How Attorneys Can Build Real Wealth by Choosing Consistency Over Illusion

 

I pulled up into a plaza of industrial buildings and noticed the parking lot next to my destination address was completely full. In fact, there was a long line of people that came clear on out the front door. I got in line and stood there with probably about 100 other people who were all applying for the same job. Some came from 2+ hours away, and every single one of them was incredibly enthusiastic about working as a janitor for $15.00 an hour. I wondered how with so many people in line I possibly stood a chance of getting the job. I was wearing a pair of khakis and a tie and wondered if I was overdressed.

The line was moving quite slowly; however, after around 45 minutes I snaked my way to a reception desk and was handed a standard employment application. The receptionist told me to go into a room and fill it out. Since I did not have a lot of experience, this was quite easy. I then was told to go to another room and wait. I went into the waiting room and sat there with around 10 other people. Every few minutes, one of us was taken into an “interview room”. I remember wondering to myself at that time, what the company really did. There was only a suite number on the door and there were no signs of any business apart from the interviews that were going on. It was a very unusual set up, and I found myself wondering what the company actually did.

After 20 minutes or so I was taken into the interview room. It was a sparsely furnished office that had what looked like a new cheap leather couch, and some other pieces of furniture that looked more like they belonged in a bachelor’s apartment. Inside the interview room was a guy who looked like he was in his early to mid-20s, who had a big smile on his face. He remained seated at his desk, while on a chair off to the side, was a girl who appeared to be his girlfriend, in tight jeans, smiling and looking pretty bored.

“Hi. I’m Jerry! We filled the janitor job already!” the young man said. “But I have got something for you!”

Jerry started to explain something about selling knives door to door and selling other knickknacks and how I could earn hundreds of dollars a day. I did not really understand it but I agreed to be there the next morning. From what little I understood, there was a “commission” offered.

I had a strange sense of excitement but I was also disappointed walking out of the office. On the one hand I was excited to have landed a job that theoretically could pay hundreds of dollars a day; however, on the other hand, I knew that I had been suckered with an advertisement for a job that really did not exist. The place of business I had visited had only consisted of three small offices, and there was no way that the company could have needed a janitor, let alone a janitor for $15.00 an hour.

This exact type of bait-and-switch happens in the legal profession more than you’d think. A firm advertises opportunity, partnership, growth. But behind the doors, there’s no structure, no mentorship, and no future. You get in and realize you’ve been hired not because they believe in you—but because they needed someone to grind out billable hours. Just like Jerry’s warehouse, many firms thrive on turnover, knowing a new crop of attorneys will walk through the door tomorrow.

The next day I got up for work and proceeded to navigate my Yugo through the rush hour Detroit traffic. I arrived at the office around 25 minutes late because I was not prepared for the sluggish drive. When I got there everyone was hopping into their cars and so forth with a bunch of various merchandise (cheap sets of knives and all sorts of ridiculous knickknacks) to go out and sell. I found Jerry, who shook my hand and told me that I would be partnering up for my first couple of days with another sales guy, Dave. I met Dave, who looked like a farmer, and helped him with a couple of boxes that we put in the back of his pickup truck.

The few of the company’s offices I had seen were somehow all connected to a warehouse that was filled with all sorts of stuff that looked like it had fallen out of a plane from China. There was cheap clothing, small carpets, kitchen utensils, really bad electronics with strange names on them and more. It did not take a brain surgeon, nor a lot of business experience in this case, to figure out that this guy was (1) importing knickknacks from China for next to nothing, (2) putting ads in the paper for janitors paying more than a janitor was worth, (3) attracting guys desperate for a good job like me, and (4) setting guys like me loose on the street with his shoddy merchandise to try and sell it for a commission.

Attorneys end up in similar traps. Many starts at firms that dangle impressive titles, bonuses, or vague promises of partnership—but in reality, the attorney is just one of dozens fighting to make the rain fall. There's no sustainable path. You're sent out with little support, little direction, and a lot of pressure. It’s legal commission work—only instead of knives, you're pushing hours, trying to close clients who don’t even know if they want legal help.

Dave was a farmer, or used to be. He lived with his mother on a sugar beet farm around 90 minutes from the office/warehouse. Something had happened that made that particular line of work no longer good for Dave, who was in his late 20s.

