I saw ways that I could make a significant contribution by sharing what I’ve learned. I decided to refocus my legal practice on counseling and helping start-up companies avoid liability and protect their intellectual property. To share some of what I know, I started a blog, IP Law for Startups, where I teach basic lessons on trade secrets, trademarks, copyrights, and patents and give tips for avoiding the biggest blunders that destroy the value of intellectual assets. Few start-up companies, especially women-owned companies that rarely get venture capital funding, can afford the expensive hourly rates of a large law firm to the get the critical information they need. I feel deeply rewarded when I help a company create a strategy that protects the value of their company and supports their business dreams. Further, I had a dream to help young women see their career possibilities. In partnership with my sister, Julie Simmons, I created lookilulu.com, a website where women share their insights, career paths, and ways they have integrated motherhood with their professional pursuits. When my sister and I were growing up on a farm, we had a hard time seeing that women could have rewarding careers. With Lookilulu® we want to help young women see what we couldn’t see: that dreams are not linear—they take many twists and unexpected turns. As I’ve learned the hard way, dreams change and shift as life happens. I’ve learned the value of continuing to dream new dreams after other dreams are derailed. I’m sure I’ll have many more dreams in my future. I’ve learned to be open to new and unexpected opportunities. By way of postscript, Jill writes, “I didn’t grow up planning to be lawyer. As a girl growing up in a small rural town, I was afraid to dream. I loved science, but rather than pursuing medical school, I opted for low-paying laboratory jobs, planning to quit when I had children. But then I couldn’t have children. As I awakened to the possibility that dreaming was an inalienable right, even for me, I started law school when I was thirty; intellectual property combines my love of law and science.” As a young girl, Jill’s rightsizing involved mustering the courage to expand her dreams, to dream outside of her box. Once she had children, she again transformed her dreams. In many ways her dreams are bigger and aim to help more people than before the twists and turns in her life’s path.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Whitney Johnson" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/whitney-johnson/revitalized-and-healthy-i-started-dreaming-new-dreams-i-saw-ways-that/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/7b2/whitney-johnson-37230_business_revitalized-and-healthy-i-started-dreami_261446.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/7b2/whitney-johnson-37230_business_revitalized-and-healthy-i-started-dreami_261446.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/7b2/whitney-johnson-37230_business_revitalized-and-healthy-i-started-dreami_261446.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Revitalized and healthy, I started dreaming new dreams.
