Small Business Optimism on MSNBC

Small Business Optimism on MSNBC

By Nina Kaufman, Esq.

If you slept in this past Sunday morning (and normally, I would, too), you may have missed my segment on MSNBC’s “Your Business” where I was part of a panel that included venture attorney Jennifer E. Hill and National Federation of Independent Business chief economist, Bill Dunkelberg. What’s your take on the economy? How has it affected your business?  Here are just a few things people have mentioned to me: “I don’t even want to think about the shenanigans in Washington–I’m just trying to plug along as best I can and keep my head above water.” “My business is pkay … but everyone I talk to seems depressed.” “I’m choking on late receivables.  Think my landlord will take an IOU the way my clients want to give them to me? :-)” “I’m giving everything a second look:  staff performance, marketing efforts, technology costs.  If it’s not working, it gets changed.” How about you?  Are you expanding, contracting, or “waiting and seeing”?  Join the conversation!

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.