He had been selling these items for a few weeks, and as we got into the car he told me that I had missed “a great morning” and should never arrive at work late again. At the time, in the late 1980s, Japanese management was really in vogue and Jerry led everyone in Japanese-style exercises inside a warehouse each morning, which is what the Japanese companies did with their employees, Dave told me. For 20 minutes or so each morning Jerry would lead a group of 50+ men in various stretches and cheer about the company to get everyone excited about the day ahead. Then he would give them a pep talk and hand out $20 bills as “bonuses” to the people who had done the best with sales the day before.

“Jerry handed out over $200 this morning!” Dave exclaimed.

“This is an incredible opportunity!” Dave produced a brochure that looked like it had been done on a typewriter, which promised earnings of over $100,000 a year if someone excelled at selling products on the street for six months. Dave told me he was one of the top salesmen and would be definitely earning over $100,000 a year within six months. I noticed the brochure had a few typos.

Dave could not stop talking about what a great opportunity this was.

You hear this kind of talk in legal recruiting all the time. Attorneys chase firms based on hearsay and rumors—because someone said a place “was hot” or someone made “partner in six years.” They hear about signing bonuses, exit options, and high compensation—but never stop to ask: Is there any structure here? Is there mentorship? Will I be supported?

He told me that we were going to Downtown Detroit to sell the knives and stuff he had brought along with him that day. I did not ask about the logic of this plan, but within an hour or so we were downtown and walking along a dangerous looking section of Gratiot Avenue. Dave had brought a blanket that looked like his mother had knitted it. He made me take all of our wares out of the truck bed and put them in the front seat, covering them up with the blanket. He told me that he knew other salesmen who had been robbed.

We walked down Gratiot Avenue with our collection of knives, etc., and would stop to talk with people at bus stops, others standing on street corners, and any other people who just happened to be walking down the street. We were working in a really bad neighborhood and everyone we approached seemed amused, and willing to give us a little time of our day. Additionally, we were the only white people. The site of a white farmer with his unique “farmer-like” accent, plus an 18-year-old kid in a tie carrying knives must have looked entertaining.

Detroit has been undergoing a massive collapse for decades. At the time, the street we were walking down had mostly boarded up stores. However, despite all of the boarded-up stores, there was the occasional liquor store, rent to own store, pawn shop, or other shops that seemed like a good prospect. Our one and only sale of the day came in a liquor store.

That was the reality of this “opportunity.” One sale. All day. No structure. No plan. Just a couple of guys hoping to stumble into someone generous enough—or distracted enough—to part with a few dollars.
It’s the same with many law firms today. No training. No business development pipeline. No system. And yet, countless attorneys stay—believing, just like Dave, that they’re lucky to be there.

By the end of my first day of work we had made a grand total of $28 in commissions for our cash sales. Dave and I split the money. After lunch and gas expenses I was not left with very much money for the work I had done, maybe a dollar or two. And I was not even the one who made the sale! When we got back to the office I remember I went in to talk with Jerry. He was sitting on that chintzy couch with his girlfriend, who was smoking cigarettes and looked very happy.

“This job does not make a lot of sense,” I told him.

“Of course it does!” he said beaming with enthusiasm.

“No it does not,” I said. “I made $14.00 today and we went all over Detroit and walked the streets the entire day. It makes no sense.”

“Here, things will be better tomorrow,” Jerry said. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a giant wad of bills that was at least three inches thick. It looked like his take from the day. He handed me a $5 bill. I took the money and walked out of the office.

And that’s the final piece. When you’re desperate to believe a job is “the one,” you’ll overlook every red flag. As legal recruiters, our job isn’t just to get attorneys hired. It’s to guide them away from the Jerrys of the legal world—places that make big promises but leave you with less than what you started with. Not every opportunity is what it appears to be. And sometimes, the right move is walking away—before you waste more time walking the streets of Gratiot Avenue

 

Why a Steady Job Is Often More Valuable Than a Flashy Opportunity

 
I did not go back to the job the next day. I will always be grateful that somehow I got a job delivering pizzas for Domino’s a few days later. That was a job. Each night I would pull up to a house and get paid $1.00 for delivering the pizza—plus minimum wages, plus tips. In addition, I got to eat free pizza all day. Every single day I went to my job delivering pizzas, I made money. I did not have to worry about commissions and if I was going to make the next sale. I always had something to rely on, something steady. I did this job with every ounce of enthusiasm that I had because I valued it. I actually never felt like quitting because compared to the job I had had before, it was the greatest job I could imagine.
 
