The success of a company hinges on its culture, leadership, and growth strategies.

Rick Watson is the author of “A Firm Worth Building,” which helps professional businesses scale and thrive. He identifies a common problem advice professionals all seem to share. These business owners focus more on performing their professional specialty rather than what it takes to run the business well. Many professional firms and experts in their fields, like accountants, financial advisors, and attorneys, struggle to find “good” growth. Some professionals even look to discard a percentage of their client book every few years as a way of managing growth. Rick would say this is all backward.

Rick’s book “A Firm Worth Building” covers about 30 lessons that every business owner should know, from thinking through branding to increasing referrals through professional networks.

Additionally, he has a few unique success concepts, like compressing the time it takes to build client trust and why building up your staff and other professionals through a dedicated process of “edification” is so helpful. He and his partners are forward-thinkers; their motto is – “We build what should exist.” Rick and his team are not afraid of complexity, hard work, or innovation. Rick’s accomplishments have opened the path to achieving his own dreams. Living with his family on a 5-acre horse ranch and wine-making operation in Loomis, California, where he still finds the time to enjoy the life that he has been able to build through embodying his own teachings. When he’s not helping manage and scale businesses, Rick rides Arabian horses in 30-100-mile races.

In this episode of Victim to Victory: The Personal Injury Playbook, Lawrence LeBrocq and Rick Watson discuss the importance of defining a positive culture, setting clear goals, and leading by example in business growth.
