Welcome back to the Vault, the space where we own our power, lead with clarity, and make strategic moves.
The Journal
This was my first time speaking at the Clio Cloud Conference, considered the premier conference in legal technology worldwide.
A colleague of mine — someone who has served on the board of the American Bar Association — said something that stunned me:
“Temi, the ABA loves you. They are always talking about you.”
Say what?
I was floored. After all, there are plenty of legal professionals far more technically skilled, fluent in the Latin sayings of law, and up-to-date on the most recent Supreme Court decisions.
So why me?
I thought about it for a long time, and then it hit me:
They know me because they’ve seen me.
They trust me because they’ve heard me.
The ABA didn’t ‘like me’ because I was the most technical lawyer. They noticed me because I was visible.
Not because I was chasing influence.
Not because I had a massive following.
But because I showed up consistently, strategically, and imperfectly.
The Key
The truth is, most professionals won’t use video.
How do I know this? I speak about video across the nation — from bar associations to industry conferences — and I see it everywhere. Most people already have the tools. A smartphone. A Zoom account. Even a decent webcam.
So what’s standing in their way?
It’s fear.
They’ll say:
“I don’t want to look like an influencer—I’m a ‘professional’”
“I don’t have the time—my calendar is already packed with ‘real work’”
“I’ll wait until it’s perfect because it has to be flawless to be effective.”
I get it — I’ve felt the same. My challenge was always timing and perfectionism.
But I’ve also seen what happens when you push through those fears.
Video has helped me:
Land a six-figure job I didn’t even apply for, a position that elevated my reach, influence, and income
Secure a book deal with the American Bar Association, a book that is now being read across the nation, and continues to establish me as a thought leader in my industry
Speak on the largest stages in my industry so that I can help positively influence changes on a broad scale and connect with other leaders for greater opportunities
Build an international client base for my boutique firm without leaving home
Those are the opportunities most professionals and entrepreneurs miss — but that’s also good news for you.
That’s exactly what I’ll be teaching inside Video to Profits Live.
Because the few who do show up on video — consistently, strategically, even imperfectly — gain traction so much faster.
They stand out.
And not because they have millions of followers, but because they’re among the rare professionals in their industry who actually take action and who are willing to be seen.
This is the advantage waiting for you on Friday, September 5th.
The Structure
In just 90 minutes, I’ll give you the structure to:
Use video as a credibility tool (not an influencer gimmick)
Show up without needing hours you don’t have
Build visibility that attracts clients, revenue, and recognition
The Invitation
Most will wait and let fear keep them on the sidelines.
A few will act and unlock next-level opportunities for income and influence.
Which one will you be?
The Final Word
Today is September 2nd.
There are just 4 months left in the year.
That’s more than enough time to:
Stay stuck, waiting for the perfect moment…
Or to start showing up, being seen, and unlocking opportunities most professionals miss.
The choice is simple: wait, or act.
Until next time,
