You have probably heard the saying, “the best time to plant a tree was 50 years ago. The second best time is today.” There is so much truth in this proverb and it applies perfectly to how we handle delays, and negative mindsets in our law firm. Let’s chat about how you can approach problem-solving in your business. 

In this episode I discuss:

• Three things to think about when you are approaching problem-solving in your law firm.
• Developing strategies for how to solve problems.
• Additional problems caused by delaying solutions.
• How delay tends to beget more delay.
• Breaking the habit of hiring with a negative mindset.
• Recognizing the power that we give to our own ineptitude.

 

My Favorite Excerpt From The Episode:

It's a rule that exists if I feel like following it, or it's a rule that exists if there's no exigent circumstance or it's a rule that exists, but I can override it if something really important comes up. So the delay in your choice to address that problem has allowed those seeds of miseducation to seep into your team.
