The Practice

I am taking a page out of Seth Godin’s book “The Practice: Shipping Creative Work”.
According to the book, the image below is a meme based on an old comic instruction manual on how to draw an owl.
Step 1: Draw two ovals and a line.
Step 2: Draw the owl.
Tada…now you have learned how draw an owl. 🤣
The humour lies in all the steps that are missing between step 1 and step 2.

The image below illustrates how other people’s advice on business development appears to me sometimes.
The advice I have received are iterations of:
📌 Be patient. Just do the work. The clients will come.
📌 Be patient. Your turn will come.
📌 Don’t worry. Just do good work.
📌 Build law practice in practice areas which are “trending”.
📌 Join chamber of commerce and be active.
Business development is a learning journey for me. I’m trying to figure out how step 1 will lead to step 2.
How does your business development journey look like? What has been your experience building your law practice?
