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.

Professional opportunities abound for women lawyers, yet many women hesitate to pursue their dream of starting and owning a law practice. Many of those who do take the leap still struggle with building their business into a saleable asset that supports their lifestyle (both now and in retirement). Before my guest, Davina Frederick, started her law firm in 2007, she worked in professional services marketing. Thanks to her familiarity with marketing and litigation and the struggle she saw other women law firm owners have with building sustainable practices, she rebranded in 2020 to serve them as a law firm growth strategist and business coach. Now, she helps women lawyers achieve their goals and overcome challenges in their professional and personal lives. In this episode of The Lawyer's Edge podcast, you'll learn about the importance of starting and scaling your practice, the consequences of not building your business into an asset, and why women lawyers too often shy away from going into business for themselves. Davina will also give you an outline of her framework for scaling your law firm business to $1,000,000 or more. WHAT'S COVERED IN THIS EPISODE ABOUT SCALING YOUR LAW FIRM 2:31 - Why it's so important for women to scale their law firms instead of staying solo 5:54 - Advantages for women lawyers who start and scale their own practice instead of working in others 10:40 - Why many women lawyers think smaller than they should about what's possible for them 13:57 - How your upbringing and early career can have an impact on what you decide to do for yourself 18:29 - How your money story can be a big obstacle to growing wealth through scaling your practice 22:26 - The internal aspect you can always change that drives what you choose to focus on (even if you have external obstacles in your way) 28:56 - Why there are more opportunities than ever to get support, make connections, and achieve success 30:56 - Davina's framework for scaling your law firm to seven figures or more and the journey that led to its creation 40:50 - The only thing that matters when it comes to owning and scaling your business and what gets you to the next level Connect with Davina Frederick Davina Frederick is a Florida-licensed attorney, law firm growth strategist, and business coach for women law firm owners. She graduated from the University of Central Florida in Orlando, FL, with a B.A. in journalism, and she received her J.D. from Barry University Dwayne O. Andreas School of Law in 2007. Prior to starting her own law firm in 2007 and growing it successfully during the 2008 recession and its aftermath, she enjoyed a career as a professional services marketer. In 2013, she founded D. Frederick Media and Marketing, LLC, with the goal of helping professional service business owners implement their marketing strategies. However, she quickly discovered that most did not even have a strategy! She then began to work with her clients to develop strategic growth plans for their businesses and to coach them through implementing these plans, including how to market and sell, cultivate A+ teams, and set up systems-based businesses. Since most of Davina's clients were women law firm owners who wanted the inside scoop on how Davina had successfully created and scaled her own law firm, she began to focus on serving just women law firm owner clients. In 2020, Davina rebranded her company to reflect this shift, creating Wealthy Woman Lawyer®. Wealthy Woman Lawyer® assists women law firm owners scale their law firms into $1M+ wealth-generating businesses without overwork or overwhelm. Davina is the author of two books: The Wealthy Woman Lawyer's Guide to Law Firm Marketing in the Virtual Age: 10 Bold Actions to Take Now to Attract Your Ideal Clients with Total Ease and The Wealthy Woman Lawyer's Guide to a Systems-Driven Law Firm Business: 7 Essential Systems You Need to Take Back Your Time, Avoid Burnout, and Create Lasting Wealth. She's also the founder and host of the Wealthy Woman Lawyer podcast—the #1 podcast for Women in Law in the U.S. Davina believes all women lawyers deserve to be wealthy women lawyers if that is their desire. Women lawyers, particularly women law firm owners, work too hard to serve others, not to live fulfilled, prosperous, and enriched lives.
