Strategic Alliance Success Story — Here’s the Actual Story

Strategic Alliance Success Story — Here’s the Actual Story

By Nina Kaufman, Esq.

Yes, I know blog posts can be short — as short as a single link to another site — but that wasn’t my intent with my last post on “A Strategic Alliance Success Story.”  [Don’t get me started about technical glitches and how I’ve been missing my own posting deadlines!] As you can see from the article about Marian Banker and Ramon Ray’s Small Business Summit, held in NYC in February, they have managed to have a wonderful collaboration for the past several years.  Partly, it seems, because they have been laser-focused on the purpose of the collaboration (building an annual conference) . . . AND they and bring different skills to the mix.  Plus, when you see then together at the Summit, they’re having a ball! So strategic alliances needn’t be all gloom and doom — nor do they need to be all-consuming.  But you do need to choose wisely, as Marian and Ramon did.  Read the article on Marian’s site to find out more!

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.
