I want to be the best person that I can be, using all my God-given and nurture-generated, attributes, whether I am at home or at work. At home, I want to be a dad who is around as much as possible (and available should an emergency present itself) as well as being able to financially provide in both the short and longterm.
I want justice. I want to give birth to a company. I want to control my destiny. To make a journey. To maintain the highest standard of integrity with all my inter-personal dealings. To stop manager-caused anxiety. I want to provide an outstanding, cheap and fast legal service to those who have been wronged.
I want to work smarter: to work close to home, in an area I adore, at a pace that I choose, when I want. I don’t crave vast riches; I just want to be rewarded fairly.
I want to work in relative quiet. I want to properly research legal issues. I want to write a book. I want to be able to mould future lawyers. I want to be part of a team in which all staff don’t mind coming to work; where the staff share in the success of the enterprise – be that with financial rewards or with other dividends such as good career development.
I want to be dynamic. To be creative. To improve my presentation and advocacy skills. To develop other skills. To grow as a human. To become more rounded.
I want to use the law firm for political ends, in terms of helping the needy or by raising my own standing so that I can help the needy from my privileged position.
Too often the little guy, who finds himself embroiled in a dispute, is either priced out of obtaining legal advice, pays for lawyers he can barely afford or has appointed lawyers, whom he didn’t properly choose.
