Let’s be honest, traditional small firm law practice is not working very well. Too many small firm lawyers struggle to make ends meet, get clients, meet clients’ expectations, or they wrestle with mental health issues or substance abuse. Meanwhile, there is a huge gap between those who need legal help and those who can get it. But it doesn’t have to be that way. We can build better firms, be more effective with our clients, enjoy better health and a greater sense of fulfillment, and make a bigger impact on our communities.With the client-centric law firm management model in The Small Firm Roadmap, you’ll see that getting started is easier than you think. The team from Lawyerist.com—Aaron Street, Sam Glover, Stephanie Everett, and Marshall Lichty—will help you gain clarity around your career and firm goals and identify successful strategies for starting, managing, and growing a thriving future-oriented law firm. If you’re ready to do great work that supports a great life, this book is for you.

I focus on growing clients, revenue, and systems for GroundSource, helping deliver its mobile-messaging platform to brands looking for intimate, two-way discussions with their communities, clients, and stakeholders.As GroundSource's primary EOS implementer and "Integrator," I frequently get to fire up my love for helping a visionary entrepreneur and his leadership team develop and grow skills, experience, tools, and accountability to strengthen GroundSource's vision, data, processes, "traction," issues, and people (including, importantly, GroundSource's commitment to an equitable sales process). I spend most of my energy providing a cadence for the business and its systems, finding and optimizing business technology tools, processes, and systems, holding GroundSource's leadership team accountable, removing obstacles, and creating organizational clarity, communication, and consistency.
