Law practice and small firm guru, Carolyn Elefant, republished a couple of articles I think everyone should review. Carolyn does such a fantastic job at reminding us that there's a dignity in being a solo practitioner, and these articles continue that theme.
The first is an article titled, Solos Know Strategies Associates Need to Learn (the post/link at Myshingle.com is broken). This post dishes some especially encouraging advice to BigLaw associates and solos on the practice of law. Carolyn notes some of the common misconceptions about solo practice (it's not just about wills and trusts, and landlord-tenant disputes), and gives meaningful advice to counter these misconceptions.
The second article, Don't Neglect Your Reputation When Leaving A Firm (broken link), gives some more provocative advice for handling and maintaining previous relationships. As you'll learn in the solo practice field, relationships are essential to success in this business.
I think you'll find great tips in these articles to build your practice. Also, if you haven't already (I don't get a "kick back"), I suggest you purchase a copy of Carolyn's book, Solo By Choice (click here to purchase from Amazon). This is hands-down, one of the most useful books for solos.
