The Law Entrepreneur

Kathryn Burmeister served in quite a few law firms before going to law school, then dabbled in a  few more after graduating. Still, she ultimately decided to forego the big firm route to start her own practice — and the reason may surprise you. She shares everything that led her to where she is today and how that experience led her to write a book, “Overcoming Addiction to the Status Quo,” all about learning which things will make you happy instead of getting caught up in a comparison trap.Resources:kathrynfburmeister.comLinktree: linktr.ee/kfburmeisterlinkedin.com/in/kfburmeisterRead: “Overcoming Addiction to the Status Quo”Join Lawyer Club FREE, where lawyers and law firm owners come to reclaim control of their firms and their lives!
