Callagy Law"s 27.6 Million Dollar Jury Verdict - NOT BAD!

Dear Client and Friend,

I hope this Monday Morning finds you doing well.  This is the first in what will be an ongoing communication from me to our client and other friend base.

One of my goals has been, for a long time, to build a sense of community around Callagy Law. The idea is to find likeminded people of integrity, empathy, caring, urgency, aggression and a desire to grow and live a life of passion and positive energy. We want this in the people with whom we work as both clients and business teammates.

As you may know, we post videos on our callagylaw.com website, our Facebook page, our LinkedIn page and throughout our social media. Please join us there to receive our videos and other content that is designed to foster that sense of community, fun, adventure and growth for you and your career.

Today’s Why Not message was about one of my favorite quotes: “The unexamined life is not worth living.” The challenge is to examine our lives and really determine in which areas we want growth and change.

The key though, is to focus as much on the feelings we want as the “things” we want. Peace, for example, is a critically important feeling for our life. Joy, fulfillment, adventure and many other feelings are also critically important for most of us. If we only focus on “things” or tangible outcomes (e.g., winning a trial), then we can miss many of the critical feelings we NEED in our life.

So, the quick message for today: examine your life and set your goals. I did this on Thursday, and it led to me on Friday ending up a half mile off shore in 50 feet of water free diving by myself in another country. While that’s a story for a different day, it was the result of this process, and a tremendous boost to my energy level and mind set!

By the way, for those that don’t know, we just obtained an over 27 million dollar jury verdict for our client Marc Wichansky. It has been a five year odyssey, which will be the subject of other videos and articles, but I want to thank our entire team for once again putting Callagy Law, and me personally, in America’s top 100 verdicts, as well as putting us in the running for Arizona’s highest verdict of 2016. The American jury system is the great equalizer and human lie detector. I am so appreciative for the work of Michael Smikun, Chris Miller, Robert Solomon, Sam Saltman, Taylor Gallo, Dally Shala and everyone at Callagy Law and outside the firm, who helped make this result a reality.

By the way, I think we are America’s only trial team to have two verdicts in excess of 27 million dollars within the past two years.  Not a bad team to have helping you with your legal challenges….

Also, we have added a Family Law team to our world of Callagy Law. Chris Cavalli and Brian McCann have joined the firm as partners and hold the special designation of Certified Matrimonial Attorneys. If you have any divorce, child custody or other family law issues, please call us, we are here to help.

Please also be on the lookout for live events we will be doing at the firm to help educate, inspire and even network as we continue to grow the Callagy Law community with awesome like-minded people.

I am so thankful to work with you, and I look forward to seeing you soon.

Why Not Exponentially Increase the Power of Your Ability to Connect with Others?

Dear Kindred Spirits:

How do you feel about other people?

What do you believe about other people?

Are people bad? Are they selfish? Do you believe people are mean? Crazy? Unsupportive?

On the other hand, do you believe people have good hearts? Do you know that people deep down care about others? Do you think people want to help?

These beliefs are impacting two critical aspects to your life. These elements impact your relationships with other people, and therefore, impact your ability, whether it be in your business, career, or your personal life, to produce the results you want to achieve your goals and ultimate destiny.

So, what are these critical impacts for you?

First, what you believe about other people is controlling and impacting your feelings about communicating with other people, as well as your desire to help other people AND to ask for their help.

Exponential results require us to have strong and positive relationships with other people. If we believe people are, in general, self-absorbed mean creatures who only do things out of pure self-interest, then we will have a far more difficult time approaching and interacting with others because it will feel more “painful”.

The second impact is the most important though. This impact is what will not only increase our desire to interact with others, but will also increase their desire to help and interact with us!

To learn more about this, tune into today’s Why Not Huddle Episode 19.

If you have any legal questions for your business, including issues with partners or shareholders, or any other legal or how to produce results questions, please contact us at scallagy@callagylaw.com or call 201-261-1700.

Have an amazing Why Not day!

