Fail fast to succeed faster

• Janice tells us that  while she didn’t choose to leave her last position, she really made lemonade out of the lemons she was given.  She says that mind set is everything, if she hadn’t had a positive mindset, she wouldn’t have landed on her feet as a Lawpreneur.

Tell us something good

• Some of her current clients are people and businesses that she was on the other side of the table from in her last role.  Its a great testament to who she was when she was up against them.
• ON a restaurant buy/sell deal she did such a great job that she was rewarded with referrals to two of that clients friends for the same service.

Favorite Books:

• Outliers: The Story of Success Malcolm Gladwell takes us on an intellectual journey through the world of “outliers”–the best and the brightest, the most famous and the most successful. He asks the question: what makes high-achievers different? His answer is that we pay too much attention to what successful people are like, and too little attention to where they are from: that is, their culture, their family, their generation, and the idiosyncratic experiences of their upbringing.
• Janice also reminds us of the importance of reading industry specific publications to be current on the changes and opportunities in your industry.
