Happy New Year...Let's turn the page on 2011!

Greetings and salutations to everyone. First of all, I'd like to wish everyone the happiest of New Years.  While last year did have some bright spots, I for one, will not miss '11. Many people will look back on last year as one that they'd all like to forget.

On New Years Eve I made dinner for my family, and as people tend to do, we reminisced about past NYE's. We talked about this year, and that year, an about where we all were when the ball dropped.  I remember New Year's Eve 1999, and how we all waited with baited breath for the world to come to a screeching halt because of Y2K. The computers were going to crash, banks were going to collapse and the food supply would dry up causing people to have to protect their homes and possessions with firearms. Ah, the good old days. Who knew that nothing bad would happen? Who knew that two very short years after that on NYE 2001, our world would become so different because of 9/11? I think that it's fair to say that nothing has been the same since. I know that because of that day and the ramifications from it, I started to look at life in a whole new way. It was part of the reason that I left New Jersey and moved here to the Grand Strand. They say that "life turns on a dime," and I wanted to shake my life up, so I did. I've never regretted that decision to begin "chapter two" of my life and form Coastal Carolina Home Watch in 2005.

I will say that it has been quite a learning experience. That is probably the understatement of the year.  Being a small businessman in these wonderful economic times, will tend to keep you on your toes. Maintaining a small business today, requires healthy relationships between you, your clients and those you do business with. I believe that you need two main ingredients for those relationships to exist: Trust and good communication. It is my wish for 2012, that Coastal Carolina Home Watch continues to provide good communication to all of our clients and business partners, and that we continue to earn your trust each day of the coming year. Thank you for that trust and your continued business.

Happy New Year,


Jack
