DOING THE WORK

Doing stuff to put your law firm ahead and on the path to international domination is not that hard because the information is out there, the models to adapt from are out there and your current disappointing reality cannot be traduced.
So clearly the actual doing of the 'it' is the problem, the courage to put your hand to the plough and navigate the inner dragons/battles that stand in the way of the law firm.

Of course it helps and is important to keep yourself abreast of current knowledge and important happenings in legal and other parts of the economy BUT at the end of it all, you just have to do the work.
You have to go for the meetings, accept your current mediocrity/failures, accept that you need to change direction and set up that joint venture with Dacheng in China or dump that client.

It is just like smoking, losing weight or going on a date: the how to information is available almost in overload but it only counts if you actually DO what the programme says.

Dominique Strauss Kahn (former head of IMF and one-time French Presidential candidate) once said that if we do not implement the solution, it is as if we did nothing.
Advice matters only if you take the action. If you are sick, you must take your pills.
