It’s Thanksgiving week - are you stressing about how you’re going to get all the legal work done around your family obligations and Thanksgiving meal prep? Trying to fit a full week of work into the short week so you don’t let anyone (but yourself) down? Wishing you could squeeze in a bit of vacation before the holiday season kicks into high gear? I have definitely been there - I feel ya, friends! But it doesn’t have to be that way! Proof: I’m writing this from family vacation in Ireland, where we will be for longer than a week. I am our trip planner, car travel navigator, and am fully engaged in family shenanigans. There’s no brain space or time in the plan for lawyering (nor do I want there to be!). I’m not working at all this week, other than writing this note and checking my emails. If something pops up that requires my attention, I can find a pocket of time to address it, but that isn’t at the center of my vacation plan the way it once was. It’s glorious, and necessary for me to show up as my best self when I’m working. Gwen Griggs and I built our firm ADVOS legal pllc with the understanding that vacation is part of how we sustain ourselves and our firm. We didn’t get it right the first try (or even the first few), but we did eventually figure it out, and we keep learning and improving everytime someone is O.F.F. (Off For Fun). I’m telling you - it’s worth the attention! The ability to be O.F.F. and away with my people, fully engaged in a grand adventure, several times a year, is a HUGE part of how I define my PROmance (the practice I love, that loves me back). So building the business model, team, client relationships, systems and tools to support that was critical. If meaningful time away from your work (without guilt and stress) is part of the picture of your PROmance, please check out ADVOS Pro ‘s O.F.F. and Away Planner and feel free to customize it to your needs. It’s available for free to members of the ADVOSphere (which is our free community for lawyers who want to build their PROmance - join us if you’re not already a member!). And if you’re feeling a bit frustrated that your firm isn’t delivering on your dreams, check out our PROmance Scorecard. It’s a great way to get clear on where you’re off track, and what to do about it. This Thanksgiving, among a whole bunch of other things, I’m grateful for a firm that delivers on what’s important to me, especially the part where I get to enjoy the spoils in the company of the people I love most in this world. I wish that for you, too, from the bottom of my heart. To your PROmance! Whit (with love from quirky, gorgeous, story-filled Kinsale in County Cork)

? Today is the day! ? We have been working SO hard to answer the call of lawyers who've told us that they are frustrated with their law practice, not making enough money, and feeling like everything is harder than it should be. And they're right - practicing law, running your own firm or book of business - it doesn't have to be so hard. ? It doesn't have to suck! ? That's why we created the Path to PROmance. It's for lawyers running their own firms or books of business, who want to LOVE the practice of law again, and to have it LOVE. THEM. BACK. The Path to PROmance lays out a simple, guided approach to achieving your PROmance. You don't have to figure out what to do or how to do it - you just take the PROmance Scorecard, and we'll lead you through the rest. Sound powerful and also peaceful? It is! When you join Path to PROmance, you'll have an incredible amount of 1:1 support (including onboarding support from Sarah Stroscio, a deep dive call with me or Gwen Griggs at the start of your membership and each quarter thereafter, and 1:1 coaching calls every other week, as well as access to us via DM). That means the guidance and accountability you've been craving are built in. You'll also have full access to all of our premium resources, including the Path to PROmance (6 modules of guided content, along with templates, scripts, worksheets and other resources to make the execution easy), our Premium Resource library, the P3 Method Course (a $497 value), and more. The content is there for you to access anytime, through the ADVOSphere (our online community platform). One of the best parts about the Path to PROmance, though, is that you become part of our Accelerator community. You'll participate in interactive Quarterly Strategic Planning workshops and Quarterly Themed Workshops with other members of our Accelerator offerings, and also connect with the community in our private Accelerator community spaces within the ADVOSphere. For solos and lawyers in small firms, this instant network of other like-minded lawyers can be really powerful!
