Recently, I was having a conversation with another woman lawyer about marketing options for small law firms, and she shared with me that she did not like seeing herself on video, so it was hard to imagine she would create reels on Instagram or videos for TikTok.I totally understood! I do not love either seeing myself on video or hearing my recorded voice. And I know we are not alone. It comes up frequently in conversations with other women law firm owners of a certain age!In this culture where women appear to be valued for youth and beauty, it takes confidence and strong self-esteem to put yourself out there if you think you have passed some kind of imaginary expiration date.Comparison-it is on social media is not reserved just for people in their teens and 20s. Even those of us with lots of emotional management tools in our toolboxes can get caught up in comparing ourselves and our lives with what we see in our social feeds.I can tell you all day, every day, that other people are not judging you nearly as hard as you judge yourself, but if you hate being on video, you likely will not really care.So, I wanted to reassure you that there are other options for marketing your law firm besides becoming an Instagram or TikTok influencer. You don't have to dance for your supper if the mere thought makes you feel a little sick.Listen in to hear about five marketing tactics you can start using today to grow your law firm business.LINKS TO LOVE:Book a call with my team to discuss how we can help you with Google Ad campaigns.Grab a free copy of one my marketing book here (you pay shipping and handling and I'll handle the rest).If you are enjoying the Wealthy Woman Lawyer® podcast, please leave us a review on Apple.

You'd think by now after being an attorney and business owner for almost two decades, I would know what I'm about to share with you today.

Understanding the 'why' behind business practices empowers you to make informed decisions and take control of your business.Listen in as I share…Why it's important to understand why someone does what they do (what they get out of it).Why I see opportunities all around me every day (yes, even in my inbox) and how that serves meWhy I'm grateful I went to law school and became an attorney and how it serves me as a business owner (but also, the downside)The one skill that is required to make anything happen and the advantage people who possess it have over those who do not.The skill that helps me to minimize fear and anxiety when things do not go the way I envision they will (this one has helped me to survive the inevitable ups and downs in my business)The most important skill to have if you want to make a career as an entrepreneur and business owner (and it's also been the hardest one for me to master)How to get started if you want to hone your leadership skills and be a better law firm ownerAnd much more!Links to Love:Join me in my upcoming training—it's my most popular one yet.
