This CLE course walks you through what you need to consider before making the decision to go solo then takes you through the preparation before making the jump, and sketches out what you need to survive the first year.

This course first focuses on necessary considerations before you decide to take the jump, whether or not you have the ability, knowledge and personality traits to go it alone. The presenter will then discuss what it means to get your ducks in a row once you have decided to take the jump focusing on strategies to maximize streams of work and minimize costly advertising. The last half of this lecture goes from the broad ideas involved in crafting and establishing the philosophy of your practice and then gets into the nuts and bolts of the infrastructure necessary to run a small practice.
