    What Should I Charge? Fixing Law Firm Pricing When You're Busy but Margins Are Thin with Jacquette Timmons | Ep. 167
    Jan 19 2026
    In this episode of Great Practice, Great Life, Steve Riley brings back financial behaviorist and pricing strategist Jacquette Timmons to tackle the question that makes even experienced attorneys hesitate: "What should I charge?" When your firm is busy, but margins feel thin, pricing often isn't "wrong," it's inconsistent because the logic underneath it is unclear. You're working hard, saying yes to work, and staying booked, but the income doesn't match the effort. Jacquette challenges the common advice to "charge what you're worth" and explains why tying fees to your identity creates stress, guilt, and second-guessing. Instead, she reframes pricing as a business decision: you are not your offer, and your fees should reflect the value and outcomes your services create not your personal worth. She also introduces a practical way to diagnose what's really happening in your firm: treat your services like an offer portfolio. When you look at each service as an asset, you can see which offers truly function as profit centers, which drain time and energy, and whether your marketing dollars are pushing the work that's least profitable. If you want law firm pricing that supports profit, future capacity and a sustainable life, this episode offers a clear, human-centered reset. In this episode, you will hear: Why "charge what you're worth" undermines pricing confidence Separating personal identity from business offers Viewing services as a portfolio instead of a menu Average revenue per case vs actual profit per case How pricing decisions shape marketing spend and client mix The financial, personal, and emotional layers of every pricing conversation Subscribe & Review Never miss an episode.

  • 2026 Goal Setting for Lawyers Part 2: Design Your Lane and Stay Focused | Ep. 166

    2026 Goal Setting for Lawyers Part 2: Design Your Lane and Stay Focused | Ep. 166
    Jan 12 2026
    You can have the best intentions in the world, but without focus, they won't turn into results. In Part 2 of this two-part series, Steve Riley helps lawyers move from insight to execution by designing a practical structure for 2026. Instead of piling on resolutions, Steve makes a counterintuitive case for choosing just two goals: one Great Life goal and one Great Practice goal. Nothing more. He explains why this kind of restraint isn't limiting, it's liberating, and why it dramatically increases the odds of real change. The episode builds on the driving framework introduced in Part 1. Your written goals are the map. Your attention is the steering wheel. Your working memory is the windshield. And your weekly structure is the lane that keeps you moving forward. Steve revisits the four "dangerous Ds" that derail high performers and shows why most lawyers aren't failing at discipline, they're failing at design. Steve then shares practical steering strategies for staying in your lane, including turning big annual goals into small, protected focus blocks, using simple "if-then" plans to recover quickly when distractions hit, and scheduling weekly reflection so you don't live the same year on repeat. Along the way, he shares memorable stories and hard-earned lessons, including why chasing every opportunity is like a dog trying to catch ten squirrels, and how many firm owners end up losing by winning when success comes at the cost of health, family, or energy. The episode also connects these ideas to the My Great Life Focus, designed as a weekly lane specifically for lawyers who want progress without burnout. If you've ever wondered why good years keep repeating instead of building momentum, this episode offers a clear, disciplined path forward and a practical way to design a year that actually moves the needle. In this episode, you will hear: Why great goals fail without focus, structure, and executionThe four dangerous Ds that quietly derail progressWhy choosing fewer goals leads to better resultsHow to design a personal lane that protects attention and energyTurning big annual goals into weekly focus blocksSimple steering strategies to stay on track without burning out Subscribe & Review Never miss an episode.

  • 2026 Goal Setting for Lawyers Part 1: Why Your Plan Gets Hijacked | Ep. 165

    2026 Goal Setting for Lawyers Part 1: Why Your Plan Gets Hijacked | Ep. 165
    Jan 5 2026

    Most lawyers don't struggle with setting goals. They struggle with protecting them.

    As a new year begins, many high performers find themselves frustrated, tired, and wondering why carefully written plans never quite survive real life. In Part 1 of this two-part series, Steve lays the groundwork for designing a stronger 2026 by first assessing what really happened in 2025. Before you set new goals, you need a structure that can actually protect them.

    Using a simple driving metaphor, Steve breaks goal execution into four core elements: your map, your steering, your windshield, and your lane. Together, they explain how distractions, interruptions, and cognitive overload quietly pull lawyers off track, often without them realizing it until months later.

    This episode is a strategy session, not a pep talk. It invites you to take a rearview mirror look at how you actually operated in 2025 so you can build a more resilient plan for 2026 that will not get hijacked the same way.

    Next week, tune in for Part 2, where Steve helps you set your 2026 goals and build the lane to protect them.

    In this episode, you will hear:

    • Goal setting versus goal protecting and why most plans fail
    • The difference between writing goals and actually doing them
    • Map, steering, windshield, and lane as focus fundamentals
    • How cognitive overload quietly derails execution
    • The four "Ds" that hijack attention during the year
    • Why 2025 wasn't a failure but was a teacher
