Are you a lawyer who struggles with focusing on small issues? In this episode of the Maximum Lawyer Podcast, Tyson delves into the significance of perspective in problem-solving for law firm owners, inspired by a Mike Cernovich quote.

The quote is “The smaller you define your world, the bigger your problems seem”. For lawyers, little things can cause a lot of stress. This turns every small problem into a huge issue. If you take a step back and think about how that problem fits into your world, your mindset about little issues can really change.

One thing lawyers can do to overcome this is to think about how these issues affect your long term vision. Most times, these issues will not have an effect on where you want to go or what you want to accomplish. They will be small blips along the journey, so it is best to find ways to mitigate those issues. Mitigating can come in a few ways. One of these ways is to delegate tasks that are weighing heavily on you. Maybe intake is stressing you out or following up with some clients is time consuming. Delegate these tasks out to members of your team so you can feel less stressed and you can focus on other things.
