Prepare to Win by Cordell Parvin Book Summary

Prepare to Win: A Lawyer's Guide to Rainmaking, Career Success and Life Fulfillment expands on the principles in Say Ciao to Chow Mein: Conquering Career Burnout and Rising Star: The Making of a Rainmaker in a non-fiction setting.  Prepare to Win is in workbook format so that the reader can immediately implement successful rainmaking, career development and life fulfillment skills. 

You can be a rainmaker. How?

In Prepare to Win, Cordell Parvin teaches young lawyers in small and large firms how to become rainmakers by taking responsibility for their careers. Often, lawyers are so overwhelmed with the pressures to meet billable hour quotas that they are as frazzled as Lucy and Ethel at the chocolate factory. The famous redhead and her landlord neighbor lasted less than a day under their high-stress work conditions. Many lawyers leave their firms—or the law profession— as soon as they pay off their student loans. Prepare to Win endeavors to reverse this unfortunate trend by teaching lawyers how to become the architects of their careers, and it gives them a blueprint to successful achievement of their aspirations.
"Cordell Parvin has written Prepare to Win to share the experience that has made him one of the most successful construction lawyers and sought-after client development coaches and mentors in the country. Mr. Parvin teaches what he has practiced for thirty-five years:

• Focused goals are critical to a lawyer’s success;
• Goals are more easily achieved when they align with passion, purpose and core values;
• Provide value to a client, and the money will follow; and
• Emotional intelligence is more important than grades and exam scores in predicting success.

Prepare to Win is your guide to becoming a rainmaker, having a successful career, and having a fulfilling life. It is written as a workbook. As you answer the questions, you will learn to define your purpose and priorities. Go ahead—Prepare to Win"
