On July 6, 2006 I, along with my good friend and colleague Jay Jump of Kent, WA presented a free teleseminar to our fellow consumer bankruptcy lawyers. We didn’t have much of a plan at the time, and figured we’d just do something fun for everyone; we’d just come off a heady panel discussion with Kurt O’Keefe and Alan Ramos at the NACBA convention in New Orleans, and I guess we just wanted to keep the party going.
I registered the domain name www.BKPracticePro.com for the occasion, figuring it had a nice hook to it. The thinking was to do a teleseminar and see what happened.
What happened was a lot of fun. Then we both went back to work. That is, until I got bored on August 19, 2006 and published my first blog post dealing with Windows XP shortcuts. It was all uphill from there, as the site morphed into what you see before you – a full-fledged business built around a blog dealing with online legal marketing, technology and managing a law firm.
Each one of those first posts were mere baby steps towards the current incarnation of this blog, done with tremendous hesitation and no small amount of trepidation. What if I got it wrong? What if I failed?
There were, however, a few things that gave me no small amount of freedom. A freedom, I realize now, that is bestowed upon all of us who begin a law firm blog.
