In this episode, Alay and Janelle discuss: 
  • How Janelle started her law firm during a pandemic. 
  • Why Janelle left another law firm to start her own practice. 
  • The flexibility of owning your own firm. 
  • Organizing your time when running a solo practice. 

    •  

    Key Takeaways: 
    • Sometimes being in a law firm is not the right fit for you. Stepping away while the relationship is still good may be the best thing to do. 
    • Be willing to talk about what you do. You never know when your direct or loose circles will need your services. 
    • The type of firm you start will be a big factor in the degree of complexity of owning your own firm.
    • When you’re growing your firm, start with the 20-10-5 Rule and adjust as needed while keeping all three areas in focus.
