In this episode, Greg McCollum discusses a widely felt struggle for ambitious criminal defense lawyers: the trap of constant worry and hurried work. Drawing on years of growing a seven-figure criminal defense practice, Greg shares why frantically responding to every task isn't the path to true growth or satisfaction. He shares actionable strategies criminal defense lawyers can use instead to step out of the daily whirlwind, carve out "white space" to gain clarity, make better decisions, and create real momentum, and shift from doing legal work to building a thriving business. If you're ready to step beyond daily casework and start building the criminal defense law business you've always envisioned, this episode is for you. Join Greg to set the stage for your first steps toward a more prosperous and peaceful criminal defense practice. Show Highlights: The hurry/worry cycle and frustration with plans that take time.
