    control?
  3. Are you looking for practical ways to grow your personal revenue?

For attorneys who are serious about growing their practice and becoming more proficient at business development
We get a lot of inquiries from individual attorneys looking for ways to grow their practice.  They want to achieve breakthroughs in their business development performance, or boost their earnings, but don’t know where to turn. So we looked around for them, and found that most of the available seminars, books and legal media offer only piecemeal advice of dubious quality. There is currently no consistent, reliable resource for ambitious and serious-minded lawyers to get the ongoing advice, counsel and support they seek. 

For attorneys interested in gaining practical, real world best practices in business development throughout the year
To address this need, we are launching ORIGINATE!, a new online monthly newsletter dedicated to helping individual  attorneys build their personal practice. This newsletter will deliver practical real-world strategies and proven tactics, the best methods used by top attorneys now to land clients, sell work and strengthen relationships. And we have assembled a set of contributors to make ORIGINATE! your practice-building asset of unparalleled depth and breadth.  Their articles are available exclusively for our subscribers and will not be published elsewhere.

We have found that most attorneys can develop the skills that will make them more proficient at business development. Success just requires a commitment to learn these skills over time, to change what you are doing, to try new approaches and attitudes. And it requires an investment of time, energy and money to grow professionally.
