Welcome back to the Trading Secrets Podcast.

This show is sponsored by WCAA - the Window Coverings Association of America. Their mission is to make available educational and networking opportunities, to encourage a code of ethics for fair practices, and to work for the betterment of the window coverings industry.

Today we’re talking about “The Insurance Policy”.

Most people (myself included) are not big fans of paying insurance premiums. If you add up the amount you have paid for insurance over the years, it would probably shock you. But on the rare occasion that something goes wrong, you are glad that you did, right?

The peace of mind just knowing that you are protected is priceless and that’s what we are talking about in today’s show.

Stick around to hear a few prime examples from my career that show you exactly why you need an “insurance policy” and how it will save you many headaches moving forward.

Please send your comments and suggestions. Thanks so much for your support and always remember: Never Stop Learning.

Until next time!
