In this episode of The Rainmaking Podcast, host Scott Love speaks with Jay Harrington—former big law attorney, author, and founder of Harrington Communications—about how professionals can scale their practices beyond the limits of their own billable hours. Jay explains that true scale in professional services comes from creating systems, building teams, and narrowing your focus to gain deeper expertise and more visibility. Drawing from his legal and entrepreneurial background, he shares how narrowing a practice area actually expands opportunity by allowing professionals to stand out, raise rates, and reduce marketing complexity. Jay emphasizes that scaling isn’t just about delegation—it’s also about becoming known as a trusted advisor and thought leader. By consistently showing up through writing, speaking, and networking in a focused niche, professionals can build a reputation that attracts inbound business and enables long-term growth. This episode is filled with practical insights for lawyers and service providers looking to grow their book of business strategically and sustainably. https://therainmakingpodcast.com/ --------------------------------------------- Jay Harrington is a business coach and trainer, and consultant to lawyers and law firms.
