What's Your Biggest Challenge?

Hello!  I'm Matt Homann, the facilitator of this year's conference.  I'll be posting lots of information, ideas and suggestions here for the conference over the next few weeks.

Because we'll be focusing on the challenges of rural practice at our event, can you share with me the biggest ones your facing?
What challenge, if you could solve, would have the greatest positive impact on your practice?
Leave your challenges in the comments, or email them to me directly at Matt (at) LexThink (dot) com.

In the meantime, check out my blog: the [non]billable hour.  It has hundreds of posts about innovation, creativity, client service and the economics of law practice.

I look forward to meeting all of you!

    I have two:

    Firstly, developing and outlining timelines and scheduling for clients and adhering to it.

    Secondly, developing more efficient billing models away from hourly rates.
