I need to apologize for something. As much as I talk about being more efficient and getting more stuff done in less time…I realized that I have not been hard enough on multitasking. Multitasking is the bane of modern knowledge worker’s existence. This is why serfs in medieval times worked fewer hours than the average person
Read MoreI don’t do much for my law firm. I run a meeting once a week, I hire people when we need to, I hang out with my friends (but my accountant tells me to call them referral sources) and we do fun things (which I am told to call NETWORKING) and I do (or at
Read MoreWe all hate email. Do you know why modern email is the way it is? It can get WAY more complicated than this, but basically IBM built a server for internal use in the 1970s and then sold it to clients in the 1980s and viola. No fancy study about best practices. And really no
Read MoreLast Sunday I had to pick my wife up from the airport. Scratch that…last Sunday I GOT to pick my wife up from the airport (more of this mindset shift next week…) And because it’s 2023…her flight ended up getting delayed, which then caused them to have to wait on the tarmac for a gate…which
Read MoreGod, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. This is the serenity prayer. I know it from having a family member go through a 12 step program and I think about it a lot. If you
Read MoreThe funniest part of clio-con for me was the people who came up to me and said something like “I saw you, I thought you were you, and then I saw your shirt and KNEW you were you.” It was such a funny branding moment that my online persona (the Hawaiian shirts) made people realize
Read MoreHey there, my fang-tastic law firm leaders! The dark and spooky season is upon us, a time when ghouls and ghosts roam the streets. But in our hallowed halls, we aim for no hauntings, only happy clients! Just as Jack Skellington wanted to bring the joy of Christmas to Halloween Town, we aim to give
Read MoreI have to be honest with you. Sometimes I have NO clue how things are going to go. This could be my wife finding a joke I made funny (or NOT) when I expected the opposite. It could be my kid doing something I did expect (for better or worse). Or it can be on
Read MoreTears might be for fears…but tools are NOT for fools. What’s the most important discovery in human history? I would argue it’s the domestication of fire. The heat kept us alive, helped us cook food, and gave us a place to congregate around. Plus the light allowed us to be more aware of our surroundings
Read MoreHello, Law Guardians of the Galaxy! No one ever gets out of the car after a long drive and thinks, “wow, I am so grateful to not have gotten into an accident or been stuck in too much traffic.” Or at least no one “normal” ever does that. But a few weeks ago I flew
Read MoreBest Spot!
I love being invited to events— especially when it involves the chance to help more people run a business they can be proud of while living a life that’s even better. Whether it’s your awesome podcast or the conference of the year, let’s chat about how I can help make it that much better.
Being Green.
And it’s not easy to build a successful business while maintaining a sense of control over your life, either. That’s why I’m here, to help you create the kind of life you will love to live. Yep, you can have your cake and eat it too. Who would want a cake they can’t eat? (even if I am more of a cookie/brownie type guy).
