A large part of starting and sustaining a solo law practice is the proper mindset. There are many challenges and obstacles you will face and in starting your own firm. The author identifies potential challenges in opening a firm and offers great perspectives on how to deal with them. He is also honest about what takes to maintain a practice and how to handle set-backs, self-doubt, and what other people think.
I found his advice on envisioning your perfect client, building your brand, and defining your own idea of success most helpful.
I wish this book was available years ago when I started my firm. I would recommend it to anyone considering going solo into law practice.
Product Description
There are plenty of books out there about the practical aspects of opening a law practice. This book is different.
Solo out of School is a book for both law students thinking about a solo career and attorneys looking to open their own firms. It's about mindset, motivation, and viewing your solo career with perspective that allows you to see yourself and your work as something you can be proud of.
It's not a "how to" guide to starting a law practice. It doesn't say anything about the tools you'll need or whether to open a brick and mortar office. Rather, it's a "how can" guide to developing the mental toughness and right mindset to succeed as a solo attorney.
It's a collection of little lessons and simple reminders for when your choice to go solo in the first place come into doubt.
Solo out of School is about finding the strength and motivation to keep pushing. By embracing the words on its pages, my hope is that you'll realize, no matter how much you doubt yourself or secondguess your actions, you are good enough to be successful as your own boss.
