Especially the end part about succeeding beyond your wildest dreams. That little nugget will help me sleep tonight. I second what previous posters have mentioned. Even though this economy bites, I see great opportunity. My husband and I hung our shingle after graduating in May 2008 and it has been one heck of wild ride. We live and breath our firm, and we haven't got our first client yet. (It's been one month). I'm glad I found your blog. Great post! Especially the end part about succeeding beyond your wildest dreams. That little nugget will help me sleep tonight.

The economy is a little nerve-wracking at the moment, but I had to endure tougher times. As a result, my solo is thriving.

Great comments. My little solo practice continues to see incredible growth as well. We are witnessing history, folks. People are yearning for value and personal attention. This is evident all around us - look at all the Big Box stores closing. Solos and other small businesses can weather this storm. Although solo life is not easy, I consider myself very lucky right now. Great post. Great comments. My little solo practice continues to see incredible growth as well.

I began building my own client base while with my previous firm and went out on my own in July. While the economy is frightening, it is very reassuring to see the numbers every day and know that I control overhead costs. My flexibility to add and promote new practice areas as the market forces dictate make me much more nimble than bigger practices. The responsibility of being a true solo is immense but much more energizing than being an employee. All in all, couldn't be happier.
