It is Up to You to Create a Successful Law Practice

By Ben Glass

Your financial security is not the responsibility of anyone but yourself. It is too easy to blame others when your law firm isn't generating the kind of profit that you want. I can't tell you how many times I have heard attorneys blame insurance companies, judges, other lawyers, clients and the economy for their lack of success.

Don't join this group of "whiners" who refuse to admit that their actions may be playing a role in their circumstances. In fact, run the opposite direction when you hear other lawyers complaining. I know lawyers across the country who are highly successful, despite the slow economy.

You have to think like a smart business owner, which means you have to take responsibility for your own welfare. Look for other savvy entrepreneurs who seem to have figured out how to not only survive in a rough economy, but to actually thrive. When you find these people ask yourself, "What can I learn from them about how to achieve and maintain success?"

When it comes to creating a successful, profitable law practice, it is much more about the choices you make than what others do. Stop blaming everyone around you and focus on what you can do to succeed.
