Run Your Law Firm Like a Well Crewed Ship - Charted Consulting
Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in business development but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Michael English, Founder of Charted Consulting, located in St. Louis, MO, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
I help solo and small law firms streamline and improve their processes/procedures and help them leverage their software through automation.
Tell us about yourself
I started working with my wife in her solo law firm. I gained valuable insight into how a law firm operates, what works and what doesn't, and how you can use software to streamline operations. From there, I began helping other law firms streamline their operations and leverage automation.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
This was originally meant to be more of a side hustle but quickly turned into a full-blown business through organic growth.
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
Being consistent with marketing and hiring. When it comes to hiring, it can be difficult to find the right people that will care as much as you do about the service you provide. Also, it is difficult to recognize that hiring is the path to growth and not just a cut into your profits.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
Always be planning a step ahead. Develop a plan for hiring and when you will hire. DO NOT undercharge your services (You will burn out on the work). Don't let the competition deter you from pursuing your business dreams; just find out what sets you apart.
