Episode 331 — AMMA — Failure to Reflect is Failure to Grow: The Brutal Truth About Staying Stuck
Consistency and strategic reflection — these are the twin engines that propel your law firm’s trajectory toward success.
In this episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Michael Mogill dives into two game changers for overcoming stagnation and driving sustainable progress: an unwavering commitment to growth and a willingness to assess and adapt.
Here’s what you’ll take away:
- The transformative power of steady, committed efforts in building sustainable growth in both personal habits and business practices
- The importance of addressing root causes rather than symptoms in problem-solving — establishing a firm foundation for continual improvement and success
- The vital role of making time for introspection, enabling strategic decision-making and preventing repeated mistakes
We don’t settle for surface-level fixes here. We’re talking about real solutions — solutions that redefine leadership, elevate operations, and push the boundaries of what’s possible. The firms that integrate these practices don’t just survive; they thrive.
Let’s make your vision of success not just a possibility but an inevitability.

Show Notes:
Consistency is key. “Consistency is the backbone of success. Whether it’s producing content like a podcast or implementing strategic initiatives in your firm, what’s crucial is maintaining a regular, unwavering commitment. The excitement and novelty might fade, but enduring success stems from cultivating the right habits over time. It’s not about sporadic efforts or extraordinary production values; consistent and persistent action builds lasting growth.”
Solving problems at their root. “Law firm owners often find themselves facing the same issues repeatedly. This cycle indicates a ‘band-aid’ approach rather than true problem-solving. To break free, it’s essential to address the root causes, focusing on creating permanent solutions. Embrace a mindset that tackles the underlying issues, rather than just symptoms, preventing future reoccurrences and fostering a culture of long-term success.”
Power of reflection. “Amidst the chaos of juggling responsibilities, the power of reflection can seem elusive yet invaluable. It’s not about finding time; it’s about making time to pause and assess. Regular reflection fosters growth, allowing you to move from a reactive to a proactive stance, identifying areas for improvement. Reviewing past actions ensures mistakes aren’t repeated and informs more strategic decision-making moving forward.”
The growth mindset. “Success doesn’t come from luck or innate talent alone — it’s built on a foundation of sustained effort and growth. Embrace discomfort as a path to develop the skills and competencies you’ll need to achieve your goals. Success isn’t a result of a single leap but rather consistent small steps building upon each other. Seek to learn from others who have achieved what you aim for — environment and information are as crucial as effort and resolve.”
Focus on your journey. “The grass isn’t always greener on the other side. Comparing your progress with others can sap your motivation. Instead, focus on your goals and growth. Everyone’s path to success is unique; what matters is the progress on your own journey. Look to those who have paved the way not for comparison, but for insight and strategies to navigate your own path to achievement.”