Why Not Ditch Discipline for Something Far More Powerful? 

Today’s Why Not Huddle with Sean Callagy | November 16, 2015

Dear Kindred Spirits:

 

Welcome to Monday!

 

I hope your weekend was amazing and that your week will be amazing squared! Remember, we are building on an underlying theme of exponential growth….

 

These letters I am writing each day are designed to work in conjunction with the Why Not Huddles and Why Not Talks. The free value we are giving away here is unparalleled. If you see content given away for free anywhere on the internet that is more valuable than what I am giving away each day and week, please bring it to my attention, NOW! Please!!

 

By the way, I also address this letter each day to “Kindred Spirits.” My goal is to outreach to you if we believe in the same things and are striving for the same things in life.

 

If you truly want more for your life in terms of money, time and fulfillment, and are fired up about the process of living a life of learning and growth, then this is the place for you.

 

If you want to live a life that is full of cynicism, non-constructive criticism and sarcasm, go watch TV or find that type of material everywhere. I wish you the best.

 

Today though, for all those Why Not folks out there, discipline, like we’ve discussed with regard to motivation, isn’t the way to produce more in our lives.

 

Your optimal ticket for learning and growth lies in having more of something else as opposed to “discipline”.

 

You see, and please hear this, anything that is painful is challenging to maintain. Discpline is hard. It presupposes that we are experiencing pain and carrying on anyway. That is certainly an admirable quality, but will it last? How sustainable is a race against your pain endurance threshold as you try to beat it to the finish line of your goal or goals?

 

I would rather change the odds of the game.

 

Thus, I would replace discipline with…… Well, tune in to today’s Why Not Huddle to find out a key guel to your goals that is far more sustainable than discipline.

 

Also, hear a personal example that I just watched come to life over this weekend!

 

By the way, if you have anyone with any legal needs whatsoever, or coaching for success needs, please reach out or have them reach out. You can contact me at scallagy@callagylaw.com or my office at 201-261-1700.

 

See you on the Why Not Huddle!

Today’s Why Not Huddle with Sean Callagy:

Why Not Realize Defensiveness Destroys! 

Dear Kindred Spirits, Welcome to our third “Why Not” Friday, and your 16th episode of the Why Not Huddle.

How are you doing so far?

We are here to support you. Send any questions or comments to scallagy@callagylaw.com if you need a private response or post your questions for a response.

Yesterday, we were discussing a very common challenge for all of us: when it’s us, we don’t think we can “do” much more to change things to increase the quality of our results.

When last we spoke, our friend from yesterday was believing she was doing “everything”. I have heard this more times than you can imagine over the past twenty years. One of the great destroyers of success is people’s defensiveness.

Most often, their defensiveness is rooted in a feeling that somehow their success, whether it be financial, sales, business, career, or whatever, is directly connected to who they are and their value as a human being.

We had a great comment from Paul C. yesterday describing the amazing compounding of a penny over one month. Check it out on Callagy Law Facebook. It is this concept that most people cannot grasp, in my experience, when it comes to them.

When I speak with business people who have big goals, but are challenged to reach them, they want to hear new “tricks”. What people become defensive and resistant when we begin to discuss the very simple shifts available that can create enormous benefits. In the situation with my friend, a real life example, she felt very successful in negotiating a $15,000.00 per month billing contract. I thought she got completely taken advantage of and her fear got to her.

She didn’t like hearing that. I am completely confident that a fair arrangement would have yielded one to two million dollars per year. She really didn’t like hearing that. Moreover, I shared that she didn’t have enough products to cover her clients’ full needs, and therefore, was losing sales. I also believed her marketing process to get to meetings was very weak, and therefore, tons of opportunities were being missed. Her response was that I thought I was smarter than her, and did I know how much she’s accomplished.

My answer: I don’t care. Well, I do care, but not enough for me to lie to her and tell her something different than the truth. The truth is, a few tiny changes, and the company will go from a one million dollar to ten million dollar company in less than three years. She still didn’t like it.  Why? She was at affect.

