Owning my Own Business

Guest post from: Constance Rodgers

When I opened my own business last year, I thought I’d covered all my bases. I knew that if I was going to make the jump from corporate job to owning a boutique, I needed to do it right. I had all the proper insurance in place, I had the right people to staff the store, and I had the correct business licenses that I needed. All was well for a while, and I’d never been happier…until my store was broken in to. Virtually in an instant, the entire inventory I’d worked so hard to curate was gone. Of course my insurance covered the damages, but it was so psychologically damaging that I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to get over it. I had spent countless hours picking out the perfect collection of things to showcase in my store, and all of it was gone in a flash. The only thing I could think over and over was that I should have listened to friends who advised I install a security system. Time has passed and I’ve gotten over the burglary for the most part, but I will not make the same mistake again. I called ADT security Services the day after the break-in and had a system installed immediately. Now I have the peace of mind I need to be able to keep running my business
