Those shiny apples. Didn’t Snow White take a bite and fall into a dead sleep? Recently, and for the briefest of periods, I had the experience of getting hypnotically distracted from my core mission at Solo Practice University. Usually, I’m laser-focused knowing when to say, ‘no, I’m not interested’, or ‘thank you for the opportunity but […]
(Update: Interesting update to this story as Sara has had an interview, a potential part-time opportunity with the firm and, before they will consider hiring her she must write a marketing plan on how she will seek out business for the firm in her desired practice area).

I am in awe of my clients. That’s why I chose to represent small business owners exclusively. Because I get jazzed talking to entrepreneurs. Because I adore talking about the issues and practicalities and triumphs and failures these small businesses encounter every single day. I learn more about business from my clients than I ever […]
While out on a walk recently, I briefly overheard part of a conversation about weddings.
