Hacking’s Hack:
I’m really excited about this week’s hack, it comes from a lawyer in my office named Ashley Moore. If you go to printfriendly.com you can enter the URL and it will print just the text, no ads or anything else cluttering the printed paper.
Tyson’s Tip:
I just finished listening to the podcast Land of the Giants. The first season goes in-depth with how Amazon started out and how they grew to the size they are today.
Jess’s Tip:
In Zapier, I recently learned that you can filter information from data that you have. So you can pull just an email, or just a phone number from your data. The conditional formatting is pretty amazing and will let you do just about anything you want.

I listen to every podcast, Saturday morning shows, HotSeats, etc. The information and ideas I learn from
each one. I may only receive a nugget of information, or feel encouraged that I am not the only one
going through something.

The podcast and fb group has been life altering. I always felt like I would never know enough to hang my
own shingle and employ people, but here I am, killing it. Lots of actionable steps for working on mindset,
business (some I had to go outside of law to learn) and really gathering attorneys who are willing to
share and lift up others, as opposed to tearing other attorneys down. I first heard about the podcast on
Ernie the Attorneys podcast and how they were doing amazing stuff. And they continue to do so. Now if
we could bring back maxlawcon I’d be over the moon.

From Capacity to Capability: Making the Call to Add a Seat on the Bus
The difference between capacity and capability is crucial to knowing when it is time to bring somebody onboard. Capacity is about the numbers. How many people do you have currently and how many tasks are getting completed? Capability is about leveraging the right skills and innovation to grow your business. Focus on hiring someone who will be an asset and will give you the leverage needed to be a better company.
