How I Turned My Struggles Into Success: A Personal Journey by Mike Morse
Twenty years ago, I was making good money but working twelve-hour days. I was so busy practicing law that I had no time for the business side of things. My quality of life declined, and I barely had time for my family. I was exhausted, constantly running on empty.
In 2007, I decided to make a change. At the advice of my father-in-law, I hired a business coach, Gino Wickman. During our first retreat, I brought my assistant, top lawyer, and top paralegal. We discussed our struggles and restructured responsibilities. By the end of the day, my workload was 50% lighter, and I felt instant relief.
Steps I Took to Succeed:
- Hire a Business Coach: Seek professional guidance to gain fresh perspectives and practical solutions.
- Delegate Responsibilities: Trust your team with important tasks to lighten your load and improve efficiency.
- Build a Leadership Team: Identify and empower key team members to take on leadership roles.
- Communicate Openly: Share your challenges with your team and involve them in problem-solving.
- Continuously Evolve: Regularly assess and adapt your business structure to meet changing needs.
This simple act of delegation transformed my practice and my life. It taught me the importance of seeking help and trusting my team. Our structure has evolved, but the lesson remains: don’t bite off more than you can chew.
Takeaway:
Investing in yourself and your team is crucial. If you’re overwhelmed, don’t be afraid to delegate and seek guidance. This is your path to a balanced and prosperous law firm.
