The Seven Figure Practice Roadmap with Kristen David

Resource Links:

Want to grow a million-dollar-plus law practice?

If you’re like most attorneys, your answer is an enthusiastic, “Yes!” Which is typically followed immediately by:

“But I don’t know how...”  

Some firms are able to set a goal and figure out the “how” later. It’s possible some just get lucky. A firm may score that one client that makes all the difference - but these firms are often the exception rather than the rule. 

And if they do get lucky, what are the chances they could recreate their success a second time? 

In this week’s podcast, special guest Kristen David of Upleveling Your Business, shares how she built and sold a 7-figure law firm — not just once, but multiple times. 

In this episode, Kristen talks to how she developed a repeatable process for success. She discusses how she was able to break down one big goal into manageable pieces, and the importance of building the right systems to achieve your goals over and over again. 

We’ll be talking about:
  1. Kristen talks about her living schedule and how she gets things done [01:16]
  2. Law school doesn’t teach you about running a law firm  [03:39]
  3. Kristen’s 4 pillars of building a law firm [06:13]
  4. Finance and marketing, the two key things you need to put in order [08:07]
  5. Setting up for success and doubling down the line [10:36]
  6. Points on hiring the right people [13:40]
  7. Kristen’s journey and the lessons learned [16:54]
  8. Cutting the bait on people that don’t work out [21:20]
  9. Skills transfer process in your firm [24:28]
  10. Drafting your firm's own manuals [27:34]
  11. Kristen on selling her first law firm and building a new one [31:11]
