By providing clear context and specifics, lawyers can prompt AI to deliver consistently valuable outputs.

Identifying key tasks to automate through “Zaps” streamlines workflow across platforms for greater efficiency.

Resilience enables lawyers to maintain focus amid setbacks and tech challenges.
Adopting a “there’s always a way” mindset and leveraging support teams can reduce stress and ensure continuous progress.

Lawyers benefit by fully utilizing current tech tools and staying open to new innovations.
5. Reading People and People Skills
Effective legal practice relies on understanding clients’ and colleagues’ motivations.
Observing body language and non-verbal cues, as in poker, refines these skills, strengthening relationships and decision-making.
6. Bonus: Having a Growth Mindset and Lifelong Commitment to Learning
A growth mindset allows lawyers to see change as an opportunity for advancement.
Staying informed and continually learning fosters long-term success and helps maintain a competitive edge.
"The amount of automations you have running for your law firm is greatly positively correlated to the amount of revenue you generate." — Sam Mollaei
"I’ve talked to so many attorneys who say, ‘I tried it, but couldn't get it to work, so I gave up.’ Okay, if you can’t get it to work, you need to understand why, and find someone who can." — Neil Tyra
