Entrepreneurs and the Hazards of Independence

Entrepreneurs and the Hazards of Independence

By Nina Kaufman, Esq.

Happy Independence Day! Entrepreneurs are blessed with a wonderfully independent, can-do spirit, which deserves to be celebrated. But sometimes, that independent streak can cross over into just plan stubbornness, or controlling behavior. So my interest was piqued by Jeremy Fain’s post, 2 Entrepreneurial Worst Practices. He points out two “worst practices” that get in the way of business growth: 1. Doing your bookkeeping and legal work on your own (okay, so that one is near to my heart), and 2. Not committing full-time (in other words, having outside employment as well). What do you think? In the meantime, I’ll be toasting (not toasted) your independence! 🙂 Want to learn more about Kaufman Business Law? This is the video to watch. Watch our 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.
