Episode notes

Today, my guest is Wendy Witt. Wendy is an attorney, starting another new law firm in the estate planning area, but she's also well known as a law business practice development coach. There are a couple of amazing things that Wendy does in terms of the branding of her coaching practice, and the leveling of services that she offers. I think it's really interesting and is not, frankly, done by a lot of coaches. This makes her unique and really accessible to solo and small firm practitioners, particularly those that don't have a big budget to hire a coach. Listen in for some great takeaways!

In this episode, Neil and Wendy discuss:

Adapting and changing within the practice of law.
Transitioning from big law to a solo practice.
Building a business that supports the life you dream of.
Understanding your driving forces.

Key Takeaways:

Everything is a business, even helping people and practicing law.
Business is a skill set that can be learned, and should be learned, by solo and small firm owners.
There are so many resources, for free, out there for solo and small firm attorneys. You need to be willing to take the advice and change the sails to create the life that you want.
How you get to your goal may not look like how someone else is getting to their goal. Everyone is different in their wants, strengths, and choices.

"Not only is the business strategy essential, but the mindset is also essential. It affects absolutely everything you do, the choices you make, the way you look at the world, how you interact with clients and your team, and so forth." — Wendy Witt
