Leaving a steady, high-paying job at a successful law firm to strike out on your own may seem like a risky decision. But that’s exactly what Mark Bratt did. One year later, The Bratt Law Firm is making over a million dollars, and his work-life balance is better than ever before.
Mark has had an impressive career, winning over $150 million for his clients, being named a National Trial Lawyers Top 100 Trial Lawyer, and being nominated for the Los Angeles Trial Lawyer of the Year award. The Bratt Law Firm has recovered settlements of over $27 million in its first year, and this is just the beginning.
This week, Mark sits down with us to talk about why he left his job at a large law firm and how he’s found such success in his first year of sole proprietorship. We dig into the importance of work-life balance, the power of honesty and integrity, and how to push past fear and create a life you love.
Key takeaways:
Listen to your inner voice. Making change is scary, but you have to listen to your inner voice, not just the voice of fear.
Be honest and vulnerable. If you aren’t being honest and transparent with your family, your friends, your clients, and yourself, you’re going to lose.
Build a balanced life. Success in your career is wonderful, but it can’t come at the cost of happiness in your personal life. You have to build a life that allows you to meet both of those needs.
