In this episode of The Rainmaking Podcast, host Scott Love continues the conversation with Jay Harrington, legal marketing consultant and author of The Productivity Pivot, on how professionals can scale their practices through better time management, vision-driven planning, and systems thinking. Jay explains that building a sustainable book of business requires carving out time to work on your practice, not just in it. He introduces the importance of the Eisenhower Matrix to distinguish between urgent and important tasks, and urges professionals to eliminate or delegate low-value activities in order to make room for high-impact work like business development and leadership.

Jay outlines how systems—such as onboarding processes, billing procedures, and client workflows—can be documented and delegated to free up capacity. He emphasizes the power of creating a long-term vision, setting measurable goals, and enlisting team members to share in that vision. With clear examples and actionable steps, this episode offers a blueprint for lawyers and professionals who want to grow their practice with more clarity, consistency, and control.
