Three Friday Freebies for Solos
Here are three, terrific freebies for solos that have come through my email in the past week or so. They are:
1. Lisa Solomon of Question of Law and The Billable Hour has posted the free webinar that she organized a few weeks back, Blogging for Lawyers, featuring Grant Griffiths. And state tuned for when yesterday’s webinar, The Power of Branding and Image for Attorneys hits Lisa’s site.
2. RJ Robins of How to Make It Rain offers an e-book entitled "Ten Rainmaking Mistakes Solos Make" free for download here. I read through this one and while it’s more like an e-pamphlet than a book, there’s some decent information.
3. Via Peter Olson at Solo in Chicago is a link to Ernie the Attorney’s post and accompanying PDF presentation on Managing a Paperless Office.
Of course, there’s no such thing as a free lunch. While these resources may all be free, can you free the time to take advantage of them? (By the way, if anyone has tips on what you do to make the time to follow up on these kinds of articles, e.g., reading them on the train to work or in bed at night, please share your ideas below).
With proper planning and just a little bit of discipline, you’ll find it takes far less time, than most people think to professionally operate a successful law firm. However, many lawyers are disadvantaged by our law school education which emphasizes adherence to precedents. And too often the lawyers with whom I share these exercises begin by budgeting the life they are already unsatisfied with. . . instead of the one they WANT to lead. For anyone who is interested in learning more about how an undisciplined & disorganized solo learned how and has helped (lost count how many) hundreds of other busy solo’s budget their time, using practical…not pie-in-the-sky…techniques that acutally work, you can find it by reading a recent e-zine article I wrote entitled A Busy Lawyer’s Guide To Budgeting Your Time. And while you’re there, sign-up for your FREE subscription. Reading what I write & listening to my audio programs will be a profitable use of your time, I promise!
