Have Shovel Will Travel

In a previous self storage blog I wrote about the way that the town of Columbia Missouri was snowed in and that the businesses of the Phonesmart call center, self storage industry and the rest of the city were affected by the heavy snowfall. I would like to address how this enormous snow fall affected me personally. Since I was unprepared for the snowfall I learned a valuable lesson which is to be over prepared instead of not being prepared at all. With all the warnings and predications I still was not prepared. I have a garage which I am sure that my car appreciated that however I do also have a driveway that leads to the garage which is where my problem began. I did not own a shovel before Saturday; therefore I had 19 inches of snow that my car (which is not 4-wheel drive or front wheel drive) could not plow through. I thought that it would be simple to mussel through the snow but it was not as easy as it seemed. In short I had to call a tow truck to get me out but on the way to assisting me they too got stuck on the main road before my housing subdivision. I did eventually get unstuck and a purchased a shovel. As this was happening I thought that this incident not applied to personal but the self storage industry as well. One of the self storage secrets as well as a valuable lesson is to be prepared for all situations or objections to overcome with the callers and personal usage.
