Jeremy Goldstein, an attorney who specializes in corporate governance, acquisitions and mergers, recently sat down with Inspiery. As part of that conversation, Goldstein discussed his career, passions, and experiences as an attorney in an interesting and exciting area of growth.
In the interview, Goldstein said that one of the things that set him apart from other lawyers was his information approach. This allows him to build real relationships with his clients and ultimatly serve them better. For Goldstein, this was easy, as it allowed him to bring the characteristics of his personal life to his professional one. Goldstein has said that he believes this approach is responsible for generating the success he has experienced in his career.
That approach has helped to inform Goldstein’s successes and on the job satisfaction. When asked about a satisfying time in his career, Goldstein didn’t cite a big deal closed or a huge client win. Instead, he discussed his work as a member of the Board of Directors of the Fountain House Charity. As part of that work, Goldstein has said that he found new professional and personal successes and had a variety of experienced that helped him grow as a lawyer.
Goldstein’s view of financial success has also informed his decision making. Rather than concentrate on short and long term profits, Goldstein has made consistent efforts to plan for the long term and meet career goals. This has allowed him to appropriately position his career for success, rather than simply make as much money as humanly possible.
Such a perspective has helped to keep Goldstein motivated and focused, particularly when he was first starting out and had to overcome serious self-doubt in order to keep going. It has also helped Goldstein attract the right clientele, as he has worked only with the types of clients he wants to obtain. This, in turn, has helped to fuel the acquisition of similar, additional clients.
