Work Smarter
Learn to create massive leverage to get more done with much less effort
Believe it or not, you can get much more of what you want in your practice with a lot less effort.
The first step is understanding how to leverage something called the 80/20 principle.
In a solo or small firm practice, you must lower your overhead as much as possible and maximize the ROI on all your time, effort, and money.
If you operate strategically using the 80/20 principle, you'll create extraordinary efficiency and massive ROI.
Using technology strategically is also vital. That means optimizing paperless workflows and then using automation as much as possible.
That will save you vast amounts of time and money —and allow you to improve the quality of the work dramatically.
Finally, leverage outsourcing for even greater ROI and cost savings.
Lawyers who do this can confidently take on more work, earn more, and —most importantly— enjoy more time off.
Unfortunately, too many lawyers work harder than necessary, not realizing there's a better way.
Leveraging technology enables you to
Dramatically lower your overhead (and keep much more of what you earn)
Create documents up to 300% faster (with fewer mistakes or problems)
Blitz through emails using canned responses created with text automation macros
Find any document you need in 15 seconds or less (even if all you have is a smartphone)
Work from anywhere (e.g. a plane flying at 30,000 feet, or a cruise ship in the Caribbean)
Keep your valuable data secure from cyber-criminals (step #1: use a password manager)
Find and hire low-cost, highly skilled virtual assistants (it's easier than you imagine)
Take more time away from work to relax and have fun (think: long vacations)

Briefly, here's my background...
I'm Ernie Svenson, a New Orleans lawyer who spent 18 years working in a big firm with fancy offices on the 40th floor of a tall building.
The firm handled complex business cases with well-paid paralegals organizing many boxes of documents.
One day, I discovered that I could scan paper into a computer. That meant I could put the equivalent of hundreds of boxes of paper into my 2-pound laptop.
This blew my mind. And not long after that...I said goodbye to the paralegals and goodbye to my big firm.
I then started a solo practice to harness the power of paperless automation. It was low-friction, low-overhead, and immensely satisfying.
Other lawyers wanted me to help them do the same, so I did. And that led to other opportunities. For example...
I was invited to speak at conferences like the ABA Tech Show in Chicago. The ABA then asked me to author some books on technology. And then, they gave me a special award.
Shortly after that, I gave up practicing law to focus full-time on helping lawyers who wanted to revamp their practices.
