Time management, boundaries, delegation, and life-first strategies for law firm owners who want more freedom without sacrificing firm growth.
Tears 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 MoreLet me set the stage. It was a Sunday and I was hungry (I swear this is relevant). My wife wanted to go to the farmers market, which normally I enjoy, but with 75hard still going, I had less interest in it (because I couldn’t eat anything there) and wanted to instead stay home, eat my
Read MoreI don’t work Tuesday or Friday unless it’s a holiday that prevented me from working M/W/Th or I want to work some extra time for a specific purpose (let’s be real, I never want to do that unless it’s a speaking engagement, fun networking event, or I am onboarding a new team member and need
Read MoreHappy Independence Day! While we celebrate the birth of our nation and the freedoms we cherish, it’s a perfect time to reflect on what freedom means for us as law firm owners. And luckily we don’t even have to worry about joining in the largest aerial battle in the history of mankind and fight off
Read MoreWork-Life Balance isn’t a thing…at least in the modern way we consider it. Each week is made up of 168 hours (112 if you take out 8 hours a night for sleep). And work shouldn’t be half of that (even if 53 hours a week would be less work for some of our colleagues). Also…work
Read MoreAs I often say, the best part of this industry is the people. While so many lawyers get a bad rap for being egotistical assholes (because many of them are) there are still a bunch of US (yes I am including you and I hope you include me) who are cool people and the more
Read MoreI am writing this the day after Father’s Day. And to be honest, I had a GREAT day. It was wonderful and while not every day can be that awesome (I would have a heart attack from the meat consumption) it did get me thinking about creating your PERFECT day. And while we all know
Read MoreWhat do Tony Stark (Iron Man) and Ron Swanson have in common? Besides their love for bacon (okay, mostly Ron Swanson on that one), they represent two extremes that, while entertaining in fiction, could be disastrous in real life – especially in your law firm. Tony Stark is reckless, diving headfirst into every challenge, throwing
Read MoreSo last week I did another round of employee evals. As you know (or can see in the link), I end them asking for feedback on me and 2 of my employees commented on how they started using some of my calendar tips and tricks and how it’s helped them. This, combined with a wild
Read MoreWhat do Scooby-Doo, the gang in the Mystery Machine, and your law firm have in common? They’re always chasing issues/monsters that turn out to be…not real. Every episode goes the same way: Now swap “haunted carnival” for “calendar full of chaos” and “Old Man Jenkins” for “poor delegation and no boundaries”… Welcome to your business…wait…welcome
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).
