Our first featured solo practitioner is Michelle Hayden Bomberger, the founder of Small Business Legal Services PLLC, a law firm offering services focused on the unique issues small businesses face throughout their life cycles. Michelle has extensive experience in working with companies from Fortune 500 to one-person home-based businesses. She is also an entrepreneur. She not only runs her own law firm but also is the co-owner of a successful Bellevue, Washington restaurant and wine bar. This unique combination of legal and business skills brings valuable insight into Michelle’s work with entrepreneurs and small business owners.

Michelle has one piece of advice for solo practitioners and entrepreneurs:

The piece of advice I offer to clients (and failed to do myself initially) is to plan beyond “solo” stage. Many entrepreneurs start their businesses with a vision of doing “it” better and making some money. They are becoming self-employed. Before they know it, they’ve achieved the baseline of their business plan and are working night and day without a break. At that point, they must decide whether to grow beyond themselves (something that never occurred to most and they don’t have the skills to do) or scale back and make less. They are also so busy at that point that they are unable to focus on strategy, growth, and management. This ceiling can be avoided by planning for what the business will look like once the entrepreneur is maxed out.
