Will You Go Big or Go Home?

Will You Go Big or Go Home?

By Nina Kaufman, Esq.

WHAT THE $%^&!?!” I screamed, as I slammed down the phone receiver. “I HATE THIS!! I CAN’T KEEP DOING THIS CRAP ANYMORE!” Can you say “meltdown”? Yeah, I had one last month. Triggered by technology. The frustrations. The convolutions. The glitches. All of it pulling me away from making money … and all of it costing me time and money. I felt like a little frog who had tried so hard to climb up and out of a well, only to have a pug-nosed kid poke at me with a stick and push me back down. I felt defeat. “Why bother?” I asked myself. “Maybe I should pull back and keep things simple.” Let the pity party begin! (Bring out the cupcakes!) It lasted about 10 minutes, when an unexpected guest arrived: Awareness. She said, “Sure. Go ahead. Retrench. You’ve done that before. You know what’ll happen if you do it again. You’ll amble along.

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.
