Choosing the Right Network Marketing Business Partner-Part 2

Choosing the Right Network Marketing Business Partner-Part 2

By Nina Kaufman, Esq.

As I mentioned in Part 1 of “Choosing the Right Network Marketing Partner,” my first mistake was entering into a business that I knew nothing about (and neither did my partner).  Here’s another lesson I learned from my network marketing foible: We were in it only for the money.  I was looking for a quick fix — I’ve had my eye on a larger apartment and, frankly, the easy cash would have been nice.  I think Grace was, too.  She’s a financial planner; I’m a business attorney.  The NM opportunity was for a liquid nutraceutical (in other words, a really cool, nutritious juice).  Juice is not something that easily integrates into either of our businesses.  What — here’s a contract; want a juice while you’re sitting there?  By contrast, an acupuncturist colleague is part of a herb-and-vitamin network organization which works well for her, because herbs and vitamins dovetail seamlessly with her holistic health practice.  It makes sense.  Juice and employment manuals?  Juice and investment strategies . . . not so much What else did I do…

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.
