Reality, Ego, and Your Finances

This is an eye-opening episode on a critical yet often uncomfortable topic: the role of ego in law firm management. Featuring exclusive content from RJon Robins’ audiobook recording sessions, this episode serves as a stark reminder of the importance of facing financial facts head-on. With an emphasis on the need to confront realities, no matter how unpleasant they may seem. By sharing anonymous real-world examples and offering practical advice, RJon provides a wake-up call for law firm owners to make decisions based on data rather than ego.

“Truth is reality. Reality is truth. Truth does not depend on us to approve of it…Truth doesn’t depend on us to like it. Truth doesn’t depend on us to agree with it. Truth is what truth is. It is just reality.” – RJon Robins
