I just found this blog by following links and I’m not in the business – just a happy amateur interested in improving my skills.

The “business is for everyone” – I wish that more people realised that.
For example, an actor is definitely his own business – it’s not all just looking pretty on stage or screen.

And I wish I had learned more in school about setting goals and running my own life.

@ JD – The best bet is yourself – Yessir, you said it. Everything else is going to come and go in life, but the one sure thing you have is you.

@ Tony – Here in Canada, things are a little different with the legal system (and even more so in Quebec), so I can’t say I’ve ever had a bad experience – and I definitely plan to make the experience for people, lawyers and others, better for all.

@ Buzzlair – I’m aiming for the Midas touch!

@ BizLogos – You betcha!

@ Lisa – That’s my hope and I believe Solo Practice’s hope as well. Here’s to expansion and growth! As for the values and purpose work, I know very well that you see people wondering what the heck they’re doing in life – I’m glad to know you’re there to help them out.

@ Alex – If by tenure you mean lifelong riches, great fame and a tasty retirement fund… Well, here’s to hoping, eh?

@ Amy – I think everyone needs a little James in their life. Mmhm.

@ Gerry – Oh, very cool to meet you, and I’m sure we’ll be nicely complimenting each other in our courses – me with text, you with video… the legal world won’t know what hit it!

That’s awesome, my friend. I know a lot of lawyers. They could use a James like you.

Woot woot! Prof Chartrand! Is this the type of University you can get tenure at? Now that would be sweet…

Professor James, this is so fabulous. I can see it leading to doctors and healthcare practitioners and real estate profs too. I predict you're going to be very busy. We had a group of lawyers in our workshop recently. All in their 40s and 50s, these people were struggling not only in their businesses, but struggling to know themselves. Wouldn't it be lovely if a standard college education included a little values discovery and purpose work? Then maybe they wouldn't land in their 40s and 50s completely rudderless.
