The 7 Hardest Qualities to Find in a Business Partner

The 7 Hardest Qualities to Find in a Business Partner

By Nina Kaufman, Esq.

Sometimes, despite all the highfalutin’ talk, it’s time to get back to basics.  That’s what I thought when I read JV Blogger’s post on Tuesday. Yes, when it comes to choosing a business partner, you want someone with complimentary skills sets.  Money.  An understanding of your industry.  Connections.  Networks. But — and this is what the post highlighted — you want someone who has the basic foundation for success:  Honesty.  Integrity.  The willingness to roll up one’s sleeves and pour on the gas when the going gets tough.  Accountability.  Humility.  Ambition (but not the back-stabbing kind).  Pleasant appearance and demeanor.  JV Blogger lists 7 vital attributes. A person who embodies these attributes has made a conscious choice about who they are and how they intend to live, regardless of educational background, age, training, family situation, or other external circumstances.  Become that person yourself, and you’re far more likely to find a business partner who shares those qualities. You deserve to be paid, protected, and prosperous. Kaufman Business Law can help get you there. Watch this short video…

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.
