Episode notes

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Alan Crone discuss:

Gaining focus and clarity in what you find the most important.
Transitioning clients to other lawyers in your firm, not just seeking you as the brand.
Putting great systems in place within your firm.
Delegating for success, not for frustration.

Key Takeaways:

As long as you work hard, and work smart, you can do whatever you put your mind to.
You must run your law firm like a business, because it is one.
Invest money in your people and train, train, train.
You can’t always hire for potential, sometimes you have to hire for skill. And hire someone who fits the culture, not just has the skills.

"Delegation is the most sincere act of humility - to be able to delegate something to someone else and say that I don’t have to do it in order for it to be successful. Now you’re going to be successful, and someone else is going to be successful. It’s an exponential win-win." — Alan Crone
