Crushing Chaos - Allison Williams - Episode # 025 Solo de Facto
-
- Entrepreneurship
Allison Williams is the Business Coach for Solo Law Firm Owners at Law Firm Mentor, LLC. She’s seen firsthand what working too many hours can do a person, and she wants to get the word out about it. She joins host Tom Dufton to talk about how to avoid burnout and gives her tips on how to run a successful law firm.
Takeaways
Systematize everything. The more organized you are, the easier your work life will be as everything's in its proper place.
Outsourcing helps if you want to have more time. Having more time on your plate allows you to focus on the areas you are strong in.
Always look to hire someone who can bring in more money. They might cost more in the short run, but at the end of the day the money they are bringing to your firm is greater than that of someone you would spend less on.
Invest in your people. Taking the time to train your employees and making sure they are a good fit will provide a great benefit in the long run.
Set your mindset so that you are focusing on things you can accomplish. It’s easy to get weighed down by the negative. Believe in your goals.
Even when you work from home, act and dress as if you are at work because you are still on the clock.
Don’t be a victim of burnout. Make sure to stay sharp and set boundaries in your work life so you don’t spend all your energy and time working.
Quote of the show
13:24 “We tell people, do a rinse and repeat on your mindset. Let's figure out what is working. And let's figure out what's not working. Leave the things that are not working. You have to be more aggressively in pursuit of what you are seeking, but when you do that, the right person sees the right message in the right time for them.”
