Neil Tyra | Creating a Virtual Law Firm

Episode #37

Law school teaches you a lot… but nothing about running a business – that’s your law practice. You want a great income and an enjoyable lifestyle, while doing fulfilling work. 

 

But to have that thriving business, you need to start thinking like an entrepreneur.

  • Ways to create a flexible schedule not tied to the courthouse
  • Why you should think about starting a podcast 
  • The biggest mistakes start-up law firms make 
  • And more
