A few weeks ago, the Total Practice Management Association sponsored the Get a Life conference, which it describes as an event to help attorneys "manage all the moving parts of a successful law practice and still have a life." I spoke with Kevin Chern, the President of Total Attorneys, Inc., which founded of the Total Practice Management Association and served as the principal sponsor of the conference. There were purportedly 250 live attendees and over 2,100 unique log-ins to its real-time web stream.
Kevin highlighted:
- By doing things smarter, you can work less and be more successful, e.g., instead of managing staff, hire virtual assistants.
- There is a misconception that you have to start working at 9am and leave the office at 5 or 6pm. By having balance, there does not need to be a strict demarcation between your personal and professional life.
His ultimate message: You can have a better quality of life and be more successful while working more reasonable hours.
