You can’t see the full picture when you are in the frame. You have to step out of the frame in order to get a panoramic view and gain better clarity and perspective.

Paulo Coelho said it best, “You drown, not by falling in a river, but by staying in it”.

With the current challenges facing you, your practice and the rest of the world, don’t allow yourself to get drowned in it. Don’t just zoom in and focus on the challenges, you can zoom out as well and look for opportunities in the midst of it all and allow new energy and new ideas flow through you.

Sometimes the answers you are looking for, come outside of where you are focused on. When you find the answers, do not hesitate for a moment to dive into them and make them work for you. When you find the answers you are looking for, that is not the time to doubt yourself or fear failure. Go all in and give it your best and you will be surprised at your results.

Always remember, to see the big picture, you have to first get out of the frame. The fact that you’re in the legal profession, doesn’t mean that’s where all the answers are. Get out of that frame of what you are used to and see all the other possibilities of how things can be done better to meet the challenges that COVID-19 has brought.

It is no longer news that most economies are already in a recession, mostly caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the subsequent lockdown and the decline in the oil prices and other economic activities.

The only businesses that will thrive are those who are able to leverage the changing times and adapt their businesses to the new realities.

This is the time to innovate and re-work your business strategies. Every business will not innovate the same, but there are principles that work across the board. You just have to take them and apply them to your own unique situation in such a time as this.

Here is a recent statement in Forbes: “coronavirus fears may drive … e-commerce sales beyond 2020 projections—and change how people shop in the future.”

Meaning even after the pandemic has all passed, people will be buying more ONLINE and also doing businesses more ONLINE. Physical business transactions, physical professional practices will be relegated to the background.

With businesses going online, it will be a gold mine of opportunities for law firms that have their processes automated to function remotely or digitally from anywhere.

Telling you now that “remote office operation”  and “virtual legal practice” is the way forward, will be an understatement. If you never believed it, it is becoming more and more glaring.

So, if there is ever a time and opportunity to position yourself and firm to be at the forefront of these new trends, it is NOW!

Once again, the opportunity to position yourself and firm to be at the forefront of this new economy has never been better than now.

You can literally from home, turn on your computer or phone and get in front of your ideal clients, in front of Judges in Courtrooms, file your documents or present your matter or case in court.

This is a huge shift from the normal and a massive opportunity for those that have their office operations set up to run virtually. Virtual offices and virtual legal practice is the new norm.
