How to Start a Law Firm | The Revenue Doubler System

Starting a law firm is not just about practicing law. For me, it is more than helping people who have been charged with crimes. It is more than keeping prosecutors and cops honest. It is a business. I am here to make money. I am here to provide for my family.



The problem is, though, that law school (and college if you are a psychology major like I am) doesn't teach you how to run a business. It doesn't teach you the basics like accounting, marketing, management and the like, and it also doesn't teach you about how to think like a business person.



If you have no idea what I'm talking about, think about how your mind works now that you've been through law school. You analyze problems differently. The world looks different to you. You were taught a new way to gather, process, and analyze information.



You need to teach yourself to do these same things when learning how to start a law firm. You need to think about things like maximizing revenue, your ideal client, appealing to that ideal client, monitoring return on investment, customer experience, and setting up systems so you aren't reinventing the wheel every day.



And although you can do it on your own, there are people out there that can help you. One of the people I've discovered that has helped me tremendously is RJon Robins. He was a law practice management guru for the Florida bar association until he decided to venture out on his own. And he's developed a program call the revenue doubler system that has helped me tremendously with the law practice management and marketing side of things.



Before I go any further, I want to make it clear that I'm not being paid by RJon for any of this. I just use his services and think you all could benefit tremendously from them. His system is full of audio, video, and print resources, and he does a biweekly phone call on a wide range of topics and makes himself available for questions. It has helped me tremendously in building the systems I need to have a successful business and learn how to think like a businessman as well as a Seattle DUI attorney.



So, as you embark on 2010, keep in mind that it's okay to reach out for help. It's important to understand that you are going to have to alter your mindset to become both attorney and business person.
