Darren Wurz: Financial Secrets for Law Firm Owners

Description

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Darren Wurz discuss:

Learning skills outside of just the law.
Niche down to stand out in the crowd.
Top struggles lawyers have around money.
Making the changes that will make the biggest difference in the future.

Key Takeaways:

Awareness of your money is the first step. You have to know where it is going in order to understand what is happening.
In a law firm, money is often fluctuating. Understanding your cash flow is key to understanding your overall financial situation.
You have to know where you are going with an inspiring vision in order to know how much you need to save to get there. Few people are inspired by saving money.
You want to make your financial plans somewhat realistic. If you’re in a situation that is completely unsustainable (maybe due to lifestyle creep) you may have to make dramatic changes to get back to your goals.

"It's tough to build a business. It is tough to launch out on your own. But the cool thing about it is if you put in the hard work and determination, if you learn the skills you need to learn, you can build the business that you want." — Darren Wurz
