Plan to prosper
While nothing is guaranteed in life or law, attorneys and firm management consultants say taking a step back and looking at the big picture, whether you're a solo practitioner or at a large firm, is essential to knowing where you've been, where you're going -- and how you will keep growing. And such a strategic planning process is the best way to achieve success in the long run, even if it seems like you've been doing just fine dealing with the day to day.
