Rewarding Bad Bahavior

Rewarding Bad Bahavior

By Nina Kaufman, Esq.

“If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” is the attitude many entrepreneurs bring to their business partnerships.  If you’re turning a profit, who cares if it’s done by treating your partner badly, or by your sacrificing weekend after weekend to churn out the work? You should. As Alexander Stein points out in his Fortune Small Business article, “Making Your Partnership Work,” you could be doing even better if you and your partner(s) stopped bickering like the couples on Tool Academy.  Stopped expending prodigious amounts of energy “settling scores, avoiding responsibility, and managing emotional flare-ups,” as Stein puts it.  What a wonderful world that would be, eh?

Flying solo doesn’t have to mean going it alone.

I’m Nina Kaufman.

I know first-hand that running a knowledge-based service business has unique challenges. It’s so much easier when you have an advocate in your corner. Over the past 25 years, I’ve worked with thousands of New York business professionals who want a legal advisor to guide and support them as they navigate the business world.

With wide-ranging experience as a business attorney, strategist, and media authority, I bring the added power of a business lens to the legal issues my clients are facing.

And because I’ve been a business owner myself, I’ve lived through the soaring highs and devastating lows – like when my first law firm failed. So I understand what’s involved to serve great clients, detect business risks early and build a true legacy.

I can’t get those 12 years back. That’s why I have made it my mission to ensure that business professionals like you can become wise and discerning leaders, build a solid business, and live your best life.