She was also lacking the at cause ability to be completely self-aware and open to the turning of a couple of small screws to explode her business forward. After a few tears and some back and forth (that’s where my skills come in), we agreed to turn those screws. Here’s the challenge though: we all do this.

We all avoid the simple obstacles that will lead us to our results because we are often very emotionally committed to its meaning about us a smart, strong and competent person.

What? It goes like this: could a twenty dollar book or a free video really increase my income by thousands or even millions of dollars over time. Absolutely!!!!!!!!!! BUY, not if defensiveness and the need to prove how unique and impossibly unique your problems are. Let’s be open, self-aware and AT CAUSE! Have an amazing Friday and weekend.

Please share this, ask questions and post comments. We are over 11,000 Callagy Law Facebook Likes. Next stop: 50,000. Please help us get there. When we do, we are giving away a phenomenal gift worth over $1,000.00 to everyone.

Today’s Why Not Huddle with Sean Callagy:

Why Not Spend 3 Minutes to Exponentially Change Your Trajectory?

Dear Kindred Spirits:

 

3 minutes to exponentially change your trajectory.

 

That sounds like a bold claim.

 

AND, IT IS.

 

Invest 3 minutes a day, follow the formula, and exponentially increase your ability to produce results in your life….

 

If exponentially increasing your results in your finances, skills, relationships, public speaking, sales, meetings or whatever is for you, then watch Why Not every day.

 

If there is nothing you want more out of life in any way, then Why Not is NOT for you.

 

My life’s passion is to help people understand the true power of their capacity, AND that tiny differences consistently over time lead to exponential improvements.

 

What is exponential though? Exponential involves the power of compounding results.

 

Let’s look at a simple example. Let’s say you save 5,000 per year, every year, starting at age 40 through retirement at 65. Let’s also say you hold that money in your mattress for safe keeping. After 25 years, you will have 25 x $5,000 or $125,000.

 

Now, let’s say that you were given 5,000 at age 15 and NEVER saved another penny. However, you invested it in a low cost growth fund that tracked the historical doubling of the stock market every seven years.

 

What would you have?

 

In the one case, you would have saved $125,000, and you would have $125,000.

 

In the case of having $5,000 exponentially growing over $320,000.

 

So, $5,000 in savings, turns into almost 3 times more than $125,000 because it grew exponentially.

 

This fact, as far as I have seen, is the greatest lack of understanding people have about attaining their goals and dreams. The compounding of Zone Action on top of Zone Action over years is the difference between financial freedom and hard work but financial frustration. The same is true of an incredibly happy relationship or one that is very painful.

 

It lies in tiny key differences over time.

 

Just today I had a conversation with a great person who’s been working hard and built a successful company over 5 years. The only challenge: they are frustrated with the financial succes because they know they can be doing much better.

 

I agreed. I thought she could be making 10 or 20 times more in the business. Yes TEN or TWENTY.

 

Tomorrow, I will explain how exactly it WILL happen. It has everything to do with the power of exponential Zone Action growth.

 

Why Not tune in tomorrow FOR YOUR RESULTS!! Three minutes daily for exponential growth.

NEW! FREE! PLEASE SHARE! Why Not Double Your Income Part II - How?!

Today’s Why Not Huddle with Sean Callagy

Why Not with Sean Callagy Episode 14 – November 11, 2015

Dear Kindred Spirits:

Good morning!!!!!

If you haven’t checked out our Why Not Talk Episode 2 with Rey Rostami, you will be missing a how to quadruple your sales appointments, along with a story to give you certainty on how to overcome huge challenges as Rey went from gang member to award winning sales man and trainer.

Yesterday, we discussed the idea of how you feel about doubling your income, and the practical impact of those thoughts and feelings on your income.

Some people felt teased by Why Not Huddle 13 as we didn’t discuss any “how to”.

Believe it or not, the “how to” is always far easier than remaining “At Cause” in “Zone Action”.

Okay, so, let’s get right to it.

