Sure, the other parts – the fancy appeals, the subtle motions are nice, but they don’t get you anywhere without the engine. A weak engine means you’re not going to get very far, and substantial justice will be stuck in the parking lot.

Sure, getting paid is important; it’s how we afford our ridiculously expensive coffee and resources’ bills! But nothing beats the magical feeling of completing a complex task with nothing but your own grit and honesty.

Cope by focusing on what you can control: prepare meticulously, follow up proactively, and use the time to learn and network. For clients, transparency is key. From day one, set realistic expectations about delays. When a case is postponed, explain why clearly and without jargon, showing empathy for their frustration. Communicate regularly, even with no news, and outline any limited next steps. By doing so, you build trust and manage their expectations effectively, turning a difficult situation into an opportunity to showcase your professionalism and dedication.
