  • Welcome to today’s episode of the Wealthy Woman Lawyer® Podcast! I'm your host Davina Frederick, and today's episode starts a series called 'The Dumbest Thing I’ve Heard Lately.'

    It’s a series because, unfortunately, I’m reading and hearing dumb things all the time out on these social media streets, and I just can’t take it anymore. I have to say something about it.

    And, no, I’m not talking about politics or Gen Z or TikTok; I’m talking about dumb business advice and words that are supposed to be inspirational but that may actually be harmful.

    Listen in as I share:

    The dumbest thing I’ve heard lately—and who said it (I spill the tea).The myth social media influencers perpetuate that may be harmful to your mental health and wellbeing.What top billionaires have in common (besides their massive wealth).Why I think work can be a privilege, not a punishment.A must-read book I recommend about living a purpose-driven life.And much more!

    I hope you enjoy this week’s episode. I’d love to hear your thoughts! Click on this link to message me about this topic or other dumb things you’ve heard this week that you might want to share with me.

    Also, check out the Forbes Richest Self-Made Women in America 2024 list linked in the show notes. It’s inspiring to see who made the list!

  • Today’s episode of the Wealthy Woman Lawyer® Podcast will be brief because this afternoon, I’ll be presenting my most popular training: “3 Critical Strategies My Women Law Firm Owner Clients Deploy to Build $1M+ Law Firms Without Overwork and Overwhelm.” I want you to hop over to that because I think it’s a powerful training that will give you more than a few lightbulb moments.

    It's still possible to register and attend. We start at 3 p.m. EDT today, June 6th. I hope to see you there.

    So, let’s get into today’s topic: This One Shift Can Get You to $1M.

    I know right now you are probably thinking: “Davina, you are crazy. There’s no one thing I can do to scale my law firm to a million dollars! There are a million things I have to do to reach that goal.”

    I hear you. If you are like most of my women law firm owner clients when they first start working with me—or like me way back in the day when I started my first law firm business—you have a very long to-do list that seems to grow faster than you can check things off on it.

    Listen in as I share:

    What you are probably doing now that you think you need to do more of and what you should be doing instead.The reason I love a good list, how it can hurt your business, and how, if you are a list lover like me, you can use list-making more effectively.Three questions you should ask yourself about your list of “to-do’s” if you want to make more money while working fewer hoursThe one shift you can begin making today to get you to $1M fasterThe right way and the wrong way to make that shiftOne of the biggest mistakes women law firm owners are making as managers is that they don’t realize they are making (and what to do to correct this).Three questions to ask yourself to improve your workflow systems (and remove yourself as the clog in your pipeline).How to get my exact, step-by-step law firm growth blueprint—one that’s helped hundreds of women law firm owners scale their law firm businesses.And much more!

  • In today’s episode of the Wealthy Woman Lawyer® Podcast, I want to share with you five skills I acquired that I believe made me a better business owner than I was when I started my entrepreneurial journey.

    I’m also going to share with you WHY I think they made me a better business owner because that’s important as well. Just adopting someone else’s methods or ideas on a subject without understanding why they are doing it that way will not help you. Understanding the 'why' behind business practices empowers you to make informed decisions and take control of your business.

    Listen in as I share…

    Why it’s important to understand why someone does what they do (what they get out of it).Why I see opportunities all around me every day (yes, even in my inbox) and how that serves meWhy I’m grateful I went to law school and became an attorney and how it serves me as a business owner (but also, the downside)The one skill that is required to make anything happen and the advantage people who possess it have over those who do not.The skill that helps me to minimize fear and anxiety when things do not go the way I envision they will (this one has helped me to survive the inevitable ups and downs in my business)The most important skill to have if you want to make a career as an entrepreneur and business owner (and it’s also been the hardest one for me to master)How to get started if you want to hone your leadership skills and be a better law firm ownerAnd much more!

  • In today’s episode of the Wealthy Woman Lawyer® podcast, I had the pleasure of interviewing Doug Bradley, President and Founder of Everest Legal Marketing.

    Doug's journey to success is a testament to his resilience and hard work. Despite juggling two jobs, marriage, and homeownership, he managed to achieve a double major in Business Administration and Broadcasting at the University of La Verne. This dedication and perseverance inspire confidence in his abilities and his commitment to his work.

    Afterward, he entered the advertising world, working at Dex Media and witnessing firsthand the decline of yellow page advertising during the Great Recession. He then transitioned to Lawyers.com, where he excelled in a new industry, mastering all things SEO.

    When Martindale-Hubbell sold Lawyers.com, Doug decided to secure his financial independence, founding Everest Legal Marketing, LLC, a company that provides SEO, website design, and content marketing services to attorneys and law firms across the U.S.

    Listen in as Doug and I discuss:

  • In this week’s episode of the Wealthy Woman Lawyer® podcast, I share 3 Action Steps to Reclaim 10 Hours This Week because if there is one thing I know, it is that women law firm owners never feel like they have enough time to get everything done.

    Listen in as I discuss:

    Why I despise the term “time management” and what I think we should focus on instead.The top priorities many women law firm owners have shared with me (Are they yours, too?).My top priorities and how these inform how I spend my time.The two ways you can tell if what you say your top priorities are actually your top priorities or not.The biggest issue high-achieving women face that keeps them from spending more time focused on their highest priorities.The second biggest issue that sets us up for failure in prioritizing our time (Hint: “We have an other people problem.”) The lie we tell ourselves every time we break a time commitment we’ve made to ourselves.How email and a false sense of “legal emergencies” rob us of precious time.3 action steps you can take today to reclaim at least 10 hours of time this week (and every week after).And much more!

  • In today’s episode of the Wealthy Woman Lawyer® podcast, I chat with Gordana Mikalicki a/ka/a @lawyergordi, about how she’s working to transform the personal injury marketing in Phoenix, AZ, with her unique branding and service model.

    Gordana founded Elmm Law Group because she found the Arizona personal injury legal market to be stale and saturated with predominately male-run firms more concerned about their bottom lines than client injuries.

    The Elmm Law Group prides itself on providing clients with a non-traditional law firm experience focusing on direct attorney-client contact (she gives clients her private cell phone number), diligence, & straightforwardness. It uses modern technology to elevate efficiency and build client case values.

    Listen in as Gordi and I discuss:

    What influenced her to want to be a lawyer even at an early ageHer journey from serving as an Assistant Attorney General and public service work to personal injury lawyer (and the mindset shift that helped her make the transition)What turns her off about most personal injury marketing, why she thinks it hurts the profession, and what she’s doing differentlyWhat she did as a new law firm owner to keep her business growing during the COVID pandemicHow she overcame her fear of being in videos on social media and created a successful brandWhat she looks for in hiring her staff and why she’s found it to be more important than a particular skillset.Her number one piece of advice to women lawyers who want to start and scale a law firm business (Hint: Don’t expect her to sugarcoat it.)And much more!
