Why healthy?
Every part of your firm is connected. It starts with a healthy foundation—a clear path to what you want your business to look like and how you're going to get there. You need a framework for your leadership team to make decisions and move forward.
With a solid foundation, you can grow and serve healthy clients. You'll need healthy systems and processes to consistently attract the right leads, convert them into happy clients, and deliver a high-quality experience.
A healthy team means we are attracting the right people and training and developing them into amazing teams. All this leads to healthy profits.
Finally, the business should exist to serve you and your personal goals including working a reasonable amount of hours.

How does it work?
You need two things for your business to succeed:
- Strategy—what are you building?
- Alignment—a plan to get you there.
Lab offers you a variety of tools and resources to find your winning combination of strategy and alignment.
Content
You'll start with a plan. We'll guide you through the process of creating a business strategy so you know exactly which parts of your business need your focus.
With your plan in hand, you'll access our members-only website containing over 100 modules to help you learn and implement our proven strategies for building a healthier firm.
Coaching
You might need help along the way. Our coaches will be there to give you guidance, support, and yes, at times, a good 'ole fashion kick in the rear.
Depending on the level you join, you'll access our coaches by either:
- Group Coaching Calls and Workshops, or
- 1:1 Accountability coaching with a dedicated coach each month for support and accountability on your business plan.
- Subject-Matter Coaching with an expert focused on a specific part of your business. Our coaches specialize in business strategy, marketing, finance, legal technology, human resources, outsourcing, remote workplaces, business systems, and operations.
Community
Your business benefits when you connect with forward-thinking business owners who share their problems, wins, and frustrations. In Lab, you'll connect, learn, be inspired, and confide in other members in lots of ways, including:
- Private Member Forum
- Virtual Accountability Groups
- Study Groups (3 weeks sprints to get things done)
- Webinars & Workshops
- Annual Conference: LabCon
LabCon
LabCon is our in person work session. It's not a typical conference or CLE. We've replaced the speakers you'd see on an agenda who talk at you with 2.5 days of facilitated and interactive conversations, workshops, and activities.
