Hey Powerhouse! This week, we are talking with Anthony Gorospe about what led him to start his own firm [05:26 ]. Anthony transitioned into firm ownership after taking stock of where he was in life. Married with no children is a pretty decent place to be to take a leap of faith [12:45 ]. Believe it or not, your best market research for your own firm is the one you work with now! Anthony shares key lessons for preparing for solo practice [15:52 ]. Then ladies, we get a unique perspective: what challenges are men seeing for women in law? [22:41 ] It gets tricking being a woman firm owner, even in marketing [28:02 ]. So, we have all of this information and motivation. Now do you stay put, go for the partner track, or go out on your own? [34:10 ] Regardless of what you choose, building a community and referral network is the foundation of your launch pad! [36:16 ] Then we wrap up with a Legally Blonde Moment. The prank was so good, we’re still finding Jessica Simpson pictures 10 years later. [44:12 ]
