Many people answer this question with “NO”! I know I did. I used to walk around with the anthem “IQ” in my head; it stood for “I quit”. I had several quite provocative IQ scenarios running, depending on what type of corporate nonsense was making me crazy at the time. My problem was that I couldn’t follow through until I figured out what I did want to do- which turned out to be helping more attorneys answer “YES” to the question I’ve used as my title for this inaugeral blog entry.

I believe my business tagline- that “life is short” and “struggle is optional“, and I chose to become a practice management coach because I know for a fact that “business coaching works“.

Attorneys have an advantage that many people don’t share- your profession is “of service”; you have a passion and a calling in life. For the most part, my conversations with attorneys are about the impact their practice is having on the rest of their lives. My clients aren’t focused on finding meaning in their work. They’re learning how to change the way they do business in order to change their lives on the whole. The objective is to make sure they don’t waste a single day on this Earth.

A final thought:

This is it- we don’t get “do-overs”. If you aren’t enjoying yourself most of the time; if you have any regrets or guilt-trips about how you spend your time- then step up and make changes now.
