In this week’s episode, I delve into what is perhaps the number one challenge law firm owners face when they are attempting to transition from solo attorney to CEO of a law firm business, and that is cultivating a high-performing legal team.Once we overcome the fear of hiring that first associate attorney—which is a huge obstacle in and of itself for most solos—we often are then faced with what it REALLY means to cultivate, train, and manage a multi-person legal team including attorneys, paralegals, and legal administrators.The transition from a solo lawyer or boss of one or two staffers is drastically different from leading a legal team. And most law firm owners are not only NOT prepared for the transition, but also have no idea what’s coming.Listen in as I share:15 challenges law firm owners face when attempting to hire, train, retain and grow a high-performing team (or any team).Why I think it’s important you begin thinking about these challenges before you even have a big team.5 “mindset shortcuts” I use and teach my clients that help to overcome overwhelm and fear around cultivating a right-fit team.One way you can get help to grow your right-fit team faster.And much more!Links to Love:Book a Practice Growth Assessment call with me.Head over to our website and add yourself to our email list by grabbing a copy of our popular guide: What Wealthy Woman Law Firm Owners Know That You Don’t. www.wealthywomanlawyer.comPlease Leave a Review and Share!If you love the Wealthy Woman Lawyer® Podcast we’d be ever so grateful if you’d: 1) Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts, and 2) Share your favorite episode with another woman law firm owner you know will benefit from it!Want to Scale Your Law Firm to 1MM or More?The Wealthy Woman Lawyer® Podcast is sponsored by Wealthy Woman Lawyer, LLC.

In today’s episode of the Wealthy Woman Lawyer® podcast, I cover a phenomenon I’ve discovered over the years as I’ve coached hundreds of lawyers in scaling their law firm businesses. I call it “January Panic.” It’s that feeling some people get in January—kind of like a holiday hangover—where they worry about cash flow, feel like money is tight, and start trying to “fix” financial problems without clearly thinking through the source of them first.Often, it can result in taking actions like buying software you don’t need, buying a course to learn a new practice area in the hopes of making more money, or drastically pulling back on marketing initiatives (or implementing the wrong ones) out of fear.Listen in to this episode as I share with you:A short quiz that will help you identify if you have “January Panic.”5 real reasons you may feel pinched in January.3 ways to avoid a cash flow crunch in January 20253 steps you can take NOW to improve the rest of your January and set yourself up for an excellent first quarter of 2024.And much more!Links to Love:Book a Practice Growth Assessment call with me.Head over to our website and add yourself to our email list by grabbing a copy of our popular guide: What Wealthy Woman Law Firm Owners Know That You Don’t. www.wealthywomanlawyer.comPlease Leave a Review and Share!If you love the Wealthy Woman Lawyer® Podcast we’d be ever so grateful if you’d: 1) Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts, and 2) Share your favorite episode with another woman law firm owner you know will benefit from it!Want to Scale Your Law Firm to 1MM or More?The Wealthy Woman Lawyer® Podcast is sponsored by Wealthy Woman Lawyer, LLC.

Happy Q1 2024! In this week’s episode of the Wealthy Woman Lawyer® Podcast, I’m sharing with you the ONE THING keeping most law firm owners stuck at 6-figures (or less) in gross annual revenue, (and here’s a hint: it’s not a lack of strategy).It’s not uncommon for women law firm owners to find me AFTER they’ve worked with other lawyer coaches and share stories of their disappointment in their lack of results, oftentimes after investing thousands in coaching. Although they sometimes struggle to pinpoint the issue, it soon becomes clear that it is NOT a lack of strategy.Every law firm and lawyer coaching program has signature strategies that most likely work for the vast majority of their clients. Still, a few feel like the strategy did not, and will not, work for them.If that’s you, then listen up because I’m going to let you in on a little secret that will change everything. After listening to this short podcast episode, you’ll know exactly what you need to do next to get the results you see others achieve—the ones you desire for yourself.Links to Love:Book a Practice Growth Assessment call with me.Head over to our website and add yourself to our email list by grabbing a copy of our popular guide: What Wealthy Woman Law Firm Owners Know That You Don’t. www.wealthywomanlawyer.comPlease Leave a Review and Share!If you love the Wealthy Woman Lawyer® Podcast we’d be ever so grateful if you’d: 1) Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts, and 2) Share your favorite episode with another woman law firm owner you know will benefit from it!Want to Scale Your Law Firm to 1MM or More?The Wealthy Woman Lawyer® Podcast is sponsored by Wealthy Woman Lawyer, LLC.

Happy New Year! In this week’s episode of the Wealthy Woman Lawyer® Podcast, I thought I depart a little from the typical “New Year, New You” theme and, instead, discuss what I’m looking forward to in 2024 and what I’m leaving behind in 2023.Listen in as I discuss:What we at Wealthy Woman Lawyer® are celebrating this year.Aspects of 2024 I’m most excited about.The #1 2023-Leave-Behind on my list that you might not expect.The one thing I think most of us don’t cop to which is also the one thing most of us should leave behind if we want to be happier in 2024.My biggest “leave-behind” challenge, one that stems from childhood trauma and I’ve worked on for years to release.Links to Love:Email me your “Leave Behind in 2023” list to davina@wealthywomanlawyer.com.

Happy Holidays. We hope you have scheduled some time this month with your family and friends to rest, relax and be together. Davina is taking a brief hiatus from recording new episodes of the Wealthy Woman Lawyer podcast. We hope you enjoy our "Best of 2023" line-up of the most popular episodes of 2023, and we'll be back in January with more episodes of the number-one podcast for Women in Law in the U.S.Nikki Rausch, CEO of Sales Maven, teaches professional women to have better and more effective sales conversations in a way that feels good to them. Nikki has more than 25 years of sales experience, including to organizations such as The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Hewlett-Packard, and NASA. Over time, she also developed an extensive background in Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) which helped her shatter sales records across a variety of industries. Working as a sales rep in a male-dominated industry, Nikki was never comfortable with traditional sales training. This led her to explore how to have more influential conversations with potential clients in a way that better suited her personality and style. Now, she helps others do the same through her coaching services and presentations. She also has written three books and is the host of the podcast Sales Maven.If you struggle to conduct effective sales conversations or just feel “icky” about the thought of selling your services, this episode is for you.
