Choosing the Right Network Marketing Business Partner–Part I

Choosing the Right Network Marketing Business Partner–Part I

By Nina Kaufman, Esq.

Sometimes, it takes a couple of bricks to the head to learn a lesson (ergo, the month-long blogging silence).  Here I am, Madam Genius, Esq., blogging about business partnerships, and I violated all my own good advice about choosing one wisely. A while back, a colleague approached me about getting involved with a network marketing opportunity with her.  I knew nothing about network marketing (save the nasty rumors about Amway and cults), but frankly, was enticed by the prospect of getting into this particular organization when it was fresh and newly-launched. . . and (hey, I’m human), my eyes sparkled with sugarplums and visions of easy money and residual income.  It was rush-rush-rush to get signed up by the pre-launch deadline to ensure a high place in the network’s organization.  Lots of phone calls to educate me (and others) about what network marketing is (and isn’t), how this particular organization intended to work, compensation structure, etc. But this is a blog about business partnerships, not network marketing, so, in the coming installments, I’ll let you in…

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.
