Would You Work for You? Don’t Be a Terrible Boss. 

Your boss overbooks you, ignores your boundaries, expects you to do the work of multiple people, and rarely lets you completely unplug. Would you like to continue working for them?  

Probably not.  

The problem? You’re the boss. 

In this solo episode of From Esq. to Owner, Jordan Ostroff explores how law firm owners can become a terrible boss to themselves without even realizing it. What feels like dedication can slowly turn into an unsustainable way of working, where everything depends on you and there is never enough time to catch up. 

Jordan highlights some of the habits and assumptions that keep attorneys stuck in that cycle and shares what he thinks need to change if you want to maintain high standards without running yourself into the ground. 

If your firm demands more and more of you as it grows, this episode may help you rethink the job you’ve created for yourself.
