Ep. 27 - Don’t Be a Door Lawyer: Do This to Get to the Income + Impact Instead

Many lawyers find it hard to resist taking on every person who wants to work with them.

But being a generalist practitioner – a “door lawyer” – won’t get you to where you want to be. (Unless where you want to be is burnt out.)

In this episode of the NewLaw Podcast for Entrepreneurial Lawyers with Ali Katz, I speak with Chris, a lawyer who faced this same problem in his practice, delaying Chris's success in building his law practice, leading to a significant time debt.

Chris wanted to help his friends and clients, which is all well and good, but this tendency led to him taking on cases that spread his focus too thin, ultimately hindering his development as an expert.

In the episode, I lay out exactly what to do when you think you should take whatever comes in the door.

Listen and hear:

• ??How specialization leads to expertise – attracting your ideal clients while streamlining your marketing efforts.
• ?? The value of clearly established financial metrics and goals in enabling lawyers to create strategic marketing plans and operational procedures that align with their niche, ultimately driving growth and success.
• ???My experience with niching down, illustrating how embracing a specific focus can transform your practice and yield positive results, despite the initial hesitation and fears.

This episode is vital for lawyers and law practice builders looking to redefine their practice, gain clarity, and achieve meaningful success by embracing the power of specialization.
