Lawyer Business Advantage

[https://www.lawfirmsuccessgroup.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/EP-213-Shoshanna-French_square.png] IN THIS EPISODE, ALAY AND SHOSHANNA DISCUSS:  * What intuition means. * How trusting your gut and the force relate to intuition.  * Why intuition is an important skill for attorneys to develop.  * Mistakes people make with understanding and using intuition.    KEY TAKEAWAYS: * Intuition is a way of knowing or understanding something without foreknowledge or experience.  * Intuition is experienced in the body, for many, in their gut. Some know it. Some see it. Intuition can show up differently, so it is important to understand how your intuition works. * Once you know how to use intuition, you don’t have to wait for it to strike – you can just apply it when you need it. * Make your intuition your PAL: Pause, Ask, Listen.   TWEETABLE MOMENTS: * “Everybody has it. Everybody has some experience with it.” —  Shoshanna French * “Intuition is a way of reading the information that’s there that maybe you consciously did not compute that it was important.” —  Shoshanna French * “People want to understand what intuition is and where it comes from. It doesn’t really matter where it comes from or what exactly it is. What’s more important is understanding how yours works, and then you get to decide what you think it is.” —  Shoshanna French * “Take a moment because the voice of intuition is much quieter than your brain, and even much quieter than the external noise.” —  Shoshanna French    Thank you to our Sponsor: Counsel CPAs: https://www.counselcpas.com/ [https://www.counselcpas.com/]     EPISODE REFERENCES:  * Blink by Malcolm Gladwell: https://www.amazon.com/Blink-Power-Thinking-Without/dp/0316010669 [https://www.amazon.com/Blink-Power-Thinking-Without/dp/0316010669] * Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell: https://www.amazon.com/Outliers-Story-Success-Malcolm-Gladwell/dp/0316017930 [https://www.amazon.com/Outliers-Story-Success-Malcolm-Gladwell/dp/0316017930]  * The Big Leap by Gay Hendricks: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0061735361/ [https://www.amazon.com/dp/0061735361/]    ABOUT SHOSHANNA FRENCH: Some hear intuition and think it refers to a good guess or a lucky break. No. When Shoshanna began to study intuition at age 18, very few people were talking about intuition, and it certainly wasn’t in the mainstream.  Her introduction was through Rosemary, the owner of a metaphysical shop in her college town.  She has been led by her intuition to find other mentors, explore practices, and find community with other like-minded people. Over the years, she is glad to report that many great thinkers, entrepreneurs, and global leaders have started talking about their intuition as a key part of their success strategy. Now, Shoshanna helps people apply their intuition in a practical way to achieve measurable success. Now is the time for people to recognize and use their intuitive gifts. What is keeping people from a fulfilling life?  From a seven or eight-figure business? From their dream relationship?  It’s from not following their intuition.  Shoshanna is here to help people interrupt their lives and get on the path of transformation that will change everything they ever knew. Shoshanna’s goal is to cultivate wildly successful leaders through the practical power of intuition as the founder of Simple Spirit™ [https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/72x72/2122.png], a keynote speaker, and coach to NFL leaders, Broadway and television stars, million and billion-dollar business founders, CEO’s, and business professionals. She loves exploring nature with her hubby, Steven, whether on the back of a bike or just climbing up mountains like a goat. Creating connections with her community in Denver and beyond. Plus, she is always on the hunt for the perfect everything bagel and cold brew coffee.   CONNECT WITH SHOSHANNA FRENCH:  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shoshannafrench/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/shoshannafrench/]  Website: https://www.simplespirit.com/ [https://www.simplespirit.com/]  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/simplespirittips [https://www.facebook.com/simplespirittips]  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shoshannafrenchstokes/ [https://www.instagram.com/shoshannafrenchstokes/]    CONNECT WITH ALAY YAJNIK:  Podcast: http://lawyerbusinessadvantage.com/ [http://lawyerbusinessadvantage.com/]  One Page Strategic Plan: LawFirmSuccessGroup.com [https://www.lawfirmsuccessgroup.com/] Email: Alay@YajnikGroup.com [alay@yajnikgroup.com] LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/alayyajnik [https://www.linkedin.com/in/alayyajnik/]

[https://www.lawfirmsuccessgroup.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/EP-212-Rob-Levine_square.png] IN THIS EPISODE, ALAY AND ROB DISCUSS:  * Your responsibility to your business as a law firm.  * The sliding meter that balances running the business and the practice of law.  * Finding ways to make things run more easily and cost less in your firm.  * Handling cash flow issues.    KEY TAKEAWAYS:  * A law firm is no different from any other business. It is still a business.  * Consider hiring remote staff internationally. There are great resources and people who don’t live in your direct area.  * Create projects and plans for your goals. You have to be able to carry them through in order for them to be paid back.  * Mastermind groups can really help with business growth. Everybody brings different mindsets, experiences, and issues that help everyone grow.   TWEETABLE MOMENTS: * “You are running a business that happens to be in the practice of law.” —  Rob Levine * “Plan where you are and where you want to be, then track month after month to make sure you can deliver.” —  Rob Levine * “You have to make sure your growth rate doesn’t outpace your revenue and your profit.” —  Rob Levine * “There is plenty of money out there. If you have a decent bit, especially a law firm, which is high margins and very profitable (bonus if you own your own building), you can get money.” —  Alay Yajnik    Thank you to our Sponsor: Counsel CPAs: CounselCPAs.com [https://www.counselcpas.com/]     ABOUT ROB LEVINE: Attorney.
