Hey, it's Marielle.
Rachel Rogers graduated from law school during the 2008 recession.
Perfect timing.
And I mean, every day there was a news article about how there were too many lawyers, right?
Too many new law grads, not enough jobs, which was the story of my life at the time.
So I had to figure out what was I going to do.
Rachel decided to create a job for herself.
She started her own practice.
And because she was short on experience, she asked a professor she knew to be her mentor.
You know, I said, basically, could I call you if I run into trouble as I'm working with clients?
And they said, yes.
And so that was sort of like the partner associate relationship.
I created it for myself by just asking someone who was more experienced than me to just have my back.
And then I started my practice and I ran that for seven years.
Rachel eventually grew her practice to five employees, and then later,
she started her current company, which is called Hello7.
It's a consulting firm that teaches women how to build wealth,
and she has 22 people working for her now.
She's also the author of the book Future Millionaire.
