The importance of organization

For April 17, 2025, and beyond, I encourage you to develop systems in your life that make it the perfect life that you visualize for yourself.

My example is my law practice. I am a solo attorney based in downtown Nashville. I reside in a building just across the river from the current juvenile courthouse. I walk across the bridge over the Cumberland River most every day to practice law in said courthouse.

I am compensated weekly by the state of Tennessee, Administrative Office of the Courts, through Daniels Capital Corporation, a finance company in Gardendale, Alabama. 

But here's the kicker, gentlemen: There is a system in place to ensure that my practice is successful in all phases: Cash flow to me, better service to clients, and a law practice that is free of stress.

For most lawyers, this would seem to be a pipe dream that could never be accomplished. To me, the system sharpens constantly, but the objectives never change. The Internet (which has existed throughout my time as a licensed attorney) and current court e-filing systems are amazing assets to solo lawyers. What would have never been possible in decades past without hiring a staff is now not only possible, but routine - even if the state doesn't pay you to hire a support staff. A support staff is not needed.

My system is not perfect, but it is rock solid and constantly changing with the times. If executed well, the work on the system will produce dividends as time marches on.

There is a system for answering emails, ordering mailing labels, sending billing statements in to the state, returning phone calls, and (most important of all) sending paper correspondence to clients.

But let's take this illustration and apply it to your life:

How about a system that helps you manage your personal and financial matters?

How about a system that guarantees that you'll always have an attractive woman by your side?

How about a system that guarantees that you'll have cash flowing in most all of the time?

The list goes on.  

More to come soon.
