    What Are You Doing?

    I have my law degree, am a licensed attorney, and have worked in a few firms (although no patent law experience). Nevertheless, feel free to ask for advice about patents - general legal advice is something I'm good at!

    What Are You Doing?

    Wow! I give you mad props for what you're doing... it gives me motivation when I'm feeling lazy to work on my side business to know that you're out there grinding and working hard while supporting two teenagers at the same time. How do you sustain your energy?

    What Are You Doing?

    General plans here... please post what you guys are doing to build businesses, learn new skills, and achieve your financial freedom every day (whatever financial freedom means to you). For me, I'm (1) Working a 9-5 sales job - for now - to learn how to build a business and sell, and (2)...

    Starting the Unscripted Journey

    EXECUTION 
    Just joined the thread about a month ago, figured I'd publicly post my plan and progress here that will unshackle me from a lifetime servitude in the "cube" and will eventually bootstrap my own business to have freedom of time, and the money to live the comfortable lifestyle that I want.... (1)...

    F Tinder tell me where you men hang out at.

    Gym. If you're into health and fitness, that is. I met my significant other of two years there. What are your interests? Where do you spend free time? Go from there.

    Is your dating life fulfilling?

    PEOPLE HOT! 
    Also, if you're looking to read about the dating game and how to improve your looks, I'd check out GoodLooking Loser's blog. He has great insight about how to "screen" for the good girls and how to navigate out there. Like OP said, most girls in their 20's these days are just getting drunk at...

    Is your dating life fulfilling?

    PEOPLE HOT! 
    Agreed. First, you gotta get your looks in order. Harsh truth is that at first glance women are going to judge you based on how fit you are, your style and how your clothes fit, and how you carry yourself in conversations, etc. Once you are confident enough in the way you look, then you need to...

    Italy is a great country. Spent four months studying abroad in Rome, and would think that dealing with all those regulations in Italy as a lawyer would be cumbersome! Good luck with the switch, just keep talking with people and connect with them. Something about being a lawyer oddly makes this a...

    Thanks for the reply! I wrestled with the sunk cost decision for a while, but the pain of waking up and doing legal paperwork all day was just too much not to make a change. Once I was mentally over the sunk cost fallacy, I looked at other avenues of work where I could (1) learn how to build a...

    Thanks for the reply my friend. Yes, the forum is filled with a lot of go-getters that seem to have a similar attitude. I've looked at exploring building on what I know in the legal field. As far as I can see, that involves either (1) legal management consulting, or (2) building a legal tech...

    Thanks for the note. Yeah I guess down the road I could go into what's called "legal management consulting", which is business consulting for attorneys. The problem with that is that it's not very scalable. The other avenue is to build a legal tech product, and the other issue there is that...

    It's not a software sales job. I just said 'tech' because it's a very niche, technical B2B product. Honestly I just applied on LinkedIn and found a good fit

    And it's inside sales. A good entry-level job, will help me learn the ropes of the basics of business. How'd you like your sales gig, where'd it lead you?

    Being an attorney is definitely boring, lots of paperwork and for the most part, you are working on deals that other people made (not you). Some attorneys do love it, but I kept waking up and saying to myself that I couldn't do it for the rest of my life, I needed to build something

    Thanks for the reply. I'm doing B2B for testing equipment.. In a very niche area of manufacturing and the food industry. It's a tough product to sell but rewarding when it happens. The switch from law is going well. Business/sales is about building things that add value to other people's...

    Hi everyone: Here introducing myself on the forum. I'm a 26 year-old guy that recently (about 1 yr ago) graduated law school and passed the bar. I practiced law for a little while, did not like it (long hours, billable hour, thankless work) and switched to a sales/business development job at a...
