Success in the legal field does not follow a prescribed path. To find it, you must be willing to deviate from what you perceive as the standard path.
Using the framework of children’s Choose Your Own Adventure gamebooks, WordRake’s Vice President of Strategy & Business Development, Ivy B. Grey discusses charting her own path in law and legal technology. “Choose Your Own Adventure: Decisions, Pivots, and Possibilities” was Grey’s contribution to 50 Lessons for Women Lawyers – From Women Lawyers.
In this lesson, Grey begins her story with a quote from Aubrey de Grey, “Don’t cling to a mistake just because you spent a lot of time making it.” From there she considers:
- Do long hours, “good work,” and firm service guarantee success?
- Could straying from the expected path lead to something better?
- What happens if you release yourself from the fear of being different?
It’s no spoiler to reveal that Grey found her success through writing—and relied on WordRake to get it right. Use your newfound freedom and confidence to write influential pieces (and add in WordRake) and you’ll be unstoppable. For a free 7-day trial of WordRake, click here.