In many ways, that pizza job offered something far more valuable than the knife-selling hustle ever could: security. Stability. A sense of order. That job wasn’t about chasing sales—it was about showing up and knowing you’d get paid. It was about doing the work and being rewarded fairly for it. And in legal recruiting, this is the kind of opportunity we urge attorneys to recognize and appreciate. A reliable legal job with consistent workflow, predictable compensation, and a dependable team is far more powerful than a risky “big payday” role that depends on politics, commissions, or vague promises of rainmaking potential.
 
There was a huge problem with the job I had been working for Jerry, and it was this: I did not have any repeat work. There was repeat work in the sense that I could have gone out every single day and attempted to sell knives and cheap radios from China. The job was certainly repetitive. But the sort of stuff I was selling was not the stuff that people would buy more than once. The quality was cheap and people would not buy the same junk twice. After all, no one needs more than one set of Ginsu knives. I was selling stuff that could not possibly give me repeat customers or any sort of repeat work. And without any sort of repeat work, a job is useless.
 
This same concept is at the core of long-term legal success: repeat work is everything. The attorneys who survive and thrive in this profession are not the ones who close a one-time deal or win a single trial—they’re the ones who clients come back to. The ones who law firms trust again and again to handle complex matters. The ones who build reputations not just for brilliance, but for consistency.
 
The reason companies fail and people fail is due to the fact they are not getting “repeat work.” If a company is not building good cars then after the car breaks down several times, people will choose a different car for their next one. The failure to build a car people want to buy over and over again is one reason companies like General Motors have failed. If someone does bad work, then he or she will not get any new work or repeat work. If someone offers you a contract rather than a full-time position, this means they are offering you a job without the promise of any repeat work. There are plenty of jobs out there that offer temporary or one-time-job type work, but there are very few jobs that truly offer good repeat work. When it comes to judging the ultimate value of any job, there is nothing more important than the possibility of generating repeat work.

In legal recruiting, we meet attorneys all the time who are dazzled by high hourly rates or contract positions that sound lucrative on paper. But what they’re often missing is the most important question: Is there consistency here? Will this firm or this client continue to need me? Will I grow or just spin my wheels?
 
If the answer is no, walk away. Just like I did from that sales gig. The Domino’s job may not have looked impressive from the outside, but it gave me stability—and that made it invaluable. The same is true in law. The best legal jobs don’t just give you work. They give you a future.

 

The Myth of the High-Paying One-Off

  
One of my very first employees was a relative of mine, who I moved out to Los Angeles from Oklahoma and allowed to live in my house. I paid her $35,000 a year to do various clerical duties for me. It was more than she deserved for such work but her father had been very nice to me when I was young. Her father had died flying a helicopter ambulance and I had always wanted to help her when she got older and graduated from college. Once my business started getting off the ground, I called her and told her that I had a job for her, and offered her the chance to move to Los Angeles.
 
When I started, I was in a very small office (ok, I was in my garage), and I sat right next to the FAX machine. This girl was very attractive and had been a model for local department store newspaper inserts and so forth around the small Midwestern town where she had grown up. After she had been working for me for a few weeks, I started to see transmissions come over the FAX machine every few hours from various modeling agencies. She would rush in a few minutes after the FAX had arrived and grab it off the FAX machine. She then started going on various tryouts for modeling jobs during the day and then started missing at least a couple of days a week while going out on tryouts. She then started to get the occasional modeling job here or there. I was angry about this, but at the same time I thought this woman was young, and probably very excited to be getting this work.
 
Then she asked me for a raise.
 
She told me that she was paid up to $75.00 an hour to do modeling and therefore was “worth more” on the market.
 
“How many hours do you model for?” I asked her.
 
“Usually around one,” she said.
 
“And you need to drive there, drive back and wait around the whole day until they decide to take your picture, right? And this is all for $75.00 for one hour’s worth of work?”
 
“Yes,” she said.
 
“Do they pay your health insurance and could you be doing this job in 20 years? Will they give you work every single day of the week?” I asked.
 
We went back and forth a little bit and she kept saying, “But they pay me $75.00 an hour when I am working and that is at least 5 times what you are paying me!”
 
She became very resentful about the job I had given her and eventually decided that I was not paying her enough. She started creating all sorts of problems, and I eventually had to let her go. She moved out of my house and I have not seen her since. I feel incredibly bad about this. In fact, it is one of the most difficult things I have ever had to do. I remember at the time, I had decided to take a self-improvement class called Dale Carnegie’s How to Win Friends and Influence People, so I could hopefully influence this woman to come to appreciate what I was doing for her. I am still saddened that I had to let her go, because it ended up destroying the relationship. However, the greatest lesson I got out of this was that it is important to always have repeat work, over and above those handsome one-offs.
 
