BE THAT LAWYER

Brett Trembly: Staffing Up Your Law Firm

Episode Summary

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Brett Trembly discuss: Scheduling time off, not dropping agreements with yourself. The need to delegate to grow your firm. Tracking ALL of your time (not just the billable time). Getting over the mental minutia and the fear of hiring. Key Takeaways: You are losing money every time you do a $10 job that you can pay someone else for when you charge way more than that per hour. Hiring a good executive assistant will free up enough time for you to double your output and double your income. Your first hire should be someone to delegate to so you can protect your time as a law firm owner and allow you to focus on what only you can do (and what you love to do). When you hire, you can use those employees to help build your training material and process and procedure manuals. But you need the hands-on deck before you can build those SOPs. "You absolutely need to protect your time as the law firm owner more than anything else." —  Brett Trembly Get a free copy of Steve’s book “Sales-Free Selling” here: www.fretzin.com/sales-free-selling Thank you to our Sponsors!
