Does this sound familiar to you? You love practicing law, but right now, in this moment, you don’t feel fulfilled. You’re not sure what it is (or maybe you are), but something’s not working — and while you used to love what you do, now you’re considering leaving your law practice altogether.
But is that the real solution? Do you actually want to close your law practice? Or, are you tired of putting yourself in a position you don’t enjoy — like becoming the bookkeeper, the manager, the salesman, and the marketer?
Are you ready to leave law as you know it, or are you tired of wearing all the hats and being stuck in the cycle of feast or famine?
Why Closing Your Practice Might Not Be The Answer
I’m asking you because your plan to close your practice might not be the answer you’re searching for. In fact, if you’re considering closing your practice to pivot or open another, you may end up in the same situation.
Why? Because you love law and being a lawyer, but being a business owner is giving you a hard time. Law school taught you how to practice law, not run a business, and it’s causing a disconnect between what you want to do (serve your clients) and what you do (marketing, admin, and everything in between).
Instead of closing your practice, consider this: outsourcing.
How Does Outsourcing Help When You’re Ready to Call it Quits?
It all boils down to WHY you’re ready to call it quits. What if you could fall in love with your practice again? What if you could pivot confidently into a speciality you’re passionate about? What if you could find perfect-fit clients consistently, with ease? Would you still want to call it quits?
That’s what outsourcing does, it allows you to conquer the parts of your business (because your practice IS a business) that you don’t enjoy. For example, here at Make It Rain Online, we work with law firms and lawyers to master their brand messaging and strategy while working on campaigns to consistently attract perfect-fit clients.
We take marketing and messaging off your plate, helping you navigate other aspects of your pratice with ease (and relief). That’s the power of outsourcing.
Do You Actually Want to Close Your Law Practice? Or, is it Time to Try Something Else…
Now, it’s officially time to do some soul-searching and consider the “what-ifs” of your practice. Really think about why you’re considering closing along with what would need to happen if you were to stick around — who knows, it might be more achievable than you think.
If you’re ready to attract perfect-fit clients, run your practice with more ease and confidence, and give yourself (and your business) a second chance before saying “good-bye,”book a free consultation with MIRO.
