The key to a successful practice starts with creating your ideal vision of what you want your firm to be like. As Steven Covey said in 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: Begin with the end in mind.
Defining your vision takes time and thoughtful reflection. And you should keep working to refine it. Because once you have your vision set, it’s a lot easier to describe the important goals that need to be reached to create your dream law practice.
BTW, I’d love to hear your questions or get feedback (if you want to record your thoughts using this cool tool).
