Listen Later

Today we're celebrating the 4th Birthday of the Law School Toolbox!!! What started as a chance meeting on Twitter has matured into what we like to call a "real business." What have we learned along the way? Tune in to find out!

In this episode we discuss:

  • Why Alison and Lee prefer entrepreneurship to a law setting
  • What was the biggest surprise about starting our own business?
  • How Alison and Lee met and how the Law School Toolbox came about
  • How to connect with others and build a community when starting a business
  • How to keep your investment to a minimum
  • How Alison slicing her finger open was (ultimately) good for the business!
  • Finding tasks to delegate
  • What you should and shouldn't outsource
  • Benefits and challenges of being a woman-owned business
  • Lessons learned over the last 4 years

    • Resources:

    • Influence by Robert Cialdini (http://www.amazon.com/Influence-Psychology-Persuasion-Revised-Edition/dp/006124189X)

      • We'd love a nice review and/or rating on iTunes. And feel free to reach out to us directly. You can always reach us via the contact form on the Law School Toolbox website (http://lawschooltoolbox.com/contact). 

      Thanks for listening! And for four great years!
