Do What You Do With Less Overhead w/ Curtis Kleem

This week on the podcast Jim and Tyson chat with Curtis Kleem. After 17 years (13 years as a partner) at a respected small town firm, Curtis went out on his own in June, 2018. He continues to work in the same town, doing similar work (Adoptions, Family Law, and Personal Injury). He has built a busy solo practice which uses technology to assist with keeping all the plates spinning at once. He is married and has two adult daughters, two (almost adult) sons and the best looking grandson a man could hope for. 2:00 the longer you work for someone else the harder to leave2:46 doing what you do with less overhead7:47 capturing more of the market8:18 new firm owner feelings9:45 using technology to stand out 13:19 too busy to build out 16:15 envision growth in a smaller community 17:23 juggling working in and on the business18:10 semi-retirement 19:40 stay where you are or go out on your own  Jim’s Hack:  Recommends the book “How to Be a Great Boss” by Gino Wickman and Rene BoerCurtis’s Tip: Office 365 has a free alternative to Loom for 15 minutes videos or less.
