"Join This Exciting New Program and Get Step-by-Step
Guidance on How to Make Your Transition Out of the Law Each
Month via Phone."
From:
Monica Parker

Dear
Friend:
Over
the past few weeks I've surveyed my clients and customers to
find out what are the biggest challenges they have in
leaving the law. I learned that 5 things are keeping you
stuck in the practice of law though you desperately want to
leave: FEAR OF MAKING A MISTAKE, FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS,
CLUELESSNESS, COMPLACENCY AND OVERWHELM.
You
feel stuck. Like the proverbial hamster on a wheel, going
'round and 'round:
"I hate
my job. I want to quit. But maybe I should give law
another chance. What if I leave and it's a mistake?"
"I'd
love to do work I'm passionate about but I have financial
responsibilities. I can't afford to leave."
"If only
I knew what I was passionate about I'd do it... but I don't
have a clue what that is."
"I know I'm miserable but I just can't seem to get out of this rut."
"I've
got too much going on and I just don't know where to start."
"I
know what career I'd like to pursue but I don't know how to
do it."
My
heart goes out to you. All of that talent, passion, and
excitement you have -- it's going to waste because you feel
trapped in that dull, thankless legal job.
I
know exactly what that feels like. I was there myself. A graduate of Harvard College and Harvard Law School, I
was working at a prestigious law firm earning six figures
and HATING my job and my life. I wanted out so badly I
could smell it, taste it, feel it but I couldn't figure out
how to make it happen. I had serious law school debt,
doubts about closing the door on that profession I'd spent 3
years to earn a degree for and 5 years to acquire skills in,
and no idea what I wanted to do or how to do it if I did.
But
you know what? I figured out how to do it. I left the law,
started my own business, and I make an excellent living.
Most importantly, I'm HAPPY. I LOVE what I
do. I haven't regretted my decision to leave the law once.
I wake up each morning excited about my work and looking
forward to what the day brings. I'm telling you this not to
brag about my life but because I want you understand that it
is ABSOLUTELY possible for you to do the same.
"HOW?!"
you shriek.
The
key is to find a way to get the critical information you
need to make your own great escape, stay motivated, and take
steps consistently over a period of time.
What's the best way to do that?
Join
a Mastermind Group.
What the
heck is a "Mastermind Group?" And more importantly how is
it going to help me get out of the law?
Ever
heard of Napoleon Hill, author of that seminal work,
Think and Grow Rich? After years of studying successful
(and wealthy) people, Hill came to the conclusion that "a
mastermind is the harmonious allianceof two or
more minds that create a friendly environment to
gather, classify and organize new information for fast
and effective implementation." [bold added]
Now
before you say, "I've been in groups before. I don't think
they work. Everybody is busy trying to be something they're
not and no one ends up making progress," hang on. If you've
had a less-than-stellar group experience in the past, the
problem isn't that groups don't work; it's that your group
was missing the keys to success.
Here's what a Mastermind Group should look
like:
A place
where you are consistently and systematically surrounded by
supportive people who can show you what's right about you,
dare I say, what's genius about you
A place
where you can tap into a goldmine of resources
A place
of accountability to keep you on track, cheerleading when
you're making progress, and a kind push when you're hiding
Most
importantly, a place where you can build momentum. On your
own this journey can take forever but you can cut YEARS off the process by working with others
If
that's not enough incentive for you, just take a minute and
think about how alone you feel. Yes, yes, I know you're
perfectly capable of tackling all challenges
single-handedly. Lawyers as a general rule abhor
asking anyone for help. We are self-sufficient, thank you
very much.
Not when
it comes to changing careers, though. You cannot do
it alone. I've had so many clients tell me that they didn't
come to me at first because they were sure that they and
their brilliant intellect could solve this career problem on
their own. Months (or years) later when
they haven't done anything, they have to admit they need
help. That's when they call me.
So, I've
been brainstorming a type of program where I can share:
The
career change strategies that I personally used
to make my escape from the law, as well as the
strategies I've developed for my one-on-one clients, to
find work they love, leave the practice of law, and
make a good living
These strategies delivered one at a time in a clear,
easy-to-implement way
The
Mastermind experience, so with my help, my
brilliant clients can collaborate, brainstorm and make
exponential progress
Well I
came up with a plan. Announcing the LAUNCH of my BRAND NEW:
"Great Escape Mastermind!"
I got
the idea for this Mastermind from my How to Find the
Alternative Career That's Right for You teleclass.
Participants loved the content of the course (which focused
solely on finding alternative careers), the joy and power of
working with a group of like-minded folks, and the ease of
getting together over the telephone but they wanted MORE!
They wanted more content, more fun, more
time to explore the alternative careers they discovered
and plot out their escape strategy. So that's how the
Great Escape Mastermind was born.
Here's
what one participant had to say about the teleclass:
I feel
more emboldened about making my career change.
"It's really something that you're able to pull
information, ideas and thoughts out of our
heads. Lawyers can be pretty stubborn so that's
a huge feat. I'm excited about moving forward."

