    Mike Morse’s “Closing Argument”

    Click here to listen to the full episode.
     
    I love this profession. I love helping people. I love helping other lawyers get to where I feel like I’m at, which is working in my sweet spot, which I define as working on things I love to do and things I’m great at. I’ve helped over 40,000 clients throughout my career. I’m handling thousands of cases right now, but what’s moving me now is helping lawyers be happier, helping lawyers be better. And that lights me up. I’m seeing lawyers become happier. I’m seeing lawyers move into their sweet spots, making less money while being able to be home with their children more. I’ve never been a workaholic, and I think some of these business skills that we’re teaching about delegation and having great teams and making sure you’re hiring the right people is so important.
     
    Right now, I’m super pumped up about helping law firms and law firm owners figure out their “Cherry Garcia” and, you know, making their firms more fireproof. All they need to do is understand that their law firms are businesses. Some people call my firm the best-run firm in the country. I’m still working on my firm every week, and so I encourage others to do the same thing. And I’m just out there now teaching firms how to make sure you’re ready for that disaster in your market. And I think that if you do the things that we talk about in Fireproof, you wouldn’t have to shut down for an earthquake, for a tornado, for a hurricane, for COVID, for a fire. I’d love to see every lawyer in the country in a mastermind one day, whether it’s run by Fireproof or run by somebody else.
     
    They are just so helpful, and I don’t think everybody even knows about them. I’m going to keep meeting new people, keep getting on stages and sharing all of this fun stuff, encouraging law firms to take on that case that’s not going to make you any money, but it’s going to make you a better person. It’s going to make your law firm better. It’s going to make your lawyers love you. It’s going to make your communities be in awe of you and why you’re taking it. In these cases, these things are not that hard. You just have to commit to them and think differently.