If you are working for a salary, you have two choices:

1. Start a separate company on your own: or

2. Figure out how to add five to ten times the value you are currently creating for your company.

If you are a sales person or business owner, then you double your income by doubling your sales. This is far easier than most people think.

All sales increases are reverse engineered. It starts with doubling the number of your meetings. If you double the number of meetings, and increase your yes rate, or even simply maintain it, then if you work on commission, you will obviously have doubled your income.

So, if it’s that easy, WHY NOT follow that system? Well, we come right back to the reason the Why Not Huddle exists: to keep people “AT CAUSE IN ZONE ACTION”.

Most people simply don’t operate in Zone Action virtually at all. Simply changing this fact will change everything.

What is Zone Action in Sales?

1. Engaging in direct and controlled actions to create meetings; and

2. Engaging in direct and controlled actions to have clients say yes to your product or services that they need.

This doesn’t happen. Only the top small percentage of sales people who are following a Zone Action system and living At Cause do this.

AND, if they care to, are very capable of doubling their income.

Remember, I went from broke to a beach house in one year. This is how it works for everyone!

Please share this on your Facebook Timeline or on LinkedIn, along with today’s Why Not Video!

Why Not #13 Why Not Indulge in this "Guilty Pleasure"- November 9, 2015

Today’s Why Not Huddle with Sean Callagy

The world is a crazy place!

I find myself thinking and saying that almost every day. For those that believe in quantum physics or even the simple concept of “you get what you focus on” due to simple issues of self-fulfilling prophecies as a result of self-directed thoughts, feelings and actions, this would explain some of the more “interesting” moments in my life. Maybe I need to check this out as a limiting belief….

 

Regardless, I think the way our culture exists in 2015 is amazingly bizarre at best and horrifically self-defeating, if not self-destructive at worst.

 

How does that grab you for “positive thinking?!”

 

This is one of the reasons I am doing the “Why Not Huddles” and “Why Not Talks”.

 

I love people. I despise any process or thinking I believe is harming people, their happiness and their fulfillment.

 

So what about this “guilty pleasure” stuff?

 

When you say the phrase “guilty pleasure,”  what thoughts, feelings, pictures and sounds does it conjure up?

 

Maybe some reality shows about housewives? How about some chocolate thing you love to eat even though you’re on a “diet”?

 

To me, “guilty pleasure” implies something a bit secretive from which you gain pleasure, but are a bit embarrassed. It’s something that society generally would not see as a good thing, but we all “deserve” a little bit of it in our life.

 

Is it possible, just POSSIBLE, that the world of “self-help”, “personal development” and even just being “happy” and “positive” are now “GULTY PLEASURES” in our society and culture?

 

Hmmmmm………. I think they just might be.

 

We live in a society and future where if you believe in anything positive, you stand open to attack and criticism as someone who is a “sucker” or a “Kool-Aid drinker”.

 

When I first read Awaken the Giant Within by Tony Robbins, I got very excited and shared it with my friends. For many of them, it became a joke and a way to them to goof on me.

 

Also, what typically happens when you tell people you have a new goal or a dream? Let’s say it is to start a business, double your income, find the person of your dreams, help your kids begin a process to ultimately play Division 1 college sports, or whatever?

 

What do you think most people are thinking if you share these goals or dreams with them?

 

Hold that thought for a moment, while we explore what most people do think is okay, and therefore, leads you to a deeper connection with other people.

 

What is a connecting and comfortable way to “fit in” in social group settings in 2015 in our culture?

 

Let’s say you are at a back to school night, and you are milling about waiting for things to start. What are people commonly chatting about?

 

How about if you’re on line at a theme park? It’s a beautiful summer day and people take the time and spend the money to have a “great day” with family and friends at a theme park built for fun. What are the conversations we are mostly hearing all about?

 

The grocery line, waiting in traffic, a bar, youth sporting events, business conferences or any grouping of human beings in 2015?

 

What are people discussing?

