Doctor Cindy Zafis - on the winding road to success
By LOUISE FLODIN, Entrepreneurial Editor
"I went to college during the computer training and information years. I was fascinated by how computers could assist research and the information on line was awe inspiring. Being shy and reserved the prospect of working with a machine that didn’t give me attitude or drama had an allure I wanted in my life. Another major draw for me was I could work anytime of the day or night. My computer didn’t care if my hair was brushed or I was impeccably dressed.

Solo Sez Practitioners Are Not Alone
By SCOTT R. FORCINO, Esq., Legal Editor

ABA Solo Center, however, gives these solos a voice to each other and forms a valuable network and professional resource. This site is a Listserv and is free and is available through the ABA (American Bar Association). Attorneys can either read the online discussions and not publicly participate or may respond to another solosez member with a private email. The one rule of participation states that one must send a message introducing themself to the group prior to posting a message to the group.

Good strategic partners each benefit from the alliance, moving both in the direction of greater growth and profits. Be sure that both clarify WIIFM, what’s in it for me.
