The way in which you are and the way in which you behave is not conducive in achieving the goals that you're setting out to achieve.

So your options are continue doing what you're doing and experiencing results that are not satisfactory to you,

because where you are is a product of the decisions you've made, or start changing something about how you make decisions and how you interpret information, your perspective on things,

and now you can start to actually grow and evolve. But you have to get fed up with the current status quo before

you'll do anything.

I'm Michael Mogul, founder and CEO of Crisp, the nation's number one law from growth company.

I've built my business through practice,

not theory. Crisp started with just $500 to my name and has grown to over eight figures in

revenue over the last few years, earning a spot on the Inc. 500 list of the fastest growing

private companies in America. Our approach has been to take everything we've learned about generating

massive growth within our own organization and help the country's most ambitious and committed law firm owners do the same for theirs. In each episode of this

podcast, I sit down with innovative market leaders from the legal industry and beyond to learn from

those who thrive in the face of adversity, challenge the status quo, and define what it means

to be a true game changer. This is Jessica, head of coaching strategy at Chris, and today we're flipping the script

for another special edition episode to get Michael's take on, how to cut through the clutter

and identify the feedback that will actually move the needle in your business, why the toughest

criticism is often the key to unlocking your next level of leadership, and how to take feedback from your peers without ever compromising your vision or losing control of your firm. Really what is the value of a leader? It's in judgment and there's going to be good feedback that you receive from trusted people and trusted individuals that have the results. And then there's going to be feedback that you receive from just the people in the stands, right, in the peanut gallery.

I'm going to give you advice.

I would not take advice from anyone that doesn't have the results. And generally, I wouldn't take advice from anyone I wouldn't trade places with. It depends on the source. But ultimately, this is more so around if you feel you know what's best for your firm, and it's your firm. You're the one in charge of making all the decisions. Maybe they're actually giving you really good advice because they're trying to help you.

And you're saying, no, I know better, even. Maybe they're actually giving you really good advice because they're trying to help you.

And you're saying, no, I know better, even though I am so much smaller and inexperienced, we're not growing and I don't know what the fuck I'm doing, yet I know better. Now, that is silly. That's absolutely silly. So that's just going to stall your growth. So again, there's nuance here. Depends on the source.

That's coming up on the Game Changing Attorney podcast.
