Know what your hour is worth
Enter your hourly billing year-to-date and your estimated hours worked. Include client consultations, case review, drafting, research, hearings, administrative work, business development, and team management, every hour that goes into running your practice, not just the billable ones.
Hourly billing YTD ÷ hours worked YTD
= your true income per hour.

The leverage rule
If someone else can do a task for 25% or less of your income per hour, leverage it. Your job is not to do everything, your job is to protect your highest-value hours: legal strategy, client counsel, negotiation, and the work that actually requires your license.
What should you leverage first?
