I've gotten some pretty massive things done because of the structure of the quarterly strategic planning. I have a friend that I chat with about law firm owner stuff and she always comments on how much I get done. I feel like I can because I'm not wasting my efforts on things that aren't actually going to help me reach my goals.

I really look forward to the quarterly strategic planning sessions! I wasn't so sure about taking a whole day off from the practice just to plan - but the level of clarity and focus I get from that day drives the rest of the quarter. I will try super hard never to miss one of the QPRs.

I've always known my revenue per matter, I've known how many matters I open, my total revenue, etcetera. But I didn’t really understand what to do with that information, and how making different tweaks to what I was doing would actually drive results that were bigger than I had ever imagined.

I have felt the amazing personal encouragement of Melissa and her team in a few ways. Firstly, they've taken the time to delve into my personal barriers, which include mental health and self-doubt. Additionally, they've helped me recognize the importance of time management, considering factors such as parenting, caseload, and pro-bono obligations.

It is very helpful to be guided through thoughtful questions to consider about my firm, the direction of my firm, and my thoughts about my firm, setting goals and breaking those down into rocks and breaking my rocks down into action steps, and crunching the numbers to set specific financial goals. Also, hearing other members talk about their businesses and business goals gives me confidence to dream bigger for me and my firm.

Melissa's kindness, and not just Melissa, but the entire Velocity team followed up with me. They checked in on how things were going, if there were any changes or improvements, etc. Even the smallest follow-up meant a lot.
