Are you looking to take the leap in starting a new business venture? In this episode of the Maximum Lawyer Podcast, co-host Tyson chats with Chelsie Lamie, an experienced attorney with over 15 years in plaintiff personal injury law. Chelsie discusses her transition from insurance defense to creating a comprehensive training program for paralegals, ‘Law School for Paralegals’.
In her training, Chelsie dives into the common issues owners face when it comes to training staff. Most firm owners do not have the time to train paralegals, especially if paralegals don't know their specialities. It is easier for most to hire experts, like Chelsie to come in and take charge of the ‘training’ reins. What makes Chelsie’s program so great is that training can be state specific. This allows for the training of many different paralegals across the country.
Running a side business can be a difficult task, especially if you have a busy life. Chelsie provides some tips for those who are thinking about running a side business. Being passionate about your business is so important and you need to be all in to make it work for you. It is important to just get started and get things down on paper so you are always moving towards that ultimate goal.
