In today’s episode of the Wealthy Woman Lawyer® podcast, I chat with Rho Thomas, an attorney and financial coach who helps lawyers gain control over their finances to build a life of freedom and choice.Rho, who began her journey as a trademark attorney, shifted to financial coaching once she learned how to pay down her own $678K in debt, primarily from law school and her husband’s medical school loans. She believes that true wealth is having control of your time, which led her and her husband to the goal of paying off debt before starting their family so they would have ample time to spend with their children when the time came.For the last four-plus years, Rho has helped other lawyers get out of debt and manage their money better to create freedom and choice in their own lives.

Recently, I was having a conversation with another woman lawyer about marketing options for small law firms, and she shared with me that she did not like seeing herself on video, so it was hard to imagine she would create reels on Instagram or videos for TikTok.I totally understood! I do not love either seeing myself on video or hearing my recorded voice. And I know we are not alone. It comes up frequently in conversations with other women law firm owners of a certain age!In this culture where women appear to be valued for youth and beauty, it takes confidence and strong self-esteem to put yourself out there if you think you have passed some kind of imaginary expiration date.Comparison-it is on social media is not reserved just for people in their teens and 20s. Even those of us with lots of emotional management tools in our toolboxes can get caught up in comparing ourselves and our lives with what we see in our social feeds.I can tell you all day, every day, that other people are not judging you nearly as hard as you judge yourself, but if you hate being on video, you likely will not really care.So, I wanted to reassure you that there are other options for marketing your law firm besides becoming an Instagram or TikTok influencer. You don’t have to dance for your supper if the mere thought makes you feel a little sick.Listen in to hear about five marketing tactics you can start using today to grow your law firm business.LINKS TO LOVE:Book a call with my team to discuss how we can help you with Google Ad campaigns.Grab a free copy of one my marketing book here (you pay shipping and handling and I’ll handle the rest).If you are enjoying the Wealthy Woman Lawyer® podcast, please leave us a review on Apple.

You’d think by now after being an attorney and business owner for almost two decades, I would know what I’m about to share with you today.

In this week’s episode, I delve into what is perhaps the number one challenge law firm owners face when they are attempting to transition from solo attorney to CEO of a law firm business, and that is cultivating a high-performing legal team.Once we overcome the fear of hiring that first associate attorney—which is a huge obstacle in and of itself for most solos—we often are then faced with what it REALLY means to cultivate, train, and manage a multi-person legal team including attorneys, paralegals, and legal administrators.The transition from a solo lawyer or boss of one or two staffers is drastically different from leading a legal team. And most law firm owners are not only NOT prepared for the transition, but also have no idea what’s coming.Listen in as I share:15 challenges law firm owners face when attempting to hire, train, retain and grow a high-performing team (or any team).Why I think it’s important you begin thinking about these challenges before you even have a big team.5 “mindset shortcuts” I use and teach my clients that help to overcome overwhelm and fear around cultivating a right-fit team.One way you can get help to grow your right-fit team faster.And much more!Links to Love:Book a Practice Growth Assessment call with me.Head over to our website and add yourself to our email list by grabbing a copy of our popular guide: What Wealthy Woman Law Firm Owners Know That You Don’t. www.wealthywomanlawyer.comPlease Leave a Review and Share!If you love the Wealthy Woman Lawyer® Podcast we’d be ever so grateful if you’d: 1) Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts, and 2) Share your favorite episode with another woman law firm owner you know will benefit from it!Want to Scale Your Law Firm to 1MM or More?The Wealthy Woman Lawyer® Podcast is sponsored by Wealthy Woman Lawyer, LLC.

In this week’s episode, I delve into what to do if you absolutely despise your practice area and it’s causing you to fantasize about walking out the door, moving to another state, and opening up an alpaca farm (or something like that) BUT you are worried if you dared to dream you will die broke and alone.I get it. You’ve probably already built a lucrative practice, but is it really worth it if you dread getting out of bed and going to work every day? How much of your life are you willing to trade doing something you hate just for the money?Listen in as I discuss leaving a practice area you hate and shifting to a new practice area, plus…Arguments you may be having in your head that keep you stuck (and how to overcome them)3 proven options to help you transition from one practice area to another (Plus two bonus options)3 “Pro” tips to deploy when naysayers get in your ear (or your head) and debate you on the wisdom of changing practice areasHow you can get support if you are working in a practice area you hate and want to transition to a new one.And much more!Links to Love:Book a Practice Growth Assessment call with me.Head over to our website and add yourself to our email list by grabbing a copy of our popular guide: What Wealthy Woman Law Firm Owners Know That You Don’t. www.wealthywomanlawyer.comPlease Leave a Review and Share!If you love the Wealthy Woman Lawyer® Podcast we’d be ever so grateful if you’d: 1) Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts, and 2) Share your favorite episode with another woman law firm owner you know will benefit from it!Want to Scale Your Law Firm to 1MM or More?The Wealthy Woman Lawyer® Podcast is sponsored by Wealthy Woman Lawyer, LLC.

