I was surfing the Twitter-sphere a couple of days ago when I came across a quote from�Amazon.com�founder Jeff Bezos. �It simply said, �If you never want to be criticized, for goodness� sake don�t do anything new.� �Inspirational? �Maybe. �Poetic? �Not a bit. �Knock you out of your chair blunt? �ABSOLUTELY. �The quote from Mr. Bezos was posted on Twitter by none other than�Donald Trump. �(Yes, I follow Mr. Trump on Twitter & have read every book he has written).
In many professions � the legal profession included � maintaining the status quo is recommended. �In my opinion, part of the reason for such is a lot of law firms and other businesses operate almost like fraternities and sororities in college. �There is the �earn your keep/pay your dues� mentality that almost entirely chokes the thoughts of many in the organization. �Why choke such voices? �I have learned more from non-high school graduates than I have from some of the most academically-acclaimed people in America. �(KEY POINT = LISTEN!!)
About eight months ago, I did something new. �I started a solo personal injury law firm (�small business� for short). �There was criticism. ��Where will you get your clients? �From hanging out in the emergency room?� ��Have you even looked at how bad the economy is?� ��I hope you know how to starve.� �Now, I am not on the same level with Bezos or Trump, but they both heard the same kinds of criticism. �On Bezos, �Wait, you are going to start a book store that you cannot visit?� �For Trump, �You are going to turn that old ugly brick building into an even more ugly building made out of glass?�
The rest is history for Bezos and Trump. �My goal is to encourage anyone reading�this�to go ahead and take that leap into something new. �I can tell you��..yes, it is scary!! �Yes, there will be critics. �However, in the end, you will be thankful and excited that you made the move.
