On Friday of last week, I left work feeling kind of good. I don't know why, I just did. I have reached the conclusion that I am going to begin the wheels to start my own law practice. For some reason, I am excited about this. Considering I have no money to invest in my business, and I have no clients as of yet, I am happy about the idea. Yesterday, I found out I was moved to another section of court with my friend. This friend is one of the two people I want to go into practice with. The judge in this section is laid back, so if I need to go to civil court to take care of civil matters, I can while my co-counsel holds down the fort in criminal court. I met with a colleague of mine from law school and he and I decided to work together on some cases. For the time being, he will refer civil cases to me and once I branch out of the office, then I will begin criminal defense work. I came home and obtained a federal tax identification number on-line, and tomorrow I will open up a client-trust fund account with the bank. I am excited about this new venture for me. I think as long as I was just focused on the office I am currently working for, I was depressed and didn't want to think about my future because I couldn't see past that office. But something inside of me is beginning to look at things in another perspective. I don't expect to go out, hang my shingle, and become a millionaire over night. But it sure would be great to make additional money in the months to come. I am praying that I can keep a straight head and think logically throughout this venture. It feels so good to me and it feels so right--just like music.
