What happens when the drive that built your firm starts costing you the life you wanted it to support?

In this episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Michael and Jessica Mogill answer three questions from firm owners who built real success but then realized the business was taking a toll on their health, marriage, and personal lives. Michael Mogill shares how he thinks about separating who you are from what you run, how to stay demanding without becoming unapproachable, and how to stay motivated when the old underdog story stops working.

Here's what you'll learn:

How to rethink "starting over" when the business is consuming your time and attention
How to keep high standards while creating a culture where your team is not afraid to challenge you
How to find a new source of drive when you have already achieved what used to motivate you

If you want a business that supports your life, you have to build it so it does not require you for everything.
