Before you get out their and marketing yourself, your practice or your firm, the first question you should ask yourself, is “Who do you wish to serve?” I advise you start to answer that question by taking a look at your own values. What are they? What’s important to you? Do most of your current clients have similar values? Align your values with the people you wish to serve.
The reason I suggest this is after working with several well-established lawyers who were stuck in building their practice. WHen I got in there and went deeper, more often than not, they were stuck because the people they were serving were not aligned with their values. So save yourself the time and heartache and have that aligned from the beginning. No matter where you are in your career, it doesn’t hurt to ask yourself these kinds of questions.
