On being spontaneous … with Polar Bears

On being spontaneous … with Polar Bears

By Nina Kaufman, Esq.

“It’s 46 degrees!” Joe squeals, on hearing the weather report. (To the extent that a grown man and former champion power lifter would actually squeal). “Let’s go to the beach!” “Why?” I ask, maybe a little condescendingly. “The Polar Bears are there!” he replies. Sigh. The beach? Okay, so it’s a little warm for early February. A brief hint of Spring sandwiched between two snowstorms so vast they have their own names. (Maximus and Nika, just FYI). We go. I dress for winter. Slouchy hat, heavy sweater over thermal underwear, thick scarf, overcoat, and hiking boots. (I look like Randy from A Christmas Story). When we reach Long Beach, Long Island, I see this isn’t a small band of nut jobs, these Polar Bears. They are in the thousands. Stretched before us on the beach like a noisy penguin colony during mating season. And not just for ocean antics.

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.
