He was one of the highest billers in his firm. He was known for his legal and technical proficiency. He got stellar associate reviews. Yet he was told he wouldn't be promoted to partnership 9 years into his career (ever). Why? How can that possibly happen? What did he do?
Listen to today's episode with my client and friend, Keith Rawlins, to learn:
>>> Why partnership isn't just about how much you bill (or even how profitable you've been for your law firm). 
>>> What it takes to make partner (and then, equity partner) in a law firm. [Hint: mindset is key]. 
>>> How he transformed himself and his practice, making equity partner in a perfect-fit law firm 5 years later.
This one is a not-to-be-missed episode.

→ Make smarter business and career decisions
→ Set boundaries that stick
→ Define success on your terms
