EP5 Ch 3 - The Missing Piece | Estate Planning for Lawyers with Robert Bunn

Most attorneys have a vision statement for their practice. A written one. A thought-out one. And for most of them, that vision sits on a shelf and never moves the practice forward. This episode is about the gap between the two, and a framework for closing it by Monday morning.

In Episode 5, Robert covers Chapter 3 of Time Management for Attorneys: A Lawyer's Guide to Decreasing Stress, Eliminating Interruptions & Getting Home on Time, by Mark Powers and Shawn McNalis, published by Atticus®. The chapter introduces strategic goals as the bridge between a vision statement and the practice you actually live in.

What you will hear:

• Why a vision statement, by itself, will not moveyour practice forward
• The difference between action verbs and mentalverbs, and why this distinction matters more than you think
• The Goal Grid framework for working backwardsfrom a five-year vision Stephen Covey's "Begin with the End in Mind" applied to a law practice through a prosecutor's lens
• Five concrete things you can do Monday morningto put this chapter to work
