I don’t have any employees right now, but over the years I have hired, trained, and supervised many. Having employees allowed me to substantially increase my income and decrease my workload. It gave me the leverage I needed to grow my practice.
But just because I don’t have employees today doesn’t mean I don’t have that leverage. There are many ways to utilize the time and talents of other people without having them fill out a W-2.
In one of my businesses, I “work with” hundreds of independent contractors who contribute to my income. I’ve never met most of them. And in my attorney marketing business, I use outside contractors who provide professional and technical assistance and are very good at what they do.
Lawyers can do the same thing by using the services of paralegals, attorneys, virtual assistants and other independent contractors. The more you hire, the more time you will have to do high-paid legal work and bring in more clients.
If you’re trying to do everything yourself, not only are you working harder than you need to, you’re not earning as much as you could. You don’t have to take on the headaches of hiring employees, you have other options.
Some attorneys say they can’t afford to hire others because they don’t have enough work. I say they don’t have enough work because they’re not hiring others.
There is an African saying: “If you want to go quickly, go alone. If you want to go far, go with a group.”
