Significant Career Lesson From A Founder And Business Attorney At Anasa Law Firm PC
Liku shares that the most significant lesson learned is the importance of faith in God, describing God as a "best friend," "confidant," and "business partner" to depend on, especially during challenging times like leaving a law job while pregnant to start a practice. Developing a personal relationship with God, outside societal expectations, provides a "stronghold" to remain grounded and confident as both the business and the individual grow.

What's one lesson you've learned that has proven significant in your career?
The biggest lesson I've learned that has proven significant in my career is God. I can't do anything without God; my faith in God. God is my best friend, my confidant, and my business partner.
Being able to have something to fall back on, something not of this world, and to root your faith in is very powerful. Realizing this was huge for me, and it didn't really come into fruition until business ownership happened.
I grew up Catholic and had a very ceremonial relationship with God, doing most of the things I was supposed to do. But truly developing my own relationship and friendship outside of what society dictates as good or bad has been a game-changer.
This has been significant for me as a mother as well. I was pregnant when I left my law job at a firm and started my own practice. With all of this change, having something to fall back on and to root your faith and confidence in is crucial.
At the end of the day, if you don't believe you can do it, you can't. You have to have a stronghold to keep you grounded and firm. For me, that has been God, and it continues to be God. As I grow and my business grows, my relationship with God grows. That is non-negotiable.
