SPRING CHECK-UP FOR

YOUR LAW FIRM : How Implementing a 12 Week Year Leads to Effective Goal Execution

By Ken Hardison
In my 30 + years of experience , I ’ ve found that most lawyers and firm owners don ’ t struggle to set goals at the start of the new year . Most of us get excited for the opportunity a new year brings , and we start January ready to tackle our goals with a vengeance . What most of us struggle with is the follow-through as the year progresses . Once the newness of January / February wears off , it ’ s easy to get side-tracked when it comes to the goals you and your firm set at the beginning of 2024 .
But here ’ s the thing : growth and success don ’ t happen by chance . If you want your law firm to continue a path of greater success this year , you need :
1 . a Precise Vision for where you want to take your law firm , 2 . a Goal Blueprint for how you and your team will get there , and 3 . a Clear-Cut Execution Strategy for how you ’ ll measure success and refocus your attention throughout the year .
