3 Online Business Mistakes to Avoid

3 Online Business Mistakes to Avoid

By Nina Kaufman, Esq.

Despite the popular myth, cyberspace isn’t the Wild West. Know the rules and protect yourself. You have a brilliant idea at 3 a.m on a Saturday. You turn on the computer, access the internet and register your domain name. Over the next 24 hours, you set up a PayPal account, get a template website, slap up some copy and, voila! You’re in business. Online. You haven’t had to ask for permission. No pesky regulations or bureaucrats breathing down your neck. The sense of freedom is dizzying: The whole world is open and no rules apply. Right? Wrong. “Forget that Wild West metaphor. It’s a myth,” writes Mark Grossman of The Grossman Law Group. “Cyberspace doesn’t exist outside of the legal system,” he cautions in his article, “Employees and Technology.” “The very same laws apply to your internet connection as to you sitting at your office in front of your keyboard.”   “Drat,” you think, as you begrudgingly search for your attorney’s phone number on Monday morning.

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.
