Do You Know Where You’re Going To?

Do You Know Where You’re Going To?

By Nina Kaufman, Esq.

Do you know where you’re going to?  Do you like the things that life is showing you?  Where are you going to?  Do you know? These are important philosophical questions.  They’re also important business questions.  (They’re also lyrics to the theme song from the classic film, Mahogany). If you don’t know when you want to get out of your business, and how much you want for it when you leave, you may find you’ve worked yourself into a job from which you can’t escape.  And worse, without a strong exit plan, you may be leaving a lot of the company’s value on the table. Basil Peters is a Vancouver-based entrepreneur and author of the recently-released Early Exits [that is, exiting from your business, not life].  From his experience in selling a business, a well designed and executed exit strategy can easily increase the business valuation by 50%, and sometimes by 100%.

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.
