Red Pill or Blue Pill? The Decision That Changes Everything for Law Firm Owners.
John McCarthy
Supporting Law Firms Owners to Increase Profits by £50,000 in 6 Months, Transform their Firms into Highly Profitable & Valuable Businesses, & Prepare for Succession/ Exit using the P.R.O.F.I.T System.
This week we’re looking at why making decisions is the key to growing and preparing your law firm for exit.
Will you take the red pill or the blue pill?
"In The Matrix, Neo had a choice: the blue pill to stay in his current reality or the red pill to discover a new world of possibilities."
Law firm owners are constantly faced with decisions, just like Neo. These choices determine not only how your firms operate but whether or not they’ll grow, scale, and ultimately be ready to exit when you want.
The real question is:
Are you making the right decisions?
Or are you avoiding them, taking the blue pill, and staying in your comfort zone?
Indecision will keep your law firm stuck in the past.
Choosing not to make decisions is still a decision—it’s choosing to stay in your current reality.
Law firm owners who avoid making key decisions often find their firms stagnating, with no clear plan for growth or exit. If you want to retire or sell in the future, indecision will make your firm less valuable and harder to sell.
When you don’t treat your law firm like a business and fail to make strategic decisions, you risk building a firm that is entirely dependent on you.
And when the time comes to step back or sell, buyers may not see the value. What happens then? You’re left stuck in a business that is difficult to exit.
Take the red pill: Make decisions that future-proof your firm.
Making decisions now—treating your law firm like a scalable business—opens doors.
It means putting systems in place, growing profits, and building a firm that can operate without you.
The result? More freedom, more growth, and more options when you’re ready to retire or sell. The red pill is about action. Take it and watch how your business transforms.
The truth is, law firms that are run like businesses are the ones that thrive. These firms attract top talent, create more value, and ultimately sell for higher prices.
You don’t have to choose between growth and freedom—you can have both. But first, you need to decide to act.
Are you ready to make the decision that changes everything?

Recently we took the red pill.
We have a lovely apartment overlooking the coast and for the last 3 years we’ve been renting it out as a holiday apartment with the bonus that we can use it several times a year.
As a surfer, it’s amazing to walk out of our own apartment for a dawn surf. As parents, it’s a lovely feeling walking our two young boys down to the beach to play.
But because there was so little business during the winter, we were not making any money. So, it has to go.
Emotionally it’s painful, we love the apartment. But it was bought as an investment and our hard-earned cash could be put to better use.
We had to make a tough call.
We had to step away from a nice, cosy situation - indecision - and make a tough choice. A choice we could only make because we’re using financial data, not emotion, to make the decision.
