Listen to the Episode Below: Are You Really Ready for Longer-Term Clients? As a veteran in the book publicity and marketing industry, Jane Wesman knows that some projects can’t be “built in a day” and need longer-term dedication. In this interview, we explore what you need to know about your team and your finances to be ready for this supposed “Holy Grail” of clientele.

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.
