Brooke Lively is a serial entrepreneur, financial strategist, and international bestselling author with more than two decades in the legal industry. She is the author of seven books, including Scaling Law, published by EOS Worldwide, which focuses on implementing the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) in law firms. Brooke helps firm owners gain clarity, traction, and profitable growth by turning legal practices into structured, scalable businesses.
Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll learn:
- [03:00] Why law firms believe EOS “doesn’t work” for them—and why that’s a myth.
- [07:15] The difference between delegating and abdicating responsibility.
- [10:35] The six pillars of EOS and how they apply to any business.
- [22:10] How to solve root issues instead of repeatedly treating symptoms.
- [25:10] Why documented processes are the foundation of scalable growth
In this episode:
If your business depends on you for every decision, every approval, and every correction, you don’t have a scalable company—you have a job with overhead.
In this episode, Adi Klevit interviews returning guest Brooke Lively about her new book, Scaling Law, and what it really takes to implement EOS inside a law firm. Brooke explains why many attorneys believe they are “different” and why they often operate as practices instead of businesses. The shift from practitioner to business owner requires systems, structure, and intentional leadership.
Adi and Brooke walk through the six EOS components—Vision, People, Data, Issues, Process, and Traction—and show how each pillar builds on the others. They discuss common delegation mistakes, including abdicating responsibility without providing clarity, tools, or defined outcomes. Brooke shares a powerful example of multiple law firm partners using different client contracts—an operational risk that could easily be solved with a documented, centralized process.
The conversation reinforces a universal truth: without documented processes, clear accountability charts, and structured decision-making, businesses repeat the same problems. When systems are implemented and followed consistently—even 80% of the time—organizations gain traction, reduce chaos, and create companies that can run beyond the owner.
