After midnight, the doors will be closing and will not reopen for the foreseeable future.
If you're still trying to decide whether to invest in the JD Refugee® program...
...let me share some thoughts that might help you decide – because I want you to make the best choice for you, regardless of whether you choose to work with me.
Most lawyers I work with tell me the hardest thing to do was to sign up.
They say it was scary to contemplate making a change. The good news is that you’ll just be exploring a change, not necessarily making a change.
They also say signing up was tough because they didn’t want to admit they needed help. I know that to be true from my own personal experience. We tend to be smart over-achievers, so we like to think we can figure everything out on our own.
But exploring what careers might fit us takes a deep level of self-reflection that can be hard to do on our own – especially when that’s not your area of expertise. It often helps to have someone and something outside of ourselves to reflect us back to us.
Think about how surprised you are by how you look or sound in an audio or video recording.
“I look like that?!” “I sound like that?!”
Add in the support and accountability that comes from having someone in your corner to guide you through the process…and that is why I worked with career consultants when I hit a crossroads in my 30s.
Doing that helped me get unstuck and determine my direction. I wanted to figure everything out on my own, but am so glad I trusted the help of others.
Another thing my clients regularly tell me after just a few weeks of working together: “I wish I’d signed up sooner.”
The first taste of clarity leads them to realize they can’t get the time back they spent kicking the can down the road, hoping everything would magically work itself out.
Sometimes they spent months or even years burning themselves out sending resumes into black holes.
Rather than dwelling on the past and focusing on lost time, I remind them of the Chinese proverb:
“The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.”
Are you ready to plant that tree?
The reality is that you have nothing to lose by moving forward.
That's because you're protected by my 30-day money back guarantee policy. If within 30 days of the program's October 20 start date you feel like the class isn’t a good fit and you don’t see how it can help you find a more fulfilling career, simply email me.
I will refund your investment if you have completed and submitted to me the homework listed in the suggested syllabus, participated in the welcome call with me and at least one group call, and completed a refund questionnaire. After review, I will promptly refund your investment minus credit card processing fees (approximately 3%).
I stand by the JD Refugee® program 100% and have never had a client request a refund.
Like I explained in my email on Tuesday, people have been requesting to sign up for just the first part of the JD Refugee® program.
That’s the part that focuses on helping you determine what else you can do besides practice law – and whether leaving law even makes sense for you.
I can see why people might feel hesitant to commit to the full JD Refugee® program, helping them make a career change, when they’re not yet even sure a change is what they want.
That’s why I’ve compiled the essentials from the program, which I’m inviting you to today, so you can stay focused on figuring out your path forward.
Back when I originally launched the JD Refugee® program, this is the only part of the program that existed! Those who participated at that time felt they got so much value from it that most of them wrote testimonials – some of which you saw in Friday’s email.
So I’ve presented this version of the program before and know that it works.
- Determine your skills, strengths, interests, goals, priorities and more to get clarity on what fits you.
- Get help connecting the dots from your profile to career paths.
- Receive access to my complete video interview library, filled with examples of lawyers working in a wide variety of careers.
- Learn how to communicate about yourself so you can be seen as more than “just a lawyer.”
- Get access to the videos and exercise-filled workbooks for 4 months starting on Wednesday. (If you stick to the syllabus, you’ll get through the program in 2 months based on an average of 3 hours per week – but will have the space to go slower.)
- Get access to 8 group calls led by me to brainstorm and get your questions answered (typically every other Wednesday at 5:30 pm EST).
- Get a private consult call with me where we’ll use your Myers-Briggs MBTI® personality assessment to inform your choice of career paths.
- Have your confidentiality honored and respected (including on the group calls).
- Have the reassurance that you’re moving forward with no risk thanks to the 30-day money back guarantee.
P.S. If you’re considering this program but still have questions or are uncertain as to whether it’s a good fit for you, reply to this email and let me know what’s holding you back. I’m happy to answer any questions you may have. The deadline for the offer is tonight, but if you reply to this email before then, I can still get you in if you’re interested.
