The Redefined To Do List

Everyone has a different version of success. Once you define what success is to you, how will you get there? There are many routes to one goal, but some will be faster and more successful than the others. How do you find the most direct path?

We will find that path by using the book, The One Thing by Gary Keller with Jay Papasan. The topic of their book is focus, which is what my system thee 10x Differentiator is based on. Learning how to focus will help you achieve massive results in a shorter amount of time.

 

To Do Lists

Most of us use to-do lists and many of us actually live by them. But there is something fundamentally wrong with them. To explain what is wrong with them, let me introduce you to the Pareto principle.

5 Ways to Having More Time for Law Firm Owners

Uncategorized Mar 19, 2019

One of the biggest challenges facing a small law firm owner today is that of time or lack thereof. It isn’t due to anyone slacking off, law firm owners are very hard workers.

On the flipside, with all of their hard work, firm owners have the added challenge of performing the sales, marketing, customer service, collections, bookkeeping, etc. which eats into the ability to produce billable hours.

According to Randall Ryder of the Lawyerist.com in his article titled “Three Myths About Solo Attorneys” a firstyear associate works 80 hours per week whereas he puts in 50-55 hours per week. In another well publicized utilization rate study from Clio (2018), solo law firms collect fees on an average of 1.6 hours per day. This begs the obvious question – if a solo law firm owner works 50 to 80 hours per week, why are they only collecting for 8 hours of that time?
