ACTION PLAN AND GOAL FOR THE LEGAL CAREER AND ITS IMPORTANCE

LEGAL CAREER

Enough of ALMOST working! To succeed in advocacy for an entire year, you need to set goals and an action plan - as soon as possible! Action plans and goals are essential for a lawyer's career and for any career and company that seeks success. However, for most lawyers, the action plan and goals never get off the ground or are just listed somewhere.

After All, What Is An Action Plan?

Action plans and goals have to do with results. There is nothing to be achieved when you have neither plans nor goals - just ideas and desires. That is why so many lawyers, including our clients, complain about unrealized achievements.

In other words, for your career as a lawyer to have lasting success and positive results on an ongoing basis, you need to set goals to achieve, deadlines to meet, and execute concrete actions.

However, in general, lawyers are not taught to structure action plans or to put effective attitudes into practice. Therefore, dreams rarely come off paper as expected.

Why Adopt Plans In Your Legal Career?

Of all the priorities surrounding his routine, his career management ends up being postponed several times -" tomorrow I star" or" next month I do i."

One of the questions for which the most common answer is"n" is the following: did you achieve the goals you set yourself for last year? Or even" fulfilled the dreams you have for yourself."

Because ideas and dreams are not translated into clear objectives and goals, with deadlines and actions to be carried out, the chances of something concrete happening are reduced.

Without plans, there are no objective paths to follow or effective actions to be taken. However, when you roll up your sleeves and commit to plans and goals, the chances of obtaining continuous achievements and positive results increase. Only then, by seeing and defining paths, will you be able to record more achievements.

The Importance Of Strategic Planning

The first step in taking action and recording achievements in personal life and career is to adopt a proactive attitude. That is, it is to define what you want to achieve, when, and why. You have to take responsibility for your life and career and not wait for fate to work in your favor indefinitely, without direction.

Because it is the attitudes and actions that entrepreneurial lawyers define for their own life and career that will define what achievements will be obtained. If you haven't achieved the results you want for your life so far and are frustrated, think that only you can change your future.

Therefore, the second step is to define a planning or action plan. He is a fundamental instrument for the career of a lawyer to be conducted as an enterprise. And every enterprise needs planning.

We, lawyers, are professional entrepreneurs of ourselves. In other words, we are the inputs and raw materials of our work, and we need to manage the operation of our enterprise as the management of a company should be.

GUIDING QUESTIONS FOR A SUCCESSFUL CAREER

As I explained earlier, action plans and goals are essential in any career of any lawyer and any career and company that seeks concrete results. And for a career as a lawyer to have lasting success and positive results continuously, there are some guiding questions:

• What do you want to change in your life or career?
• Which results are not good and should be improved?
• What stories do you tell to justify or get rid of the responsibility for these results?

From the answers given to these questions, it is possible to change their attitudes and behaviors. These guiding questions are basic for structuring personal or professional strategic planning.

SELF-KNOWLEDGE AND SELF-MANAGEMENT IN ADVOCACY

Lawyers must behave as managers of their careers. For this, it is necessary to invest in self-knowledge and especially in the ability of self-management.

Professionals who still do not apply this perspective - an entrepreneur (lawyer) - are more likely to register a career of frustrations and unsatisfactory results.

As with a poorly managed company or silent management, the consequence of the undertaking is bankruptcy or continuous failure.

The same is true of your life. So, the more your career is managed (self-management) effectively and responsibly in all your departments, the better the results will be. They are the skills of a lawyer of excellence.

TAKING DREAMS FROM PAPER

To start managing your life well, you need to make a habit of having personal strategic planning. Personal strategic planning is a personal empowerment tool for places you in charge of your life and career.

It serves to give direction to actions and point out a path to achieve goals. Besides, it helps outline actions to be developed in the short, medium, and long term.

Personal strategic planning has the main role in helping you to have a systemic view of life. It is a means of reflection on oneself, causing a search for greater self-knowledge.

Thus, the action plan also helps to reflect on the values, talents, and qualities to be leveraged to build your successful life.
