How To Be A Successful Corporate Lawyer AND Entrepreneur At The Same Time | Akbar Ali

Can you be successful as a lawyer AND an entrepreneur at the same time?

Both of these are challenging individually, but how about when you combine them?

 

My guest today on the Minotaur's Maze podcast is corporate lawyer, entrepreneur and Founder of law firm Ali Legal: Akbar Ali.

 

The conversation starts with a reminder of what the metaphor of the Minotaur in a maze is: a representation of internal and external fears and challenges in the maze of life.

 

Akbar shares his biggest fear as an entrepreneur, which is balancing the multiple ideas and opportunities that come his way. He discusses the importance of focus and overcoming the temptation to pursue new ventures.

 

Akbar also shares his journey into the legal profession, including his experience as a business owner and the challenges of running a law firm. The conversation touches on the topic of prejudice and diversity in the legal industry.

 

In this conversation, Akbar discusses the importance of focus and specialisation in business. He shares his experience of trying to diversify his business ventures and realising that spreading himself too thin was detrimental to his success.

 

He emphasises the need to prioritise attention and narrow focus in order to achieve significant results. Akbar also highlights the importance of understanding one's needs and goals in order to make informed decisions about business ownership.

 

He encourages individuals to have honest conversations with themselves and seek fulfilment in their chosen path, whether it be entrepreneurship or a professional career.
