The Sneeze That Shook a Small Business

The Sneeze That Shook a Small Business

By Nina Kaufman, Esq.

Imagine: you’ve just purchased a new home with your beloved, and are planning to wed in a matter of months. He’s considerate–wanting you to sleep through the night, though he suffers from back pain and has to get up periodically. You’ve developed a robust small business consulting practice. Your sweetie, new to entrepreneurship (having parted ways with Corporate America), has some good clients under his belt. It’s a promising start. In a flash, all that changes. Because of a sneeze. Or rather, the lack of one. The doctor turns to you and says, “If we don’t operate within the hour, he’ll be paralyzed for life.” Surgery ensues. Hubby loses his clients within a week. Faces a two-year recovery period. Would your business survive? Would you … if you were on your own? Join me as I talk to Dina Eisenberg, JD, who faced this very situation. Listen in as we talk about: Dina’s journey from lawyer to entrepreneur, and the “patchwork quilt” of talents she developed along the way that position her perfectly for what…

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.
