The Truth About Running A Law Firm
4️⃣ I have been coaching and mentoring lawyers for 4 years through my coaching practice, Law Practice Queen.
⚖️When I started my law firm, Lipp Law, I was shocked at how much easier it was than I thought it would be.
🪜I put up so many mental hurdles to entrepreneurship.
🧠I had thoughts like:
❓What if I'm not smart enough?
❓What if it's too stressful?
❓What if I fail?
Btw, these are all normal thoughts to have. Most entrepreneurs have them!
Through mindset work, I replaced these untrue thoughts with:
🎯I might not be the smartest, but clients have chosen me before, and they will choose me again.
🌠It might be stressful being a lawyer, but if I create my own practice, I can design my firm in a way that benefits me.
🤷🏻♀️Even if I fail, at least I can say I tried.
⚖️With my newfound realization that running a law firm wasn't as hard as others claimed it was, I started Law Practice Queen to encourage other female lawyers to build a book of business, crown themselves, and take a chance on entrepreneurship.
🪜Since starting Law Practice Queen 4 years ago, I have:

I have enjoyed all my Law Practice Queen endeavors.
🤣Sometimes, I feel crazy for running a coaching biz and a law firm.
😊But I wouldn't have it any other way. I feel very fulfilled.
❓Is there anyone else out there with a side hustle or multiple jobs?