What You Get as a Charter Member of This Exciting
New Program:
1 Monthly LIVE MEETINGS Via Phone With Me in the Areas of
Finding Exciting Alternative Careers, Dealing with
Financial Constraints, Plotting An Escape Strategy and
Getting and Staying Motivated
What's My Goal Here? To Show You How You Can Leave the
Practice of Law to Do Work You're Passionate About and
Meet Your Financial Obligations - and Have Fun Making
the Transition.
Once a month, each month, we'll cover simple but
powerful steps you can put into action right away:
Figure out whether you should give practicing law
another chance or if it's really time to move on
Learn how to conquer the fear of making a wrong move
Discover specific strategies for how to deal with
your financial constraints
Learn concrete ideas and input to figure out what
you can do next
Figure out how to find something you're passionate
about
Determine what to do when you're stuck in a rut and
complacent about making a change, in spite of the
fact that you hate your job
Implement a set of baby steps (rather than an
overwhelming plan that you don't have time for
because life is already busy enough) that you can
use to get going and keep going until you're out the
door of your firm
All
regular calls are held on the second Tuesday of
each month at 7:00 pm Eastern (NY Time).
(There may be an occasional exception due to my travel
schedule.)
Each
call will last 60 - 75 minutes. For those of you with
busy lives --work, families, errands, additional
commitments -- this is the perfect structure for
you. Don't tell me you don't have 1 hour once a month
to give to learning strategies that will change your
life. When will you have time?
I feel a concreteness and a hope that I
haven't experienced in awhile.
"Monica brings you out of the dark with your
ideas. She forces you to think, 'Am I
committed to this? And if I am, then
when?'"
It's
easy to develop tunnel vision when you're on this trek
by yourself. When you’re surrounded by other highly
motivated lawyers in transition, you get a never-ending
stream of ideas, enlightening perspectives, creative
approaches, lessons learned the hard way (so you don't
have to), and explosive brainstorming. You can connect
to this Mastermind not only once a month on the calls
but also in between calls via email. This kind of a
resource is invaluable and very difficult (if not
virtually impossible) to put together. But you don’t
have to because I’ve already done it for you.
3 Online Digital Recordingsof Each and
Every Mastermind Call
It
would be great to be able to attend every call but I
don't know a lawyer alive who doesn't end up with a
scheduling conflict or two. No worries because we'll
record every one of the calls and they'll be posted
online. You can listen to them right there on the page
or you can download the MP3 file so you can listen to it
on your iPod or computer.
And
just to be clear, the calls will be available onlyforthe members of the charter program
through a special link.
4Private Coaching Call-in Hours
On an announced day two times during this six-month
program, I’ll set “open call” hours and you can dial me
up for laser coaching. Come with a quick and specific
question, and I’ll give a quick and specific answer.
Just to give you an idea how valuable this can be: I
offer laser coaching to my one-on-one clients and they
are astonished at how much we can accomplish in
ten minutes. We generate ideas, they get clarity, and
are highly motivated to take action—in that short amount
of time! Calls are limited to 10 minutes and are taken
first come, first served.
(Just to give you an idea of how valuable this is... I
only work one-on-one with clients at a rate of $1,000
per month.)
But you have the opportunity to talk with me during
these call-in days at no extra charge!

Be Forewarned: This Isn’t a
Program for Whiners or Complainers
The Great Escape Mastermind is an implementation coaching program
designed to create an ENVIRONMENT that compels you to take
action and play your biggest game possible.
Because of that, I have one simple request.
I only want you to join this program if you’re serious
about taking action and implementing what you’re learning
quickly and decisively. I want to attract a community of
energetic, lively lawyers who are committed to creating the
work and lives they want.
So I want to make sure I’m really clear that this program is only
for lawyers who are highly committed to exploring
alternative careers with enthusiasm, putting together an
effective plan, and taking bold steps.
This program is NOT for lawyers who make excuses and resist or
question every proven suggestion I offer, because that’s how
they’ve been operating in their lives as miserable
practicing lawyers. It’s also not for lawyers who require a
lot of hand-holding and reassurance every step of the way.
With that in mind, please understand that the Great Escape
Mastermind Program is designed as a minimum six-month
process. I am so convinced of the value that I’ll deliver in
this program that I’m committed to spending these six months
helping you begin the process of creating the work and life
you want and I’m asking the same commitment from you.
I only want highly committed attorneys who are ready to make big
leaps. I don’t want any wishy-washy, tire-kicking folks.
Therefore, please note that no refunds will be issued. If
for any reason you decide to remove or cancel yourself from
the program prior to the end date of the program, you are
obligated to pay or continue to pay any outstanding
balances.
Remember, making this kind of change requires commitment. You’ve
already used that kind of commitment to get you to where you
are today. Isn’t it time to use that commitment to create
the work and life of your dreams?
OK, Here's How You Get the Goods...

charged the charter member rate of only $347.00 a monthfor 6 months. Remember, this rate is good only
through October 6, 2008. After that the program is $397 a
month for 6 months.
Why am I
offering the program for such a low price? I want to make
sure it's accessible to every unhappy lawyer, even those
with a load of law school debt. Plus it's the charter
program. I'm not sure I'll offer this program again. I'm
launching some new programs and products this year and the
opportunities that may come from that may make it impossible
for me to do this more than once.

You
know, even if you're not sure if you want to leave the
