"Everyone is always doing the best they can do. When you see someone loafing off and doing a horrible job, it's important not to take that personally. As bad as that is, that person is doing the best they can do."

Welcome inside the vault. This is a collection of previously unreleased lessons from eight-figure entrepreneurial mastermind RJon Robins. And in case you didn't see the warning label, this content can be explicit and is for serious entrepreneurs only.

In this important lesson, RJon walks members of How To MANAGE a Small Law Firm through the difficult but necessary process of firing low-performing employees with integrity and compassion. He explains why being "slow to hire and fast to fire" protects your business, your team, and even the person being terminated. Through candid insights and practical strategies, RJon addresses the emotional challenges business owners face when making these types of difficult decisions. 

Key Takeaways:

1. Be as objective as possible when thinking about employee performance or lack thereof

2. Good employees want bad performers gone just as much as you do

3. Take the "relief test": If you'd feel relief if someone gave their two weeks' notice, they need to go

4. Understand the strategic options between immediate termination or a "workout" arrangement

5. Having a termination checklist prepared before you need it puts business owners in a position of strength at all times

RJon acknowledges that it is normal to feel uncomfortable about firing someone. He explains how planning and the right mindset prepare law firm owners to handle these difficult situations while protecting their business and supporting the rest of their team.
