From 1 to 150: Scale up your business with employees

From 1 to 150: Scale up your business with employees

By Nina Kaufman, Esq.

The dining room was a sea of Post-It® notes. All over the table. They flowed out into the foyer, onto the cabinets, into the kitchen. Such was the organizational state of Molly Mahoney Matthews’ newly-launched PR business. When Molly’s sister, Sharon, stopped by for a visit and saw the torrent of little yellow squares threatening to engulf Molly and her home, Sharon said, “Oh no you don’t. You can’t live this way. Get rid of this. You need an assistant. Now. ” That was Molly’s first lesson about scale. About getting the weight of her business off her lonely shoulders. About getting the help she needed to balance, focus, and breathe. So Molly hired. And then she hired again. And again. Ultimately growing her staff from 1 … to 150. How’d she do it? Listen in as Molly and I talk about: How she went from being solo working from home, to 150 and $20M in revenues When (and why) she changed her approach and process for hiring What new ideas (and scalable solutions!) expanded her…

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.
