If you’re a lawyer running your own firm or managing a busy practice, you already know you need to find ways to manage your business and serve your clients in less time and with less effort.

You're looking for ways to run your practice, rather than letting it run you.

Time is your most valuable resource.

You know you need more time to practice law and still have time to develop new business and do all the other administrative things you have to do to keep your firm going.

You know you need efficient systems and maybe even some new technology. 

Reason 1

I don't have the time or money to make big changes

Clients want more for less. And you already feel overworked and underpaid. 

But every time you reinvent the wheel, or spend 15 minutes hunting for a document or trying to fix your technology systems, you're wasting time and losing money.

So the real question you need to ask yourself is this, "Can I really afford not to invest the time to improve how I work?"

Do you know that shaving a minute off one routine thing you do every day can save you 20 hours across the year?

You CAN have a big impact on the efficiency and profitability of your practice just by making SMALL changes that don't require a lot of time or money.  

Reason 2

Law is different; it's too hard to make changes that stick and I can't afford to take that risk

Change can be hard, especially in a traditional profession like ours. We're risk-averse and we like doing things the way we've always done them. It's easy to ignore new approaches, and even easier for people to slide back into their old ways when the new "solution" doesn't actually fix their problems, work they way they think it should, or deliver the benefits they expected.

Part of the problem is that changes are often imposed on us by others. They don't respond to what we need or want. 

You can reduce the risks of your changes not sticking by empowering yourself and your team to become authors of change, rather than victims of change.

And you can learn from people who really understand the business and practice of law, with a tried and true framework and a proven track record of success in law.

Reason 3

I'm too busy to learn this stuff

It's true that learning new skills takes time. When you run your own practice, it's hard—sometimes impossible—to take a couple of days off to travel to a conference or a professional development course. It's one reason why so few lawyers in small firms and solo practices have the skills they need to increase the efficiency of their practices.

Most of them are just too busy cutting wood to stop and sharpen the saw...even when they know a sharper saw would make their work so much easier.

By investing a little time, at your own pace, across a period of a few weeks, you can learn easy-to-implement skills that will help you build a more profitable practice and set you head-and-shoulders above the competition.

Module 1

See your practice differently

If you keep doing the same thing over and over, expecting a different result, you're wasting your valuable time and energy. Throughout this program, you're going to learn to see your practice differently, so you can start doing things differently and finally get the results you want. It starts right here in Module 1. 

We'll look at what's changing in the legal profession today and examine what's driving YOU to do things differently in your own practice. You'll start by defining your vision for the future. Your new insight will give you the power to build the practice you want, whatever that looks like to you. We'll introduce your toolkit and the 5-step Practice Accelerator Framework, and you'll...

Learn to:

• Understand what law firms need for growth
• Define what success looks like for you
• Harness the power of incremental change

Module 2

Identify Your ONE Big Thing

Law is knowledge work. It's true that a lot of what your clients value comes from what goes on inside your head…but everything outside your head is a process. And every one of those processes can be improved.

In this module, we’re going to look hard at the processes you have in place  and identify the ones you need to accelerate your practice.

You’re going to identify ONE IMPORTANT PROCESS you want to improve. Over the next few weeks, we’re going to teach you, step-by-step, exactly how you’re going to make that process better.

Learn to:

• Define your work. It's the first step in our Practice Accelerator Framework
• Look at what you do through the eyes of your clients: who are they and what do they need & want
• Understand the processes law firms need to succeed and take a hard look at own your processes
• Select your TARGET, the one key process you're going to work on for the rest of Practice Accelerator. If you follow our framework and put in the work, you will see results within the next 90 days.

Module 3

Set Your Baseline

You can’t improve what you can’t see. In this module you’ll focus on how you work now to deliver what your clients need. In this second step in the Practice Accelerator Framework, you'll MEASURE the performance of  your current state.

We’ll introduce you to the concepts of value and waste, and teach you how to identify the wastes in the way you work. 

Your goal: to understand your baseline so you can accelerate from there.

Learn to:

• Use the DOWNTIME method for spotting the eight wastes that are making your work take longer than it should, or seem harder than it should
• Identify the wastes, frustrations, and friction points in your practice, and especially in your target process
• Start thinking like an innovator: every problem you identify is an opportunity to make your practice better
