How will you spend the next 30 days?

How will you spend the next 30 days?

By Nina Kaufman, Esq.

It’s March 18th, 2020. I don’t know about you, but I’ve had a whole range of feelings about this COVID-19 thing. Not unlike Elisabeth Kubler-Ross’s 5 stages of grief. Denying there’s an issue because hey, I’m healthy and not in a high-risk group. Angry at the panic-inducing a**holes who create a run on basic necessities like … toilet paper. (Seriously? Of all things…?). Bargaining, as in I can use my co-working space as long as I engaging in social distancing, right? Sad, hearing about so many small businesses that are already struggling. And accepting that as snarky as I was about this just 1 week ago, I’m no epidemiologist. I don’t know what the future holds. So what DO I know? I know this is out of my hands. I can’t control that a state of emergency has been declared. I can’t control that museums, libraries, sporting arenas, schools, restaurants, and conference centers have shut down, so I can’t visit in person.

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.
