MerriLyn Gibbs: Go Constantly in the Direction of Your Dreams

BE THAT LAWYER

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and MerriLyn Gibbs discuss:

• Staying focused on your goals.
• How Assistants 4 Hire works differently from a recruiting firm to help your law firm succeed.
• The art of delegation.
• Business lessons from the game of golf.
• How you show up every day will determine the results you get.

Key Takeaways:

• Delegation starts slow - you don’t have to delegate and forget, you can start with smaller tasks and check the work before the trust is built and you can truly let go of those tasks.
• If you’re looking for easy lead generation, start with your existing clients - reach out to them first, that’s where the low-hanging fruit is.
• Recognize the value in the bad shots - it’s not about how good your good shots are, it’s how quickly you can recover from the mistakes.
• Making mistakes is important. The key is not to keep making the same mistakes over and over.

"There's so much more learning in the errant shots. And that is what makes you a better golfer. Because the next time you see that, it's easier and easier and easier. And it's really fun when you pull off those impossible shots." — MerriLyn Gibbs