In legal recruiting, we see this play out all the time.
 
Attorneys leave stable, long-term positions with consistent workflow for roles that promise higher hourly rates, more “freedom,” or bigger headline numbers. They chase one-off matters, temporary in-house contracts, or boutique firms offering sky-high bonuses without asking what happens after that one matter closes—or whether there will be more work at all. The mindset is the same: I can make more per hour doing X. But the math only works when the work is there—and stays there.
 
The boss or company that has a job waiting for you there every single day of the week has given you a gift. This is no different than having a large sum of money in the bank. All you need to do is show up to claim the interest on this money.
 
In a law firm, that “interest” is consistent work, billable hours, and a foundation on which to build a career. And yet many attorneys walk away from it in search of “better.” But better is not always more lucrative. Better is predictable. Better is sustainable. Better is waking up each day knowing there’s work to be done—and being valued enough to be given it.
 
In recruiting, we advise attorneys to think long-term. Choose the firm that makes you better—not just richer in the short term. Choose the environment that gives you runway—not just a runway show.

 

Why the Attorneys Who Stick with the Right Job Often End Up the Wealthiest

 
When I was a senior at the University of Chicago, I took an economics class from a very famous economist. If I recall correctly, I had to participate in an auction or something in order to get into the class. I do not remember too many specifics; however, I do remember, one day he lectured the class about his job and what it took for the school to make someone like him a tenured professor. He stated that he made $150,000 a year and that in order for the school to offer someone like him a tenure (a lifetime job), they need to have at least $3,000,000 in endowment, which translates into $3,000,000 earning roughly 5% interest per year. He said that based on the fact that he would have the job for the rest of his life, there was really no difference between him and a guy who has $3,000,000 in the bank. In fact, due to his tenure and the amount of money the school needed to set aside in order to pay him, the economist believed that he was better off than lawyers, doctors, businessmen, and so forth–most of whom never have $3,000,000 in the bank. Based on the way he looked at it, he said, he was a multimillionaire.
 
That lesson has stuck with me more than any theory, model, or supply-demand curve. He was pointing out something fundamental that most professionals miss: consistency is wealth. And in law, we often miss this entirely.
 
What is tenure in a university? Tenure is repeat work and a lifetime’s supply of work. It is almost impossible to take someone’s tenure away in a university once he or she has earned it. Federal judges are appointed for life, and receive salaries for their entire lives. Having secure, repeat work, is no different from tenure. It can make you rich, very rich, if you look at it the same way as the famous economist did at the University of Chicago.
 
In legal recruiting, attorneys often chase big bonuses, signing offers, or promises of higher hourly rates. But what they rarely stop to calculate is the long-term value of a firm that offers stability—of being somewhere where your calendar is full, your clients return, your skills deepen, and your income flows in week after week, year after year. A tenured legal career doesn’t always look glamorous. But the attorney with a steady, secure position—who knows there will always be work to do—is quietly accumulating the equivalent of millions in lifetime earning potential.
 
There is a great quote in Jim Collins’s book, How the Mighty Fall:
 
In researching the final stages of decline, looking at capitulation of once-towering companies, I kept thinking about how Professor Bill Lazier began his course on small business management at the Stanford Graduate School of Business. He’d walk into class and begin cold-calling students.
 
“What’s the central issue in this case?” he’d push.
 
Students who had worked at large companies, consulting firms, and investment banks gave answers like “their strategic choices” or “identifying their value chain” or “developing a brand” or any number of other smart-sounding MBA answers.
 
Unsatisfied by vacuous buzzwords, Lazier would keep pressing, pacing back and forth across the classroom. “No! Think!”
 
Finally, some student would venture forth, “Well, I don’t know if this is what you’re looking for, but they can’t make payroll next week. The company is going to run out of cash.”
 
Lazier would stop pacing, walk over to the blank chalkboard, and write in giant letters (and I mean giant, at least two feet high) one word: CASH.
 
“Never forget,” Lazier would say. “You pay your bills with cash…”
 
While editing this piece I was pondering a stunning news story: “General Motors, the Monumental Symbol of American Corporate Power, Seeks Salvation from the Government….” GM—running out of cash. Even while considering a company that once was the largest corporation in the world, Lazier’s lesson comes through in full force: You pay your bills in cash.
 
