Jennifer Gilk of Gilk Legacy Law, PLLC in Redwood Falls, Minnesota, took the leap of her life. She started her own private estate planning and property planning law practice in January, 2016. She left a 22-year law partnership.
Where did Jennifer develop a strong work ethic filled with daily routines, physical labor, imagination, teamwork, leadership, intellectual curiosity, and fond childhood memories? Growing up on a 300-acre dairy farm in Tyler, Minnesota, of course! At what age did she begin having significant responsibilities with life or death implications? How did that inform her life perspective?
Her life journey is an intriguing one. This first of two mentoring sessions underscores the importance in becoming an author of your own story. Jennifer reflects on her childhood upbringing with great detail, insightfulness, and with immense candor and charm.Mentoring Tips: Uncover more of your true, authentic self.

Discover something new about your life story answering a question or two each day this week.
