Getting Support When Times Are Good with Gordon VanderLeek

If you’re a longtime listener of the show, you’ll understand the importance of rest and the bigger-picture impact prioritizing rest can have on your business. However, on top of all the other concerns you might have about being absent, actually taking time away from your practice feels challenging and selfish, even if you know a lot of good can come from it.

This week, Melissa is sitting down with founder and managing lawyer of VanderLeek Law, Gordon VanderLeek. VanderLeek Law is focused on estate planning, estate administration, and trust planning that has a growing focus and specialization in planning for families that have children with long-term disabilities, making it one of the most unique and leading firms in Canada.

Listen in to hear how Gordon set up his firm for success amidst one of his most challenging business years in 2022. Gordon and Melissa are discussing the ups and downs of business, why getting support when times are good is vital, and how Gordon is experimenting with planning for and prioritizing rest.
