In this episode of the Your Practice Mastered Podcast, hosts Richard James and MPS are joined by their special guest Blaine OElkers, America’s ONLY Chief Results Officer®. Blaine has worked with attorneys for many years, helping them achieve results in their practices.
After introductions, Blaine shares how two key moments led him to his work on self-fluence and results. First, listening to the Think and Grow Rich audio book dramatically changed his thinking and outlook. He realized “what you think about you brings about.” Second, after being away on a long business trip, Blaine’s young son didn’t recognize him when he returned home. That night Blaine decided he wanted to be a work-from-home dad no matter what. It took a year, but he eventually made that dream a reality.
The hosts and Blaine discuss how attorneys often have clarifying moments that reshape their identity and direction, whether it’s switching practice areas or shifting their mindset from “attorney” to “business owner.” When first meeting attorneys seeking results, Blaine finds that a lack of clarity about what they truly want holds many back. He emphasizes the importance of gaining crystal clear focus on your destination (Point B), prioritizing it, and taking steps to move toward it. Progress creates positive brain chemicals while a lack of direction leads to feeling stuck.
Blaine outlines his “21 second habit” formula for quickly creating new habits by linking them to existing habits. For example, he linked reading the Bible and doing a “mind shower” meditation to his habit of checking his phone each morning. He also uses the psychological desire to maintain “streaks” of daily discipline.
Other topics include the power of accountability partners, getting to work early to get a headstart on the day, and continuing education through books like Think and Grow Rich and Traction. Blaine concludes by sharing his excitement about helping more people “take control of their lives by taking control of themselves.”
