Solving the Mystery of Scaling Key Talent

By Nina Kaufman, Esq.

Listen to the Episode Below: It’s real simple: if you want to scale yourself and your business, you need to train someone else to do your job(s). You can’t keep doing it all. But simple does not = easy. How do you transfer your knowledge? And overcome the temptation to say, “It’s just easier/faster if I do it myself?” On this week’s episode, business growth advisor Rochelle Lisner shares her top tips for identifying the skills you need in your team, and “mind-melding” with them, so you don’t waste time in your quest for dynamic business growth!

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.