In today’s episode of the Wealthy Woman Lawyer® podcast, I cover a phenomenon I’ve discovered over the years as I’ve coached hundreds of lawyers in scaling their law firm businesses. I call it “January Panic.” It’s that feeling some people get in January—kind of like a holiday hangover—where they worry about cash flow, feel like money is tight, and start trying to “fix” financial problems without clearly thinking through the source of them first.Often, it can result in taking actions like buying software you don’t need, buying a course to learn a new practice area in the hopes of making more money, or drastically pulling back on marketing initiatives (or implementing the wrong ones) out of fear.Listen in to this episode as I share with you:A short quiz that will help you identify if you have “January Panic.”5 real reasons you may feel pinched in January.3 ways to avoid a cash flow crunch in January 20253 steps you can take NOW to improve the rest of your January and set yourself up for an excellent first quarter of 2024.And much more!Links to Love:Book a Practice Growth Assessment call with me.Head over to our website and add yourself to our email list by grabbing a copy of our popular guide: What Wealthy Woman Law Firm Owners Know That You Don’t. www.wealthywomanlawyer.comPlease Leave a Review and Share!If you love the Wealthy Woman Lawyer® Podcast we’d be ever so grateful if you’d: 1) Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts, and 2) Share your favorite episode with another woman law firm owner you know will benefit from it!Want to Scale Your Law Firm to 1MM or More?The Wealthy Woman Lawyer® Podcast is sponsored by Wealthy Woman Lawyer, LLC.

Happy Q1 2024! In this week’s episode of the Wealthy Woman Lawyer® Podcast, I’m sharing with you the ONE THING keeping most law firm owners stuck at 6-figures (or less) in gross annual revenue, (and here’s a hint: it’s not a lack of strategy).It’s not uncommon for women law firm owners to find me AFTER they’ve worked with other lawyer coaches and share stories of their disappointment in their lack of results, oftentimes after investing thousands in coaching. Although they sometimes struggle to pinpoint the issue, it soon becomes clear that it is NOT a lack of strategy.Every law firm and lawyer coaching program has signature strategies that most likely work for the vast majority of their clients. Still, a few feel like the strategy did not, and will not, work for them.If that’s you, then listen up because I’m going to let you in on a little secret that will change everything. After listening to this short podcast episode, you’ll know exactly what you need to do next to get the results you see others achieve—the ones you desire for yourself.Links to Love:Book a Practice Growth Assessment call with me.Head over to our website and add yourself to our email list by grabbing a copy of our popular guide: What Wealthy Woman Law Firm Owners Know That You Don’t. www.wealthywomanlawyer.comPlease Leave a Review and Share!If you love the Wealthy Woman Lawyer® Podcast we’d be ever so grateful if you’d: 1) Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts, and 2) Share your favorite episode with another woman law firm owner you know will benefit from it!Want to Scale Your Law Firm to 1MM or More?The Wealthy Woman Lawyer® Podcast is sponsored by Wealthy Woman Lawyer, LLC.

Happy New Year! In this week’s episode of the Wealthy Woman Lawyer® Podcast, I thought I depart a little from the typical “New Year, New You” theme and, instead, discuss what I’m looking forward to in 2024 and what I’m leaving behind in 2023.Listen in as I discuss:What we at Wealthy Woman Lawyer® are celebrating this year.Aspects of 2024 I’m most excited about.The #1 2023-Leave-Behind on my list that you might not expect.The one thing I think most of us don’t cop to which is also the one thing most of us should leave behind if we want to be happier in 2024.My biggest “leave-behind” challenge, one that stems from childhood trauma and I’ve worked on for years to release.Links to Love:Email me your “Leave Behind in 2023” list to [email protected].

Nikki has more than 25 years of sales experience, including to organizations such as The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Hewlett-Packard, and NASA. Over time, she also developed an extensive background in Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) which helped her shatter sales records across a variety of industries. Working as a sales rep in a male-dominated industry, Nikki was never comfortable with traditional sales training. This led her to explore how to have more influential conversations with potential clients in a way that better suited her personality and style. Now, she helps others do the same through her coaching services and presentations. She also has written three books and is the host of the podcast Sales Maven.If you struggle to conduct effective sales conversations or just feel “icky” about the thought of selling your services, this episode is for you. During our conversation, Nikki shares impactful tools to help women lawyers conduct better sales conversations–ones that effectively onboard clients and leave everyone feeling good.Listen in to learn more including:Nikki’s journey from being an average salesperson to a top-producing salesperson who now teaches people to do the same.How combining Neuro Linguistic Programming with sales helped Nikki become an award-winning, top-producing salesperson.Questions to ask during your consultation that will lead a client to self-identify so you can easily determine if you are the right fit for their situation.When it’s time to “bless and release” rather than ask for the sale – because not everyone is your ideal client.What to do and say to exude confidence before every important meeting. Why it’s important to proactively manage your mindset and set boundaries.The “selective amnesia” technique to help you manage outcomes after highly charged, boundary-drawing conversations.Subscribe and ReviewWe’d appreciate you subscribing to this podcast and leaving an Apple Podcasts review.
