>> Being an entrepreneur now, sort of getting
to have my own law firm, is the most fulfilling thing.
The fact that I have clients that pay me, that respect my time and respect how busy I am
and that I can provide not only advice to them
but also business connections to them is very valuable to me.
I've built a long time in this city developing networks along a wide variety of organizations,
nonprofits, business organizations, political organizations.
And when client hires me, they're not just hiring a lawyer who can draft a contract
because there are probably 14,000 other lawyers in Center City, Philadelphia, who can do that.
What I think the client is hiring me is because I'm also sort of their champion,
their business development officer, and they're getting that as a value add.
So in addition to providing legal services,
I'm also giving them what I believe is business advice, but also business connections
and even referrals right back to them.
The most challenging part for me is probably just time management.
I think that's actually one of my strengths, but time management.
There's so many places to be, so many clients calling, and so many things I want to do
in a day that my really set, well, set to-do list becomes longer by the end of the day.
Not a bad thing to have, but it's good to be busy, but it's always a challenge.
I mean I could work 24/7, but I need to find a balance.
I look to find a balance, and I think I'm doing an ok job at it.
