Profit First for Lawyers

Regaining Time


Listen Later

“We are going to break away from the dictionary’s limited definition of profit and profitable, which only account for financial profits.” – RJon Robins, author of Profit First for Lawyers

For many law firm owners, profitability is measured by one thing: money.

But what if profit gives you something even more valuable?

Time.

In this episode, Michigan estate planning attorney Rose Coonen shares how implementing Profit First accounting principles transformed not only her firm’s finances, but also how she spends her time, serves her clients, and shows up for her family.

Redefining Profit

RJon challenges the traditional definition of profit and introduces a broader perspective: profit can be personal and professional as well as financial. For Rose, that shift in understanding changed everything. Since implementing Profit First three years ago, she has built a strong financial foundation, gained the freedom to stop working with toxic clients, become more present with the families she serves, and grow a law firm that supports the life she wants to live. Today, her law firm is a family affair with her husband and daughter working alongside her as the business continues to grow and serve her community.

What started as a desire for greater financial stability ultimately became a way to regain control of her time.

Key Takeaways
  • Profit is about more than money
  • Financial profit creates personal and professional opportunities
  • Regaining your time starts with building a stronger financial foundation
  • A profitable law firm gives you the choice of working with your ideal clients
  • Growth allows for creative ideas to serve more clients, support more team members, and make a greater impact in your community.
  • Sometimes the most meaningful result isn’t found on a financial statement. It is the ability to spend more time with family, build a business that aligns with your values, and make a greater impact in your community. Because the most valuable form of profit may be time itself
