This is unheard of growth, but it’s VERY possible. In this episode, Sasha Berson sits down with Andy Goldstrom, Managing Partner at Midcourse Advisors, whose clients grow at an average pace of 40% per year (not a typo!). He explains why most law firm owners are stuck at $2-3 million, why hiring A-players is your *biggest* mistake, and why your intake process is crushing your growth. P.S. You do *NOT* want to miss how even a modest-sized law firm can create a $10 million exit. Tune in today.

📰 About Andy Goldstrom:

Andy Goldstrom has done what most business advisors only talk about: he built two companies from the ground up, landed them both on the Inc. 5000 list, and sold them to Fortune 50 buyers. Now, as Managing Partner of Midcourse Advisors, he's channeling 20 years of experience into one mission: helping law firm owners grow at an astonishing rate of 40% per year. Andy has hired over 500 people, maintained a 98% employee retention, and knows what it takes to scale a business without losing your team — or your mind.

👉 Sasha and Andy explore:

— The exact formula used by smart law firms that grow at 40%.

— Why hiring B players is *far* better than hiring A players.

— Why your intake process is likely broken… and silently eating away at your growth.

— How a "modest" law firm, set up right, can become a $10 million exit.

— Why the *best* time to plan your exit is right now — even if you're 20 years away from it.

👉 Main Takeaways from the Episode:

— Block one hour this week to write your firm's 3-year vision: revenue target, team size, services. Then schedule a team meeting and share it with your staff.

— Schedule individual check-ins with every person who reports to you this month. Ask them about their growth, their challenges, and what they need from you.

— Go to your next networking event with a target list. Pick 3 specific people you want to connect with, do your homework on them in advance, and follow up within 24 hours.
