Business Systems: Stop Trying To Do Everything Yourself.

Un-Billable Hour: Business Management Strategies for the Busy Lawyer

In this episode:

• Law is intense, and you love your business. But are you trying to do everything?
• Trust the team you’ve hired. You can do too much, and you’re not that special.
• Make the best use of your time, don’t micromanage. It’s not sustainable and it’s not profitable.
• Learn about “calendar blocking,” building space for success. The habit you must learn.

Guest Corine Rogers, a Clio systems and efficiency master, has a vital message: You can’t do everything, and you aren’t that important. Help your law firm build business operations systems, then trust your team.

“Systems” are the repeatable ways you delegate tasks to others you trust. You selected your team, but do you let them do what you hired them to do? Do they believe that you believe in you? Get out of the way.

Start with the tasks that you simply don’t like. Baby steps. Don’t fall victim to drowning in the mundane and the things that aren’t the best use of your time.

You can’t create more hours in a day. So free yourself to do more of what you are best at and let others inside your business do the other tasks. In this important episode of The Un-Billable Hour, we hold up a mirror to help you see what you are doing to yourself if you can’t let your team shoulder some of the load. Plus, what doing your laundry can teach you about your business.
