Run your own race for business success

Run your own race for business success

By Nina Kaufman, Esq.

I ran the Tunnel to Towers 5K race this past weekend. It’s one of a number of 5K (3.1 mile) races that I run during the year with my husband, Joe. Maybe one every 4-6 weeks. Now, I’m not trying to come home with any medals. I run them to stay in shape, have fun with Joe, and support causes I care about. To train, I drag myself to the gym a few times a week (sometimes not quite that) and fiddle about on the treadmill. Stretch out a bit. And call it a success. By contrast, Joe and I have become friendly with Armando, a NYC Police Officer we see at races often. Armando stands out because he’s a flag-bearer. That means he runs the entire length of the race holding up an American flag on a pole. And he’s super-fast—he blows by most people as if we were standing still. Armando has a different goal. He runs a race every weekend. And often, those are half-marathon races. He trains by running laps in…

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.
