Practical Success

Developing the Next Generation of Rainmakers Practical Success When I was a young lawyer I subscribed to two publications I found very valuable. The first was “Success” magazine and the second was “The Practical Lawyer.” I subscribed to “Success” because I wanted to gain insights from successful people and I subscribed to “The Practical Lawyer” because I wanted practical ideas I could implement to become more successful. Fast forward to 2009. I am now writing a Practical Success column for “The Practical Lawyer” and I am back subscribing to “Success.” If you want ideas you can actually implement, I urge you to consider subscribing to both publications. This morning I was reading “Each Success is the Beginning of the Next One,” an article in “Success” by Donald Trump. The subheading of the article is “Confront your fears and achieve more.” I like the Ralph Waldo Emerson quote in the article: “What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.” Donald Trump ends the article with these questions I believe you would find valuable answering:   I practiced law for 37 years developing a national construction law practice representing some of the top highway and transportation construction contractors in the US.
