Welcome to Nava Associates

Nselaa Ward, Juris Doctor, CEO of Ni’ Nava & Associates (NNA), has one of the most powerful stories of entrepreneurial resilience. Ward, JD has been asked to speak at TEDx’s around the world, universities, and corporations to deliver her expertise and life changing story of transcending from a child sex worker in a crack cocaine community to an attorney and ultimately becoming one of the top business architects in the country.

During her prior years as an attorney she practiced primarily business and bankruptcy law, and some criminal defense. What particularly peaked her interest was why bankruptcy was so intertwined in the business process. After working with 1000s of business and bankruptcy cases, Ward, JD had the unique opportunity to test and observe the correlation between business practices and success or failure. In addition, she owned several of her own enterprises including a limo company, law firm, technology company, general contracting company, and landscaping business. From this study and her own experiences in entrepreneurship Ward, JD was able to design the “Blueprint to Building Better Businesses.”

Ni’ Nava & Associates prides itself in touching every client. This is because we understand the significance of the business’s relationship to the entrepreneur. Through academic studies conducted by numerous universities Ward, JD learned the science behind the concept that entrepreneurs’ brains respond the same way to their businesses as parents respond to their children. However, it wasn’t until she lost one of her own businesses that she was able to feel the ramifications of this study in reality. She calls it the curse of the broken hearted entrepreneur.

From this broken heart Ward, JD continued her study and was able to build the bridges that were missing in startups, and businesses ready to scale. From her international travels and corporate partnerships she was able to recruit the top business architects, attorneys, and professionals in the world to provide the systems, resources, and team support necessary to help small businesses level up. Most companies have to spend 6 figures on each executive officer they hire. Ni’ Nava & Associates was birthed to make it affordable to bring in the tools and teams needed to level up like a fortune 500 enterprise. Not only do we teach our client’s how to be the CEO’s of their enterprise, but we also provide the company with an COO and CFO team, while designing and building a sustainable business model. As a result we save our clients tens of thousands in financial planning, hundreds of thousands in executive expertise and workforce, and even more in time, efficiency, and peace of mind.

There is a healing that comes with the empowerment of enterprising that is seeded in the heart of Ni’ Nava & Associates. This seed develops enterprising at it’s best appearing in the form of an entrepreneur ecosystem. Ni’ Nava & Associates thrives as one the nation’s top business architect firms today, because we are helping business owners make more than a living. We help business owners make legacies.
