I have been a lawyer for a startup and am currently a lawyer for a small corporation. I’ve been considering starting my own business for a while now but I don’t know what type of business (not a law firm though). I’ve sat down with my spouse and brainstormed ideas. If I put my head down and focus I can be successful at most things I attempt so I want to get this right on the first attempt. I’m just curious what type of start up do you guys see a lawyer being successful at?
This is going to turn into a life advice at the end I can feel it.
How old are you? How many kids do you have? If any, how old? If not, are you planning to have any? Do you own or rent? How much money do you have saved up and how much of that you’re willing to risk? How important is your time to your wife? Do you think you can be effective in front of a computer or are you an out and about people person?
