Ep. 26 - Why Running a $10 Million Law Firm is EASIER Than Running Your Current Practice

Andy Stickel & Bill Hauser

Most lawyers believe that growing their firm means more stress, more clients, and more problems. But what if the opposite is true? In this eye-opening episode, we break down why running a $10M–$50M law firm is actually easier than running a small one—and why scaling may be the key to unlocking the freedom, wealth, and personal fulfillment you’ve been working toward for years.

Drawing from firsthand experience scaling to eight figures, Bill reveals:

  • The mindset shift required to stop being the bottleneck
  • The executive structure that runs the business without you
  • How to scale lead generation, intake, and case operations sustainably
  • What true CEO work looks like (hint: it's about decisions, not deliverables)
  • Why the hardest part of scaling has nothing to do with money or operations—it’s YOU
  • How big-firm freedom forces you to confront your real identity, goals, and desires

Plus, Bill unpacks why today—amid massive shifts in AI, marketing, and law firm ownership—is the greatest opportunity in legal history for committed attorneys.

If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re capable of building a self-managing, highly profitable firm… this episode will show you not only that it’s possible, but that your life will get dramatically easier once you do.
