You can do anything. But you can't do everything all at the same time. So why do so many firm owners keep trying? In this AMMA episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Michael and Jessica Mogill tackle questions that all circle the same problem: spreading yourself too thin and expecting elite results. From personal brand building that never seems to pay off, to years that vanish on autopilot, to firm initiatives that stall because no one can focus long enough to finish them. The through line is clear: the fastest path to growth is doing fewer things with far greater intensity. Here's what you'll learn: • Why building a personal brand with the intent to monetize it immediately almost always backfires (and what to do instead) • How to break out of "NPC autopilot mode" using weekly reflection prompts that force honest self-assessment • Why the best results in business come from serious, singular commitments rather than surface-level effort across five priorities If you want to see results faster, stop adding and start subtracting.
