“The first reason so many small law firms struggle to become or remain profitable is a lack of education about the business of how to manage a successful small law firm.”

– RJon Robins, author Profit First for Lawyers

Working Smarter, Not Harder

Have you been spinning on the hamster wheel working countless hours while profitability eludes you? Nequosha Anderson, founder of Anderson Law Firm, knows that feeling intimately. Despite her data science background, she found herself trapped in the cycle of working harder instead of smarter. Her journey from struggling law firm owner to profitable practice reveals why education about the business side of law is critical, and why redefining “profit” beyond just money changes everything.

RJon In The Studio

Which is why one particular segment from Chapter 4 (page 28-29) of the Profit First for Lawyers book resonated with Nequosha’s experience. RJon’s explanation of how law firm owners lack business education and make problems worse by working harder on the wrong things hit home. She realized her tireless efforts were not actually accomplishing meaningful goals, and that something needed to change.

Key Takeaways:

  • Working harder on the wrong things compounds profitability problems rather than solving them
  • Use profitability as your decision-making filter: If it’s not profitable, don’t do it
  • Service and profit are married concepts, not opposing forces
  • Profit isn’t just about money – it’s about happiness, health, and the ability to help others
  • Stop making excuses and face the truth about what you really want
  • You don’t need to understand every step of Profit First to know it will benefit your firm

Nequosha’s transformation demonstrates that once you face the reality of where you spend your time and energy, you can build a practice that serves you and your clients. Her message is clear: examine your definition of profit, figure out what you really want, and start taking the steps to build that life. You are cordially invited to live a profitable life. Will you accept the invitation?
