How to Grow Your Law Firm by Focusing on Your Profit Core (Ep. 187)
On this episode, host Darren Wurz explores a central business-growth principle inspired by Profit from the Core by Chris Zook and James Allen: profitable growth comes from strengthening your core business before expanding into new areas.
Darren challenges law firm owners who equate growth with adding practice areas, opening offices, or pursuing new markets. Darren argues that these moves can actually reduce profitability when a firm’s existing core has not been fully developed.
Darren discusses:
- Focus on your core before expanding
- Why your practice area is not necessarily your core?
- Beware of growth distractions.
- How moving away from its core almost destroyed Gucci.
- Why Geographic expansion requires proof.
- How to build a core profit map.
