Ever feel like you’re working harder than ever but not seeing the success you deserve?  Most driven lawyers think they just need to push through the pain of grueling hours and end the day feeling demoralized. Demoralized because, despite all that effort, it feels like you've achieved so little. Yes, you're making money, but your life feels out of control. Without even realizing it, you may be blocking the success that’s yours for the taking. The problem isn't that you aren't working hard enough. The real problem is what's going on in your big beautiful brain. 🧠 Mindset is everything, my friend. Success isn’t just about making money—it’s about creating a life of abundance and well-being. And that kind of success requires a different way of thinking. When you shift your mindset, opportunities open up in ways you never imagined. You're better able to handle the most difficult problems and create solutions. And you create a life you actually love living. These simple yet powerful shifts I'm sharing are the solution to unlocking the success you’ve been working so hard for. ​ It's time to take control of your practice and your future. Listen in and watch how shifting your mindset transforms everything for you.   WORK WITH DINA Dina helps lawyers take control of their practice, find fulfillment and create a life they love.

Just the thought of someone saying "No" to us can prevent us from asking for what we want and building the life and practice we want. In this episode of Be a Better Lawyer podcast, I'm addressing three areas I see the fear of rejection come up a lot with my clients. Left unaddressed, the fear of rejection can cripple you and make your life a shadow of what it could be. Today we're talking about: selling your services raising rates asking for what you want And I've thrown in a bit of relationship rejection examples as well for good measure. Listen in to learn how to reframe rejection, so you can create the life and law practice you were meant to have.
