Protecting Your Future - Silver Lining Insurance Agency
Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Bridget Heylman, Co-Owner of Silver Lining Insurance Agency, located in Kiowa, CO, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
Our focus is you. No one wants to worry if they have enough insurance to protect themselves, their families, and their assets. That's our job! Silver Lining Insurance exists to protect what is close to your heart.
We work primarily with first-time home buyers, those with less than perfect MVRs and SR-22s.
Tell us about yourself
I was working in an HOA management position. I found very quickly that people did not clearly understand their responsibility as homeowners and what their management company was responsible for. It was then I made the switch to insurance so I could educate people regarding their coverage and how it applies, in addition to having the ability to make hands-on changes that could potentially make a really bad situation simply a cruddy one.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Starting a new venture is scary and hard. As a business owner, the biggest accomplishment is starting, then keeping the perseverance to keep going.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
As a solopreneur juggling all of the daily activities from all the different roles we play in a day. For example, I am sales, service, marketing, admin, and payroll today.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
Start today even if you don't feel ready. You will learn as you go, and experience is the best teacher.
Is there anything else you'd like to share?
Put yourself around the people you aspire to be. Try not to focus on not knowing "How" to do all the things but on finding people that have the skills you lack or are developing.
