New Years Resolutions

At time of writing we are just over 12 hours away from 2019. It’s that annual ‘reflect and plan’ moment in which we look back at the things we have accomplished and the things we need to change for the coming year. I’ve found that, as I’ve gotten older, my new year’s resolutions are less about change and more about acceptance and compromise. Rather than the stereotypical “I want to look like a supermodel, I’m accepting more of a ‘well if I want that pizza and wine, I’ll try to do more walking or take up swimming’, instead of the ‘I want to earn more money’, compromising with ‘I can treat myself to x if I cut out y’.

That isn’t to say that having the well known goals is a negative thing, but we live in a society in which we constantly feel like we need to change to be successful, in business we must ‘innovate or terminate’. In my opinion there is a lot to be said for standing firm on certain things, be ready to change what needs to be changed but be prepared to hold true to what makes your business its own. If we constantly strive for change, we risk losing what made us unique in the first place.

January is well known to be the month for new business start ups. At Reid Hamilton we love the excitement a start up brings- the new business owners have a fantastic energy and know exactly what they want of their endeavour. Sometimes the activities they wish to take on aren’t necessarily seen as usual pairings and this can cause some insurers to be wary of quoting. Having a broker on your side in this instance is invaluable. We deal with a wide variety of industries and know which insurers we can approach to cover all aspects of your new venture and, more importantly, we know what information needs to be disclosed to ensure you are correctly covered should you need to claim. We will undertake to find a solution for you without forcing change where it isn’t needed.

Our friendly team are always ready with a warm kettle to discuss what is important to you, just give us a call on 01524 39939.
