"For more than a decade, I've written on LinkedIn almost every day. I missed a few here and there. Trials intervene. Travel intervenes. Life intervenes. But mostly, I showed up. I began writing while I was still trying to figure out if I belonged in this profession. I was dealing with imposter syndrome. I wondered if I was a fraud. I wrote to clarify my thinking. I wrote to test whether I had learned anything worth sharing."
"I. Mindset: The Foundation (1-15) 1. Work hard. No substitute. 2. Discipline beats motivation. 3. When it gets uncomfortable, lean in. 4. The hard path usually leads somewhere worthwhile. 5. Temporary setbacks are not permanent verdicts. 6. Grit is staying when others leave. 7. Doubt is normal. Quitting is optional. 8. You don't need to feel ready. You need to start."
Daily writing produced one hundred practical lessons distilled from courtroom experiences, depositions, client meetings, interviews, conferences, and hard conversations. Core mindset principles emphasize hard work, discipline over motivation, leaning into discomfort, persistence, curiosity, habit-building, and showing up even when unmotivated. Ownership directives require treating cases as personal responsibilities: delegate tasks but not accountability, verify citations, meet deadlines, follow up, anticipate problems, and keep files moving. Attention to preparation and detail reduces stress and prevents costly errors. The guidance prioritizes actionable practices that improve outcomes and professional growth in real legal practice.
