Is “play” a four-letter word in your small business?

Is “play” a four-letter word in your small business?

By Nina Kaufman, Esq.

“SPEAK!” PROFIT!” “ACTION!” filled my computer screen in rich tones of red and blue and green. A fellow speaker had wangled me a free—FREE!—ticket to a 4-day high-ticket workshop, and I was invited. Normally, I’d jump on the opportunity like an eager puppy. Scheme a way to attend and explain to my husband why I needed to be away on yet another business trip. My suitcase would be packed before I got the plane tickets. Instead, I wanted to cry. I suddenly felt the meaning of the phrase “straw that broke the camel’s back.” What’s the big deal? If the timing, the staffing, the finances aren’t right, just say no and move on … right? Rather, I felt like an over-burdened donkey trudging up a hill, and this was one more brick added to my load.

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.
