By taking the time to diligently prepare, one can anticipate challenges, gather necessary information, and develop a solid foundation for success. 

"A key to that success is preparation... do everything you have to do. Don't put it off till tomorrow because you don't know what's coming tomorrow. Get it done. Get it done now and then be creative in what you do," emphasizes Dan Callahan on Episode 114 of You Are a Lawyer.


As Callahan emphasizes, it is crucial to tackle tasks promptly and not procrastinate, as tomorrow's uncertainties may hinder progress.
