Good cash flow is critical to a successful law practice! The sooner you get paid, the sooner you can pay your bills and yourself! But how much time do you spend chasing clients to get paid? How long does it take you, on average, to get the money? How many steps does the client have […]
Time is finite; we all have the same 24 hours in any day. So we have no choice but to make the most of what we are given. We have to be efficient with our time. This means doing things like maintaining focus on tasks during the workday, not letting people steal our time, and […]
