My Partner’s Not Doing Enough Work!

My Partner’s Not Doing Enough Work!

By Nina Kaufman, Esq.

I’m about to give my teleseminar, “Help! My Partner’s Driving Me Crazy!: Building and Maintaining Effective Business Partnerships” . . . and came across “My Partner’s Not Doing Enough Work!” — which is certainly a factor that could drive you crazy! Written by a self-confessed INTJ (haul out your Myers-Briggs personality grid to refresh your memory!), it rightly points out that sitting around stewing is the fastest path to partnership destruction.  But aside from the sensible “hey, take a deep breath and look at the big picture” advice given, there are some practical steps that you can take: Make a list of what each of you does and the approximate amounts of time you spend doing it.  Who knows, maybe there really is an imbalance; but you won’t know until you set it out dispassionately, in black and white.

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.
