What’s a lesson you had to unlearn and what’s the backstory?

Being an entrepreneur often lures us into thinking that success will come effortlessly. We may believe it’s merely replicating our previous experiences but on our own terms and schedule. Yet, this notion rarely holds true. It’s a realization I encountered firsthand, earning me the moniker “CEO Paralegal” from my followers and clients, owing to my journey as the “Chief Everything Officer.”

The transformation began when I shifted my mindset. I transitioned from the simplistic idea of mirroring past achievements to acknowledging the presence of overhead and upfront costs in entrepreneurship. This shift compelled me to recalibrate my pricing strategies to reflect these realities.

More recently, I confronted another pivotal revelation: if I aimed to amplify my earnings, I needed to surround myself with the right people and immerse myself in the right environments. Success, I realized, was not a solitary endeavor but a collective effort that thrived within the realms of networking, mentorship, and collaboration.

In my journey from being underestimated to the esteemed “CEO Paralegal,” I learned that entrepreneurship demanded adaptability and the constant quest for growth. It wasn’t just about replicating past successes; it was about redefining and evolving in the ever-changing landscape of business.

Let’s talk about resilience next – do you have a story you can share with us?

Navigating the legal world as a non-lawyer presented a formidable challenge. The rooms I aspired to enter were often occupied by those bearing the prestigious title of JD holders. How could I, someone outside the legal profession, convince lawyers that I could offer valuable assistance to their businesses?

It was a puzzle I needed to solve, and I embarked on a journey to find the right words and refine my communication. I realized that to make my value known, I had to change the narrative. Instead of directly challenging their expertise, I reframed my message to focus on collaboration, offering a unique perspective and skills that could complement their legal prowess. This shift in approach opened doors that had previously been locked.

As I honed my communication strategy and adapted my approach, I began to find myself on stage as a keynote speaker at legal events across the nation. In doing so, I not only proved my worth to others but also, most importantly, to myself. I discovered that I possessed the capabilities and insights to make a meaningful impact in the legal realm, transcending the boundaries of formal legal education. My journey from outsider to respected contributor was a testament to the power of determination and the willingness to adapt to seize opportunities.
