Summary:
\\nIn this episode of Where There\\u2019s a Will, There\\u2019s 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.

\\nQuotes:
\\n\\u201cI mean every business concept that I now know pretty darn well now, after all this time, I learned from him and EOS\\u2026it transformed me in a very short period of time to a very robust law firm with good business practices, good core values, good everything\\u2026 I couldn't have done it without everything that I've learned throughout this process.\\u201d Michael Morse, (5:56)

\\n\\u201d...We've worked with over 30 law firms individually\\u2026and 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\\u2026so it is fertile ground for implementers to go out there\\u2026and 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.\\u201d Michael Morse, (10:43)

\\n\\u201dI 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\\u2026They don't know how to delegate. They don't know their numbers\\u2026you can ask a few questions and prove that they're hitting the ceiling\\u2026[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?\\u201d Michael Morse, (11:41)

\\n\\u201dI 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.\\u201d Michael Morse, (15:51)

\\u201dIf you do embrace this\\u2026as 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\\u2019s taken me 15 years\\u2026but it definitely works.\\u201d Michael Morse, (33:36)
