Hi guys,
Im a tech guy working in the litigation industry for over 3 years.
Its just a job, pays bills, and my silly app business and website expenses on my fastlane journey
Thing is though, despite how much i hate being a wage slave, in the 3 years i have inevitably learned at least some stuff about the litigation industry, especially the kind of work there is to do.
Lately i've been entertaining the idea of starting my own business in a niche slice of the industry.
A lot of the tech stuff we do involves very expensive software with ridiculous licensing costs, but not for the niche I'm interested in. The software ill need are very cheap one time purchases for that niche.
My one big obstacle is the ocean of complex laws and rules regarding sensitive law firm data, nondisclosure stuff, etc, etc...
I know ZERO about that stuff, I'm just a tech drone who gets the actual shit done so the sales guy can make his fat commission, the company gets to charge crazy markups, and i get a bullshit 500 bonus that becomes 250 after 50% tax.
I'm feeling pretty confident that if i can get through the law mumbo jumbo to keep my a$$ covered, I can start calling law firms up and getting jobs. Getting clients of course is my second obstacle but i've been reading up on copywriting, marketing, how to sell and shit. I'm starting to grow a pair of balls to do it, especially since I'm super confident that i can do the tech stuff in this specific niche.
And i can train others to do the tech stuff for me, ergo... FASTLANE BABY...
It would be absolutely poetic if i can pull this off.
My question is what kind of lawyer do i need to talk to, does it even matter?
I never hired anyone before, the task is honestly very daunting to me.
But I've been reading Felix Dennis's book and he talks about taking the skills learned from your industry and if you see an opportunity, grab it!
In the book he talked about raising capital and how he hates dealing with loan sharks and venture capital firms(dolphins), and loves the fishes(friends, family, ordinary folks)
He had a lawyer friend help with forming a company, publisher friends help with talking to printing presses, the dude had good connections.
my only startup costs is getting the cheap software and i guess paying a lawyer cause i don't have connects.... my failure for not networking and being young i guess.
Man if i had a lawyer and a sales guy and we split everything 3 ways, wed make a killing lol
