EOS

Quotes:

“…I think the biggest change I see is that they’re just a lot happier with not only their work life, but their personal life.” Deam Roys, (3:26)

“With EOS, not only does it help kind of give them a structure to align things a little bit better in their business, but it also gives them time for their own personal life at home, which I think a lot of them going into it don’t realize is imbalanced.” Deam Roys (3:48)

“I think that I would imagine many of these visionaries after going through EOS…must ask themselves what took them so long. How many years of their life that they lost not being able to spend their life doing the things that they really love. You know, why did it take them this long to get around to all this?” Deam Roys, (13:21)

“Half the battle, I think, is from the founder or visionary standpoint, trying to figure out what they’re not good at, you know? Because they kind of think they’re decent at doing everything and obviously they’re better at doing some things than others. But being able to admit that, ‘Hey, I’m not really that good at doing this and it’d be better for me to hire somebody to do this for me that’s actually good at it.’ Just admitting that and going through that process alone is half the battle.” Deam Roys, (20:01)

“We help them basically take the chains of entrepreneurial-ism off and help them really start living their life and enjoying their life.” Deam Roys, (35:07)

Summary:

In this episode of Where There’s a Will, There’s a Way, host Will Crist talked with Michael Morse, the owner and founder of the largest law firm in Michigan. Michael started his law firm over 25 years ago, and he ran the law firm with no business background whatsoever. After 15 years in the practice, Michael realized he needed help, and his firm became the first law firm to adopt the EOS model. The firm now thrives and even mentors other firms through their Fireproof program which is adapted for law firms. Throughout the episode, Will and Michael discussed how EOS has changed the firm and its employees for the better and how other law firms can do the same.

Quotes:

“I mean every business concept that I now know pretty darn well now, after all this time, I learned from him and EOS…it transformed me in a very short period of time to a very robust law firm with good business practices, good core values, good everything… I couldn’t have done it without everything that I’ve learned throughout this process.” Michael Morse, (5:56)

”…We’ve worked with over 30 law firms individually…and their eyes are huge when they learn some of these concepts that they should be doing to run a really good law firm, because the traditional way to look at this is: law firms are not businesses, they are law firms…so it is fertile ground for implementers to go out there…and teach them. And that’s what we’re trying to do is spread the gospel and teach them how to run a really good business.” Michael Morse, (10:43)

”I think most law firm owners are doing too much. They’re hitting the ceiling. They’re not working in their sweet spots. They’re not enjoying life…They don’t know how to delegate. They don’t know their numbers…you can ask a few questions and prove that they’re hitting the ceiling…[I ask], what if I could teach you a way that you could work on all day everyday things that you’re great at doing and that you love to do? Would you like to hear more about that? Who’s going to say no to that?” Michael Morse, (11:41)

”I think that learning the things that we’ve learned and making a difference in our law firm is definitely spreading and making the world a better place.” Michael Morse, (15:51)

”If you do embrace this…as a business lifestyle, it really does work. It’s not pie in the sky. It’s take some time. It’s not overnight. You don’t read the book and wake up and you’re living these five things. Absolutely not. It’s taken me 15 years…but it definitely works.” Michael Morse, (33:36)
