Scaling Up with James Grant Lawyer Business Advantage
-
- Management
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).
Tweetable Moments:
* “The job of the entrepreneur is to be a visionary.” — James Grant
* “There are different challenges with each stage and, as the owner, you almost feel like you’re reinventing yourself as you go through these different stages.” — Alay Yajnik
* “The way that you run a $250,000 a year business is not the way you run a $3 million business” — James Grant
* “If you want to grow your firm to any kind of significant size, you’re going to have to learn to delegate. No one can be good at everything, and no one has the time to be good at everything.” — Alay Yajnik
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.
As the co-founding partner of the firm, Mr. Grant and his team have helped thousands of
families across the southeast recover physically and financially – to the tune of millions upon millions of dollars each year.
Mr. Grant also works with other law firms to handle injury cases that need litigation when the insurance company refuses to offer a fair settlement. As an attorneys’ attorney, he and his team are called upon as leaders in the personal injury field.
In addition to helping his clients get back on their feet to a healthy life, James also counsels
other law firm owners across the county to build better businesses, all while holding the
insurance companies accountable.”
