It was only three years ago that Isabel Gram, Arizona Business Attorney, was laid off from her longstanding corporate job. While the initial shock was disappointing, Isabel soon realized that this was the sign she needed to pursue her entrepreneurial dreams. Now, Isabel is happier than ever running her own practice where she has fully embraced the role of CEO. In today’s episode, Isabel sits down with host Vanessa Shaw to discuss how she became comfortable with owning her value and charging her clients for what her services are worth.
When Isabel first opened her practice, she thought she was automatically given the role of CEO, but quickly realized this wasn’t true. Instead, she quickly learned that in order to grow and scale her business, she needed to spend more time on business development and less time working contracts. After hiring Vanessa as her business coach, Isabel grew the confidence she needed to bring on another attorney. To her surprise, this decision has allowed her to attract ideal clients and cultivate her business into the practice of her dreams.
Tune into this episode of Get Rich Without Being a Bitch to learn more about the true definition of CEO, the importance of hiring a business coach, and how to step into your confidence, so you can take charge in your business and in life.
