The internet is rife with cookie-cutter tips that can actually lead your business to fail—yet, we treat this blanket advice like it’s beyond reproach. 

Many law firm owners feel stuck, following generic business advice that seems logical but often leads to stagnation or even failure. From financial preparation to hiring strategies and managing employee turnover, the path to success is filled with misleading "truisms" that might be doing you more harm than good.
