Most court reporters don't go to school thinking they're going to become entrepreneurs. But that's exactly what happens — and nobody teaches you how.Whitney Kumar and Kamryn Villegas did it anyway. The identical twins — one minute apart — spent 13 years building KW Court Reporting from the ground up: a $350-a-month office, note cards with their names on them as business cards, and their parents following them in a separate car to law firm parking lots to watch the babies while they knocked on doors with a tin of their mom's famous chocolate chip cookies.In this episode, they walk us through exactly how they built one of Southern California's most respected court reporting agencies — a roster of 200 reporters, a reputation for treating reporters like partners, and a client base built entirely on loyalty and love for the profession.We get into:The no-backup-plan mindset that Kamryn says separates the people who make it from the people who don'tHow they ran their agency as the only two reporters on staff — and attorneys didn't even know there were two of themThe real challenge of being a freelancer and managing your time when you also want to build something biggerWhat it actually looks like to build a team around yourself so you're not the bottleneckAnd at the end — they're just about to tell us what happened with the Veritext acquisition. That's Episode 89. Don't miss it.Connect with Whitney & Kamryn: Website: kwcourtreporting.com Email: [email protected] Instagram & Facebook: @kwcourtreporting
