In this episode, Steve Fretzin, Steve Seckler, Stuart Baum, Sharon Ve, and Chuki Obiyo discuss:

• Finding your why and narrowing your niche. 
• Building good relationships. 
• Doing what you like to do to develop business. 
• How much time you should spend on your business development. 

Key Takeaways:

• Understanding why you don’t like to do something can help you to find new avenues of business development and relationship building.
• Challenge yourself in new ways and you will unlock potential you didn’t know that you had. 
• Practice more self-compassion. Attorneys are inundated with expectations from others. There needs to be a time commitment to understand what one is passionate about and can commit to. 
• Just being the best lawyer does not mean you are automatically the best business developer. 

"If you don’t have a reason to grow your own practice, you will not get away from your desk to do the things you need to do." —  Stuart Baum
