Managing your time is a strategic decision

Managing your time is a strategic decision

By Nina Kaufman, Esq.

Do you ever reach the end of a day and have no idea where the time went? Have a to-do list that’s longer than your arm? Once you cross something off the list, you pile 3 things on? (That last one is DEFINITELY me. Just ask my husband.). If so, you’re in good company. Great company, in fact. The vast majority of small businesses in this country function like red hot messes. Why? Because their owners have much of their business in their heads. But you can’t grow your business if it resides in your head. You can’t assess which systems are ripe for automation or delegation if they’re rattling around in your cranium … where no one else can get at them. So when clients come to me, they complain that matters are slipping through the cracks. Or, another new hire didn’t work out. I’ll ask them: Do you know how you’re spending your time?

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.
