You’ve heard us say this before, but it takes more than good lawyering to run a successful law firm. There’s a whole raft of skills that law school didn’t teach you. Well, today I want to share some really exciting news with you. After using the Business Made Simple online learning platform for over a year, my partner David Skinner took the leap and became a Business Made Simple Certified Coach.

This is going to be huge! With the knowledge he gained during his training, and the wealth of experience in the Business Made Simple community of coaches and guides, David now brings even more value to the entrepreneurial legal professionals we work with.

Business Made Simple was created by New York Times best-selling author and serial entrepreneur, Donald Miller. As CEO of StoryBrand and Business Made Simple, he teaches business professionals from start-ups to multinational corporations how to grow their businesses.

We spent a year using Business Made Simple’s tools and resources to improve our own business. Once we saw the impact it had on our growth, we knew it would translate directly into revenue for you, our clients.

We’ve learned so much about marketing, sales, communications, productivity and leadership, and we’ve always believed that when you run your law practice like a business, you’ll be more successful.

Business Made Simple can help you to do that.

So we’ve added Business Made Simple’s practical, step-by-step frameworks to our own Practice Accelerator approach. David has started coaching entrepreneurial legal professionals on creating their vision, improving their personal productivity, clarifying their marketing message, and communicating more effectively, so they can build more productive and profitable legal practices.

We know that by growing and improving your practice, you’ll be better able to carve out time for the people, places and things you love.

Today’s tip is simple: The first step to improving your practice is to determine its gaps and shortcomings.
