Scott Reust is an attorney, business operator, and one of my best friends. While you may not at first think of a lawyer as a business owner, he is. With a half dozen or so employees to manage, revenue, real estate, and the constant need to bring in clientele, he’s in business just like all of us. We discuss what traits and habits have helped his business succeed, the importance of properly handling legal work throughout one’s business evolution, and what mistakes mature businesses make and how to prevent them. Stay 'til the end of this one because Scott dispenses some of his best advice when he talks about how to work on the business versus working “in the business” and why it’s his goal to drop ten percent of his clientele each year.
