Speed Learning and its Significance
It’s vital to learn new ideas that help you run your law practice better, more efficiently, and more profitably. And many books can help you do this, but reading them takes time. Unless you learn how to employ an 80/20 leverage tactic that I call “speed learning.”
The Ease of Speed Learning
It’s very easy to do, and it will enable you to extract valuable information from books that you can easily act on to improve your business and your life in general.
