We’re diving into what actually matters when it comes to building a paralegal business, how to think about your skills differently, and why the traditional “years of experience” mindset might be holding you back more than helping you. And if you’ve been quietly wondering whether this path is even possible for you… this episode might just shift everything. 00:00 Biggest question 00:23 Paralegal Interview Story 04:25 Subcontracting 08:00 Magic Years of Experience 08:32 Pick Your Service Lane 11:12 LPO Proof and Trends 12:58 Imposter Syndrome Trap 15:14 First Client Panic 17:55 Start Before Ready 18:22 Join the Society 19:56 Final Thanks and Wrap
