It is hard putting money into insurance and wishing you could be using it in other ways, but it is a part of business that must not be overlooked, and you must not cut corners. Unfortunately, insurance is designed to help us on those days that we hope never comes, and yet when it does come, we hope we have insurance. So, it is a bit of a catch 22 that we need to be prepared for.
