Buying Back Your Time - Nequosha Anderson - Episode # 023

Solo de Facto

Nequosha Anderson is the Founder and Managing Attorney at Anderson Law Firm PLLC. She is also the co-host of the Professional Use Only Podcast. She sees the importance of time and how precious it is, and she has some great advice on how attorneys can use their time wisely and how outsourcing can help with that. She joins host Tom Dufton to share that and more information for how to successfully run a solo law practice.

Takeaways

• Hire help as soon as possible. This allows you more time to focus on the things that you know and do the best, while having someone else focus on a different task.
• Time is incredibly valuable. You can’t buy back any amount of time, and you can save yourself stress by outsourcing.
• Write down all the things you do in a day, and put a value of how much time and money it costs you to do those things, then outsource the ones that take up most of your time.
• You don’t have to know everything. It’s ok to not have all the information, sometimes you learn more when you are out in the trenches.
• A big challenge for a lot of solo attorneys is finances. It can be a difficult subject to understand so outsourcing for that will save a lot of money and stress.
• Have sympathy for others. You don’t know what other people are going through or what they might know, so have patience and be kind.
• Most lawyers struggle with networking because they weren’t taught to focus on that. But building relationships can lead to new clients.

Quote of the show:

2:00 “Hiring help early allows you to buy back your time. That's the most important resource that you will ever have. If you can buy back time, it affords you the opportunity to do other things that you wouldn't necessarily be able to do if your deliverables are keeping you in the line of production.”
