“Be deliberate in all that you do. This profession is incredibly time-consuming, but be deliberate about protecting time for you and your loved ones. Billing (and collecting) is the foundation of your firm, but be deliberate about feeding your passion for the law in addition to the bottom line. A good mentor is worth their weight in gold for helping you navigate the stress and challenges of your practice, but be deliberate about recognizing your own strength and building your own professional self-confidence. Hard work and focused dedication got you here, so be deliberate about being true to yourself and this noble profession.”
