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?
The reason why people say passion is because if you like what you do, the inevitable downs will keep you going. If you hate it, you’re going to do a disservice to the business and the people you lead (if you get there).
Find something that fulfills your spirit. The money then comes.
