Episode 341: I Fired a Practice Area… and Everything Got Easier

In this episode, Molly sits down with Miriam Fisher, a Richmond-based immigration attorney, entrepreneur, and author of Mom’s a Lawyer, to share how narrowing her focus to 100% immigration law unlocked clarity, efficiency, and growth.

Miriam breaks down the metrics that guided her pivot, the leadership growth required to scale, and how she integrates family life into business with intention and authenticity.

Key Takeaways:

• Transitioning from a general practice to a niche focus in immigration law can significantly improve efficiency and profitability.
• Integrating family life into professional endeavors can enrich both personal fulfillment and career success.
• Continuous personal growth and leadership training are crucial for managing a growing team and achieving long-term business goals.
• Active community involvement and authentic marketing strategies help create a strong brand presence.
• Clearly defined goals and open communication with the team foster a unified direction and a healthy, dynamic work environment.

 

Quote for the Show: "We realized that it was actually hurting our profitability to be spreading ourselves across different practice areas. And when we actually isolated by practice area, by case type, it was very, very clear that immigration was more profitable for us for a couple reasons." - Miriam Fisher
