Wealthy Woman Lawyer Podcast, Helping you create a profitable, sustainable law firm you love Davina Frederick

Welcome to today's episode of the Wealthy Woman Lawyer® Podcast! Today, I’m sharing the top three mistakes I made when scaling my first law firm business so you don’t have to learn the hard way like I did.
I made many, many mistakes in growing that law firm business—as one does when they are trying to figure things out on their own, but I thought I’d share these three particular mistakes with you because I’ve had so many conversations with other women law firm owners who have made similar mistakes, too.
Maybe by hearing my story, you’ll do things differently and skip the struggle.
Enjoy!
