Michele Lebron | Re-Writing her Money Story to Get Results

Michele Lebron didn’t inherit a pot of gold. What she did inherit from her grandmother, a paralegal of 50 years, was an undeniable work ethic and a love for the law. When Michele was only a child, her grandmother would take her to the law office where she worked and let her “work” with her, which led her to eventually getting a “real job” in that same office, becoming a paralegal herself and then, eventually, fulfilling her life-long dream of becoming an attorney. But that wasn’t enough for Michele. More than anything, she wanted to be her own boss, and to create a prosperous and happy life she knew her grandmother always wanted for her. It took re-writing old money stories in her head, overcoming old fears and stepping out on faith, but she did it and now not only runs a successful law firm, but she’s even invested in her dream home, her first office building, and a boat and resort-style pool so she can fully enjoy the Florida lifestyle.In this episode, Michele shares with us how she accomplished all of this and much more, including...The network she turns to for advice – and two people she says are essential to any startupHow to handle the “business” side of your law practiceThe power of narrowing your niche (and what happens when you don’t)What she does – and doesn’t do – to keep employees “happy” and motivatedWhy facing your fears is so important in your approach to business
