers to post if they don't want to? 𝗔𝗻𝘀𝘄𝗲𝗿 You don't 𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝟮 We're concerned that if an attorney at the firm builds a personal brand and large following, they might leave the firm. How do we avoid that? 𝗔𝗻𝘀𝘄𝗲𝗿 Treat them well and pay them accordingly. 𝗕𝗼𝗻𝘂𝘀 𝗙𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄-𝘂𝗽 𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝟯 But what if they still leave, and we lose out on all the business they were generating? 𝗔𝗻𝘀𝘄𝗲𝗿 You can't expect to keep all the benefits of said personal brand without carrying any of the risks. That's how this goes. It might be a tough pill to swallow. But it's pretty straightforward. 💊 #lawyers #attorneys #lawfirms

Your personal brand is the sum of these perceptions—how people experience you. Consistently work on enhancing your self-image, expertise, and reputation. This trifecta ensures endless referrals and propels your brand forward. 💼 #PersonalBrand #LawyerLife #Expertise #ReputationBuilding Valeria Torres Luis Scott
