Josh speaks to the benefits of working alongside a mentor to help navigate the journey of firm ownership. Law school will not teach you the business side of things, which is what Josh learned from his mentor. Whether it be learning how to work with a client, going through audits or mastering the art of tax season, a mentor is crucial to learning the ropes and running a successful law firm.Authenticity is an important trait to have as an attorney. Being true to yourself as a person will translate in how you work with clients. When informing clients about their cases, especially if they are calling to inquire about their situation, be upfront and honest about how you can help (if you can help at all) and let them know how things will play out. This will help the client in the long run and save both of you a lot of time.Listen in to learn more!Tune in to today's episode and checkout the full show notes here.03:36 Timing of Starting a Firm 10:09 Building a Professional Network 13:07 Competition in Personal Injury Law 28:10 Social Media Strategies36:39 Happiness in Practice 50:00 Case Management Systems Connect with Josh:Website InstagramLinkedin
