Alright, final check in on these goals from 2023. How'd I do? What should I shoot for next year?:
1. 750k Revenue ❌- topped out this year at $644k in revenue. Short 106k. Thought I was going to be able to resolve 4 more cases this year that would have got me over that $750k
Here's my attempt at the DINK video.
My family is SIMKs. Single Income. Multiple Kids.
- I wake up at 4:15 everyday. I lift or cardio for 30-45 minutes.
- My wife wakes up at 6:15 every day. She lifts or cardio until 7:00. She's also 9 months preggo
- My 2 year old son wakes
I have a guess as to what Broke's charges are based on this tweet.
A BowTiedLawyer is here to assist, if needed.
Hope you hired a trial lawyer, Broke. There's some good ones in your neck of the woods.
Been advised by my attorney that I can’t speak about my case. But, I do have permission to post some BowtiedBroke wisdom & you can read between the lines.
As a father, your job is to ALWAYS protect your children from threat or harm.

Why would you block accounts that track either?

Biggest trial of my career (so far) in October.
Commercial contract case with potential for a seven figure verdict and seven figure fee.
By all accounts, one of the top defense lawyers in NE United States as opp. counsel. Formidable and polished. Playing on my home court, tho.
Anyone got any interest in these things? I wont make you an author or movie producer, but I can help you kill it at parties and make you more interesting
Had a rich uncle pass away 10+ years ago with a NW of $42 million (manufacturing and RE). Left all to wife/kids
Biggest thing about him looking back is how he did not stop working. Even with video game money, he kept working.
My guess is that most 8+ fig NW ppl are like him

Trial lawyers should/could be great copywriters:
-ID objections before they happen
-Tug at the emotional/reptilian side of people’s brains
-Deliver clear and concise arguments
-Develop sticky themes
All there in trial work. Problem is most are better speaking than writing

We played before my son was born. Between my law firm taking off a good bit the last two years and trying to wrangle my two year old, it’s been tough to get out there
People think lawyers get paid to know the law.
Half true.
I get paid for reasoning/persuading better than other lawyers. AKA “Sales”
You pay for my mind and the way I communicate.
Universal skill.
@BowTiedBull
Seems like a BowTied Directory would be in order. Site with descriptions of the account and the services/products/socials/newsletters/websites
Good use of treasury funds would be to drive traffic to directory site.
I think everyone should learn to read case law. Not for the law part.
Lawyers and judges have unique ways of drawing distinctions and picking apart arguments. Some of the reframes these judges do are impressive.
Huge benefit for those who learned to do it

Pet peeve: Hearing people toss around the word "Hearsay".

That's not Hearsay. That is a rumor.

But that was not your crowning achievement.
You decided you wanted to construct and conquer one more mountain.

Spent a few years on a slow pitch softball circuit. Was fun. After two years, made me sad.
Every man out there who took it serious peaked in high school, has no skills, and spends their weekends hunting down slow pitch tournaments.
Sad state of affairs
Hard lesson I learned playing sports:
Just being good is not enough. You have to get in front of eyes. Not just any eyes, but the right eyes. Can be difference between juco ball (me) and D1.
Business, especially service biz, is the same way.
Sat down at 2:30 today to start prepping for the deposition of a corp. rep. for a bowling alley. Hit the synth wave YouTube a la
@ROGUEWEALTH
.
It is now 4:45 and my outline for this deposition is glorious.
Flow.
So you did.
You found a wife (or husband) and brought children into the world.
You taught your kids what it meant to be a decent human. The importance of contributing to the world. The importance of community.
Rittenhouse thoughts:
1. 95% of the media and general public have no idea how court works = failure on the part of justice system/lawyers in it.

@ScottAdamsSays
"two movies, one screen" theory is still valid.
In a commercial fraud case right now. Dealing with a national defense firm. Big name.
Everything has been a pissing match. Every single thing. From getting an email response to scheduling depositions.
I swear these guys beat off to being keyboard lawyers
Not everything is going to go back up. Most of what's down is going to stay down and die.
Those things that do come back though, keep your eye on. You may get a chance at the buy of a lifetime
If this is your first dip/bear market/whatever the hell we are in, let me tell you a story/give some advice:
I got in crypto just before the 2017 run-up. Made some money that helped me get through times in law school where I didn't have a job.
The BowTied community now has serious free-rider problems.
I’ve “vetted” about 7-10 of the top accounts, all solid. Outcomes match statements.
But several in 11-20 category are completely making it up. Accounts with 5k plus followers.
New credential, same reputation issues.
Re: suing Blockfi, Celsius, etc.
I will draft these lawsuits for Bowtied members so that they are consistent with your state's rules of procedure.
I will also help you make sure you get them served/properly noticed into court.
All anon, of course.
And then it hits you.
You failed to take the last step.
You did not protect your empire. You did not protect your family. You didn't even talk to

It's the question everyone thinks about, but no one talks about. You need to get your affairs in order but don't know where to start. Let's take a quick look at what you need.

estate planning. It's the next frontier. Let's chat:

If you have amassed a substantial amount of crypto (or other assets for that matter), $BTC, $ETH, or even $DOGE, you need to make sure you have a plan in place for an untimely death.
Here's why:

Came to blows over a cash Monopoly game one time.
Guy and his GF worked out an agreement to sell Park Place and Boardwalk to each other for cheap. Guy got Board Walk & Park Place for $500 combined. Pink 50s went everywhere
One reason (among several) that I've failed a few times a eCommerce is a belief that I have to get it all set up and going in one day.
Mostly because I get excited and go 100 mph until I get frustrated and say F it
Anyone got any tips to avoid this?
The idea of retirement sucks.
I don't understand the allure of "doing nothing." The freedom do do nothing is one thing, but the desire to do nothing has always confused me

's advice and started multiple six and seven fig eCommerce businesses and brands.
You built a 7 (or 8) figure crypto portfolio.
You built an anonymous empire. An empire that was yours.
Would just like to note: the slip and fall millionaire side of the legal profession will still be open for business. With that said...
Contract drafting, writing, enforcement, and other Agreements are 0⃣s

$50k first job (hyper small market) age 26-29
Open own shop at 30- $50k profit in first year
$250k profit in year 2
$165k profit YTD at age 32
Personal Injury law so results not typical.

Something that’s a meme but actually happens:
Mailmen/mail women getting attacked by dogs.
Have handled 9 dog bite cases for mail carriers in the last 2 years. Wild.
To quote The Jungle's favorite entrepreneur, Felix Dennis, "Do not give in."
If at any point, you want to say "F**k this 💩" and leave, do not give in.
Wifi money, consistent investments into crypto, whatever it is, keep at it and do not give in.
