Profit with Law: Profitable Law Firm Growth
Moshe Amsel
Small Law Firms often start from the practice of law and not as a business venture. This ends up causing the growth of the firm to be much longer and more painful than it needs to be. If you started a Law Firm with the intention of increasing your impact, freeing up your time and having all the money you will ever need then the strategies we discuss will be priceless for you. Profit with Law is a show focused on the business of running a law firm as a profitable venture. Packaging and pricing your services, getting clients consistently, growing your staff in a way that feels good to you and implementing systems and technology to set yourself up for success are all discussions you will find here on the show. Moshe Amsel the host of the Profit with Law podcast is not an attorney. He has spent 20 years as an executive in the IT industry before becoming an accountant and business advisor for small businesses. As the owner of a successful accounting firm DreamBuilder Financial and Law Firm Growth coaching organization Profit with Law, Moshe has proven that there are better and different ways for a law firm to do business and be successful. Our mission is to empower all people with wealth creation so that this and future generations can lead a better life. We’d love nothing more than to do this by helping law firm owners on their journey. A law firm is not for practice it’s for profit!

Living Your Legacy Today Instead of Someday - 197
Send us a textShownotes can be found at https://www.profitwithlaw.com/197. A little over 2 weeks ago, we were dispatched to what turned out to be the worst fire I have ever seen. It was an adult living facility with capacity for close to 200 residents and it was an old structure built in the early 1900s completely out of wood. Within minutes the fire had spread and the facility was overcome with flames and smoke. One of the firefighters got caught in a flashover and called out a Mayday over the radio. The minutes that followed were awful as we were left to wonder what the fate would be for our fellow first responder. Ultimately, we learned that Firefighter Jared Lloyd had given his life saving dozens of lives. He had gone back into the building several times, each time emerging with more residents that he saved. At 35, he left behind 2 beautiful young children. However, he died performing his mission and he left behind the legacy he intended for his children. Every day, especially the last year, we are reminded over and over again how short life is and how precious our moments are. In this episode, Moshe reflects on life’s purpose, identifying your legacy and living it every day.
