#WhyIAmASolo - Read Solo By Choice For The Answer.

Solo By Choice - Carolyn Elefant. Carolyn Elefant is one of my heroes. We both began our solo practices against our will. I was a young lawyer of 24 who couldn't get a decent job at a firm. I thought I was doomed to failure. I opened a two man practice with a fellow law student, and realized, early on, that I liked being my own boss. I liked making my own decisions. A few years later, I opened my own practice, when my two partners' interests and mine diverged. It was an amicable parting, and I never looked back. When Carolyn was told by her firm that she wasn't "partner material" she began a solo practice, and, like me, discovered the life long benefits of being your own boss. If you are considering solo practice, buy this book. Read this book. Follow this book. Success isn't always about having a million dollar house, or a limitless pot of money; especially, if you are spending 80 hours a week doing another's bidding. Success is about the freedom to wake up every day, and do something you love, and getting paid a reasonable amount to do it. Success is about spending as much time as you want every day working, and playing, and loving, and being a friend, and just living well. Thanks, Carolyn, for spreading the solo gospel. You are my hero.
