Elizabeth Tresp: Scaling and Growing Your Firm Creatively

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Elizabeth Tresp discuss:How Elizabeth started her law firm (and manages her other businesses as well). The secret of work-life balance. Managing workload capacity and workload ability when hiring. Understanding your core competencies and trying new things.  Key Takeaways:The work-life balance will change throughout your career and will look different for every person. Knowing when to hire is going to come with experience, but you need to be in tune with your employees, what is really happening, and if the work currently can support someone else. Always be recruiting (even if you’re not currently hiring). You never know what conversation is going to be had and what that will turn into. Be willing to take the risk on things you enjoy and make you feel good. You never know what you will learn or how your business will grow.  "Don't be scared. Take the risk. Invest in yourself. Invest in your goal and what you have to offer, own it, and feel good about it." —  Elizabeth Tresp Get a free copy of Steve’s book “Sales-Free Selling” here: www.fretzin.com/sales-free-selling Thank you to our Sponsors!Get Staffed Up: https://getstaffedup.com/bethatlawyer/Overture: https://overture.law/Get Visible: https://www.getvisible.com/ Episode References: 24 Months to Freedom by Brett Trembly - https://www.amazon.com/24-Months-Freedom-Staffing-Solutions/dp/1955242445 About Elizabeth Tresp: An attorney, business owner, investor, philanthropist, and mother, Elizabeth A.
