What They Didn't Teach Us About Running a Business in Law School
with Neil Tyra
Do you ever feel like what you learned in law school didn't prepare you for the world of running a law practice? Law school didn't teach us how to start our practices the right way so we could scale them into a thriving business. We didn't learn how to make sure that our businesses would meet our financial goals and provide the type of lifestyle we deserve. After ten years, I was fed up with struggling in my practice and decided to begin a journey to scaling a
successful practice that would actually allow me to finally live the life I've always dreamed of. I invite you to listen in on the conversations I'm having with some of the most successful solo and small firm practitioners along with leading business entrepreneurs and share how I am implementing what I am learning. All with the goal of helping you take control of your practice, and your life. This is The Law Entrepreneur.

Listen to the episode hereThis is a classic rerun of my episode with Lexlee Overton. Today we’re covering a slightly different type of topic, but a critical topic for both attorneys and entrepreneurs: how to improve your outlook and mindset through the use of mindfulness meditation.
Our guest, Lexlee Overton is a 5th generation lawyer (that’s right – her parents, her parent’s parents, and her parent’s parent’s parents, and her parent’s parent’s parent’s parents were all trial attorneys) who has seen firsthand the impact that being an attorney can have on someone’s physical and mental health. So she founded Mind Over Law to help other attorneys learn scientifically proven techniques for releasing stress, anxiety, and fear – without changing professions.
