I've never been much of a risk taker, prefering the comfort and security of a steady pay check to the thrill and unknown of venturing out on my own. But, at the end of the day, that gets you no where except working at the whim and will of an employer. Perhaps it is time to start out on my own? An interesting opportunity came up and I'm grappling with myself as to whether or not to grasp it and see where it leads. It would mean I'd be practicing law in an area I know nothing, nothing, about with little to no oversight/backup or whom to go to should questions arise. But, it also means I have a chance to develope my own practice with a steady, guaranteed, client to start.
Should I take the leap? Play it safe and keep looking? Try to do both?

it is always tough to make that call. we all like stability and "no change". It is safe and comfortable.
ReplyDeleteBut as someone wise once said, "Nobody ever got rich working for somebody else".
I have always been "risk averse" but that's me. I have a lot of respect for those who have the kahonas to do something on thier own.
ReplyDeleteSeeing as you'd have a steady client to start, that definitely mitigates some of the risk...enough to make me say "go for it!"
