Basic Biz Secrets for Women Entrepreneurs

By Nina Kaufman, Esq.

Not that women entrepreneurs are so different from men entrepreneurs, but there’s often a different sensibility toward how you handle matters when you become a business owner.  I had interviewed Alicia Marie Fruin on the subject of whether yours “is a business worth having” and in this podcast, Alicia Marie Fruin of Peoplebiz turns the tables.  She interviews me about the basics that women entrepreneurs should know when starting and running their businesses including: Whether a written partnership agreement means you don’t trust your business partner How to hold yourself and others accountable–and ways that a coach can help Exit strategies in business … and the less-discussed but all-too-common reasons that force women entrepreneurs to abandon their companies Making “follow the money” and “date before you marry” your watchwords in any strategic alliance or jv partnership Why choosing the right form of business entity really matters Smart ways to handle debt collection … and to distance yourself from the (icky) process The advantages of building a workforce without employees How multi-scoop ice cream cones relate to the business decisions…

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.
