Episode 154-Charley Mann on a Business ‘Health Check’ and Other Tools for Growth-Building My Legacy

Welcome to Episode 154 of Building My Legacy.

In this podcast we talk with Charley Mann, the president and lead coach of Great Legal Marketing, which helps law firm owners build high-income, self-managed practices. Our discussion is valuable for any business owners who want to know why their business can’t grow. Charley’s “health check” offers a unique way to look at revenue per employee and how this figure can tell you if you have the right number of employees to deliver a profit now and to allow for growth.

Charley also introduces us to his “mastermind groups” in which attorneys come together to share their collective wisdom and provide a level of accountability that group participants may not have on their own. These groups emphasize Charley’s belief that business growth can’t just be about marketing, operations, finance or hiring. “It’s all of that stuff put together that makes the real impact.”

– The key to moving from a “family business” to a corporation
– Why you need to “trust the process” if you want to grow
– The difference between a coach and a consultant and what you should look for in each
