 “Being organized is not a one-time event, it is a state that requires a sustained effort. An effort that is not such when you have absorbed it as a habit.” – Francisco Saez
How many times in your life have you cleaned up your garage, closet, or any other part of your life and found things that you forgot you had? For me, countless times. Now think about your network of contacts. How many people do you know, with whom you have lost contact?

 Have you ever been to the doctor where the doctor has prescribed a treatment for your ailment before asking the important questions to find out what your ailment is?
If you have, you might want to consider seeing another doctor! Any good doctor will go through the important list of diagnostic questions before he or she prescribes the appropriate treatment. So why can it be so difficult for professionals in other lines of work to do the same thing when it comes to prescribing the right “treatment” to prospective clients? For those of you who did not make it to this year’s LMA (Legal Marketing Association) Annual Conference in Atlanta, you missed a great conference. It was well attended, which made it good for networking, and there was plenty of good content to absorb. Here are some of the highlights from my perspective.

I am not necessarily talking about our active clients, but the clients we have known for years but have not heard from in a long time.  It’s time to reset and plan for a successful 2018! How many of you are looking to improve your business this year? Some people are looking for ways to work more, others are looking to work less. Suffice it to say that many are wanting to work smarter. Whatever your situation may be, here are some helpful business development tips and reminders to set you on course for a successful year.
