Be Courageous in 2019

2019 is your year to be courageous. Do something you’ve been afraid of doing.

It could be:

• putting yourself out there by writing a blog post, speaking at a conference, or engaging on social media — increasing awareness of you as a lawyer doesn’t mean you need to share content about the law (e.g., talk about your experiences in the legal profession, community involvement, or other personal aspects);
• losing the mindset that you need to communicate in a conservative tone or have to market to everyone instead of a niche audience; or
• executing a dream to achieve career happiness or personal growth.

It’s time to step outside your comfort zone. Dare to do something different. It may ignite the sparkle in you so you can make your clients shine.

There will never be a good time to start this process. So right now:

• identify what you’d want to achieve in 2019;
• break down, and schedule, the tasks; and
• if you need to be accountable to someone, email or call that person you’d be fearful of letting down to share what you’d like to achieve and your timeline.

I wish you an abundance of success in 2019!
