Working Wiggle Room into Your Deadlines

Working Wiggle Room into Your Deadlines

By Nina Kaufman, Esq.

Don’t ask me where the time has flown! My computer crashed on Friday the 7th, so my trusty tech support, ZEI Ltd., commandeered the machine for the day. Over the weekend, I celebrated my brother and sister-in-law’s wedding anniversary with them. Monday was filled with doctor’s appointments, and Tuesday and Wednesday disappeared in a haze of meetings and flurry of client work before I close my office for Jewish New Year, which I observed on Thursday and Friday. Today, Monday, I received an email asking when I’m planning to post my next item on the blog because, well, it’s been over a week, and I had committed to at least two posts a week. I recount all of this not to impress you with how busy I am, or to gain sympathy for being duly chastised, but to share with you how important it is to build wiggle room into your deadlines.

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.