 

My experience, and maybe I live on a different planet, but I don’t think so, has been: something NEGATIVE. From the heat, the line, the crowd, the rain, the traffic, the latest scandal, why the event is set up less than optimally, what we are putting up with, women blah, men blah, kids blah, our jobs blah, it is, for the most part negative.

 

AND……….if you dare discuss something positive, what has your experience been there? Mine has been that people, in social circles, begin to speak negatively about the positive person. I’ve heard things like that person is “delusional” because their kids not that good, who do they think they are, they aren’t being realistic, they are so fake, they are setting themselves up for a BIG disappointment, she drank the “kool-aid” or she’s so positive it makes me sick.

 

I’ve heard these exact statements. All of them. I’ve heard similar words more than a thousand times in my life.

 

So what’s the point? Give up?!

 

No. There is an amazing counter phenomenon.  As much as this exists in our culture, people really do want to believe. People crave positive. They just need to believe and know it’s real.

 

The challenge is that people are conditioned to be negative to feel comfortable. As Tony Robbins first introduced to me, we will do “far more to avoid pain, than to gain pleasure.” This is why people would rather be negative than live life in a positive way. We feel more comfortable being right about negative than wrong about positive.

 

It is much easier to say: this line is horrible than I’m so excited about my daughters game today. It also because most people are living at effect of all this negativity. Thus, if you are happy, you are most likely not following a key relationship building element of “matching and mirroring” to build rapport.

 

Wow Sean, “what the h, e, double hockey stick (as my daughter loves to say) are you talking about?!”

 

What I am saying is YES we perceive positive things, including the “Why Not Huddle”, as “Guilty Pleasures” in our culture today. We feel a bit embarrassed or uncomfortable, generally, because saying something negative is far easier in our world.

 

BUT, the people that are in fact magnetically attractive in our culture are the people who can genuinely and congruently communicate positive, real, meaningful and inspirational message to others. I simply believe that most of us don’t know “how”. So, when we try, we are less certain about our message than the people with whom we are communicating are certain about their message that “that won’t work”.

 

Tomorrow, we will discuss how to reverse this entire process. Why should you care? Because if you don’t you will have people creating doubt for you wherever you go as you create and live your greatest life and destiny. I’ve lived it.

 

When I said I was starting my own law firm, all of the positive and amazing people around me told me I was crazy, I would fail, I was too young, and lots of other things that were proven to be totally and completely wrong.

 

I care about your dreams. I care about you. These “small distinctions” are critical and very real.

 

Please watch and read every day. Please spread the word and share these articles and Why Not Huddles and Talks. Please post your comments and questions.

 

One of my ultimate goals is to make being negative, cynical and sarcastic the “Guilty Pleasure” and be standing on line at Great Adventure and listening to everyone talking about the amazing day they are having and how happy they are to be with each other.

 

Tune in tomorrow for “how” to tap into this part of people and make yourself a true magnetic positive leader.

 

Why Not?!

Why Not #8 - Why Not Form Life"s Most Valuable Habit? November 2, 2015

Why Not #4, October 27, 2015

 

 

 

Quick thought: What are you thankful for in your life? For a moment, close your eyes, see it, make it large, colorful and moving. Feel the feelings of gratitude you have for this person, place, thing, opportunity or whatever it is, in your life.

 

Do this for 60 seconds.

 

This is one of just so many ways we can rapidly shift ourselves into a more resourceful, less stressed, more happy and joyful, and if relevant, more productive place.

 

If this sounds cheesy to you, then ask this question to that part of you: what is more cheesy and foolish, feeling overly stressed, angry, frustrated, defeated or overwhelmed by things we are capable o feeling differently and better about OR simply employing techniques to feel better?

 

A quick example of this is how most people feel on Monday mornings, albeit it’s a Tuesday. Most people “make it through” the week. I used to feel that way too. Then, one day, I realized that I was wishing 5 out of 7 days of my life away. Who wants to do that?????!!!!!!! It was a life changing moment.

 

Tomorrow’s article will discuss how different reality is for people than reality actually is.

