“I want to expose you to a really cool world of financial literacy to empower you to be better, more confident business owners.” – RJon Robins, author of Profit First for Lawyers
If financial reports, spreadsheets, or business metrics have ever made you want to tune out, this episode is for you. In part one of a seven-part series on financial controls, RJon explains why financial literacy is not about becoming an accountant or learning advanced math. It’s about learning to recognize the story your numbers are already telling you about your business.
Featuring clips of RJon from a 2019 financial literacy workshop, this episode introduces foundational concepts that would later appear in Profit First for Lawyers. As the first installment in a seven-part series, it explores how learning the language of business and finance can change the way law firm owners see and understand their firms. With greater financial literacy comes the ability to recognize patterns, opportunities, and warning signs that may have previously gone unnoticed.
The goal is not perfection.
The goal is confidence, awareness, and the ability to make better business decisions over time.