The same rule applies to attorneys. Prestige, bonuses, lateral moves—none of it matters if there’s no cash flow. No consistency. No repeat clients. No ongoing pipeline of work. A high offer from a struggling firm is like a modeling gig that pays $75 an hour but comes around twice a month. It may sound impressive, but it won’t make payroll—or pay your mortgage.
 
The attorneys who win in the long run are the ones who recognize this. They don’t chase flash. They don’t pivot firms every six months chasing marginal gains. They look for tenure. They look for firms where work is always waiting. They invest in platforms, not payouts. And over time, they become the legal industry’s equivalent of multimillionaires—not necessarily by title or by hourly rate, but by stability, consistency, and the quiet power of showing up and being needed.

Why Attorneys Must Prioritize Consistent Work Over Big Promises

 
The most important thing for you in your job is to have access to cash as well as, cash that flows. Companies fail because they do not have access to cash. People also fail and flounder because they do not have access to cash. Work that repeats itself means access to cash, which is something you should never take for granted. Having longer-term access to cash can make or break your career and your life.
 
This is as true for law firms as it is for attorneys. When a law firm consistently feeds you quality work, it's not just handing you an assignment—it's handing you stability. And stability in law, just like in business or life, is a form of wealth. It gives you leverage. It gives you options. It gives you peace of mind.
 
You cannot get a mortgage in most cases unless you can prove that you have access to work that repeats itself. Banks do not want to take the risk that you will not be able to pay them over the long term. They will generally only give you a mortgage these days when you prove you have access to steady cash flow. Work that repeats itself is liberating because it gives you more options and control over your life and the things you can do. Regardless of whether you are working for Domino’s Pizza, or some other big corporation, you need to find work that repeats itself.
 
In legal recruiting, we frequently encounter attorneys tempted by the allure of contract roles, consulting gigs, or “freedom-based” positions that promise more control but come with sporadic income. These roles may sound appealing—but if they don't offer repeat work, they often lead to financial insecurity, stalled growth, and long-term career instability. Many of these attorneys can't qualify for loans, can't make long-term plans, and find themselves caught in a constant scramble for their next paycheck. Contrast that with the attorney at a mid-level law firm who may not be making headlines but is clocking in consistent hours, growing a client base, and collecting a reliable paycheck month after month. That attorney has power—and more wealth than they realize.
 
Going for the quick buck can often be at the expense of your long-term career. I remember during the “Dot Com” explosion of 1999 and 2000, many people left law firms for what they thought were going to be jobs of limitless opportunities. Many of these jobs for Internet startups had very little salaries with all sorts of stock options and so forth, which ultimately turned out to be worthless. When these people tried to go back to the law firms most of them were not hired again. Many of them then spent years meandering around from job to job, never finding a steady income—certainly not anything as good as the jobs they had left inside of law firms. Thousands of people also left banks and other corporations to take jobs and work that did not repeat itself.
 
This story has played out again and again in legal markets. Attorneys leave stable positions for “unicorn” opportunities that evaporate in months. They give up something foundational—daily workflow, established teams, predictable income—for something that looks like success but has no structure beneath it. And when they try to return to the structure they once had, they often find that the opportunity has passed them by. Law firms don’t just want talent—they want reliability. And attorneys who chase unstable paths often struggle to prove they still have it.
 
There are always going to be numerous temptations out there for various types of jobs and work that does not repeat itself. Work that does not repeat itself, however, is the most dangerous sort of work there is, because there is no long-term fulfillment in it. Seek and cherish work that does repeat itself. Even a much lower salary and work that does not on the surface look appealing can be a very worthwhile job if it offers work that repeats itself.
 
As a legal recruiter, I tell attorneys this all the time: The best job is the one that keeps showing up for you, every single day. That is how you build a future. That is how you accumulate wealth. That is how you find freedom—not from chaos or chasing the market, but from knowing that your career has a steady heartbeat. Work that repeats is the quietest kind of success—and the most powerful.

 

Conclusion

 
In the end, repeat work is far more valuable than any one-off opportunity, no matter how well-paid it appears on the surface. Just as companies thrive through consistent revenue, careers are built on steady, ongoing work. It’s this consistency that grants you freedom, stability, and long-term growth. Even roles that seem modest at first glance can become the foundation of a successful, fulfilling legal career—so long as they offer the one thing that truly matters: work that keeps coming.