 

To answer today’s question though, the first missing step for the achievement of our dreams for most people is……..THE FAILURE to have WRITTEN GOALS!

 

It amazes me the number of people that fail to have written goals. It also amazes me to see the amazing power that having written goals has.

 

So, your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to create written goals for every area of your life. This includes: family, financial, spiritual, health, fitness, relationship, career, joy, adventure, skill development and any other areas in which you desire something in your life.

 

Even if you set goals, here is a quick example of a possible way you haven’t taken advantage of goal settings amazing power:

 

Goal:

Family: help my daughter walk onto the soccer field feeling 10 feet tall and possessing a complete and perfect level 10 of confidence by November 15, 2015.

 

We will discuss the nuances of goal setting and goal attainment in future articles and programs. Simply writing your goals down in all of these areas, with numbers, and time sensitivity, is the first essential step!

 

Take up your life’s mission, write your goals down, feel gratitude and have an amazing day because you, like everyone, deserve it!!!!!!!!!

 

In your service,

 

Sean Callagy

Why Not Number 2, October 23, 2015 - Why Not Say Why Not

Why Not #1, October 22, 2015 | Sean Callagy

Today I launched the “Why Not?” daily huddle, available on YouTube.  The purpose of these 3- to 10-minute morning sessions is to reach those who believe there is, or should be, more to life and want more money, more time, or more fulfillment in their lives – which in my experience includes just about everyone!  The concept of a daily huddle is one which I have used for several years in my own law firm and because it has proven so effective, I am confident you will find it to be just as valuable, especially if you make it an ongoing habit to tune in.

It’s been said that the way we start anything goes a very long way to determining how we finish.  With that in mind, I ask you to consider how most people start their day.  Typically, it’s by catching up on the news from the previous night and – even more typically – that news is deflating.  Tragedy, conflict, and dysfunction served on a bed of negativity, followed by a few minutes of weather and sports, then topped with a cheery, “Have a great day!”  “Ah,” some say, “but that’s what people want to see!”  I strongly disagree.  I believe that launching your day with joy, hope, passion, encouragement and clarity is an infinitely better way to begin your daily walk.

Make no mistake, this daily huddle is designed to set your day on that better trajectory from the very beginning – one that will serve your needs and desires – and that will result in a better destiny.  You may wonder what it is that qualifies me to bring you this huddle and the high expectations I want you to have for it.  Briefly, I have studied the art and science of producing optimal results for over 30 years.  Beginning in high school to apply what I was learning, I excelled academically and, as captain of Columbia University’s baseball team, athletically before becoming an attorney and certified business coach.  Within two years of leaving law school I had defied the advice of naysayers by leaving a position with a prestigious firm to start my own, and already had 40 employees.  Today that number has grown to over 100, yet I also coach baseball and lead a very fulfilling, well-balanced life.  I have achieved my dreams because of the daily decisions I have made, and those decisions are founded on three beliefs: 1) our destiny is driven by our daily actions, 2) our daily actions are driven by our daily thoughts, and 3) our daily thoughts are based on how we feel each day.

I want to hear from you, and specifically I want to know two things.  First, what do you want?  Better relationships?  More business?  Less stress?  And second, what is keeping you from having what you want?  You may find the second question a bit more difficult to answer, but give it a shot.  Then email those answers to me at scallagy@callagylaw.com.  The Why Not daily huddle is here to address those answers, just as I address them with clients and associates, some of whom own $30 million dollar businesses yet wrestle with all kinds of challenges and are searching for the answers that will put them back in control of their lives.  Every huddle will be different (occasionally we will have guests) but their common denominator will be to provide another useful, positive launch to your day.

This will cost you nothing.  You will simply be investing 3- to 10- minutes each morning, five days a week,  as often as you can, for one year.  Please be generous with your sharing of this opportunity via Facebook and other social media platforms.  And last, feel very encouraged to send me not just what you want and what you think is blocking you from having it, but also your suggestions for the huddle, because I truly want to hear them.  Let’s get started!
