When I graduated law school...
...I knew I wanted to do something different. For me, I've always known that I'm at my best when I know why I'm getting up in the morning and I can personally connect with the people I'm working with.
My dad opened his independant pediatric practice in 1989, two years after I was born, so I've seen the joys and hardships of running your own business. However, the business environment now is very different than it was in 1989, especially in the area of health care. I knew that was my niche: helping medical practices and business deal with their legal issues BEFORE they become problems and rack up huge hourly billing charges.
