Episode Description

In this episode, Alay and James discuss:

Lessons learned while growing your firm.
Growing into your entrepreneurial mindset.
Changing your mindset from lawyer to business owner.
How business coaching can help change the mindset and grow the firm.

Key Takeaways:

Working excessive hours is worn as a badge of honor for many in the legal profession. You should not be doing that – don’t start a business to become a slave the business.
Law school teaches you how to think like a lawyer, but that doesn’t translate to running a business.
In order to scale and grow you must learn to delegate. You do not need to be the best in every aspect of your firm.
As a law firm, most things can be fixed (except missing the statute of limitations).

About James Grant:

“Attorney James Grant is a premier personal injury lawyer representing injured victims throughout the southeast, predominantly Georgia. He and his law firm, Georgia Trial Attorneys, are well-respected by their clients and peers, yet feared by the greedy insurance companies.

other law firm owners across the county to build better businesses, all while holding the

insurance companies accountable.”
