It is interesting how an idea can take on a life of its own; the appeal of this program has grown quicker than I had anticipated. Strangely enough, the actual mechanics of the business model – the professional relationships formed at Bay State Legal Services amongst otherwise-solo-practitioners – are, I think, more revolutionary. But, this could simply be an example of how the parent [of an idea] has certain expectations for which child will be more successful.
For example, at the moment, I am very impressed that my 16-year-old son remembers to put his pants on in the morning before he goes to school; while my daughter is almost expected to get honors grades. Here I expect that she will be more successful than my son (from an earnings potential). Yet, I may be proven completely wrong 15 years down the road.
With Bay State Legal, I had thought that the incubation program of other solo practitioners would have been the story to tell. Nevertheless, the story that has had more appeal is to our more common concerns – the story of simple time constraint that we all experience (and a new way to deal with it).
