Insurance vs the Station Nightclub Fire Without giving my age away entirely, I will admit…I'm a child of the 80s. I've been lucky enough to have seen several of my favorite 80s artists perform their greatest hits.  It never crossed my mind that something could go wrong during a concert and I might be in danger. But on February 2, 2003, more than 400 people who also loved the 1980s attended a concert at the Station Nightclub in West Warwick, Rhode Island. But that night, something went wrong. A fire broke out at the concert, resulting in 100 deaths and 230 injuries. When bad things like this happen—insurance should respond. That's what it's there to do. But what if the people responsible don't have enough insurance to compensate those affected by the disaster? Well, then things get complicated. This is a story about how small decisions can result in tragedy; how fire spreads faster than you imagine; and how the people who are responsible are sometimes not the people who are held accountable.

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Elizabeth Tresp discuss:How Elizabeth started her law firm (and manages her other businesses as well). The secret of work-life balance. Managing workload capacity and workload ability when hiring. Understanding your core competencies and trying new things.  Key Takeaways:The work-life balance will change throughout your career and will look different for every person. Knowing when to hire is going to come with experience, but you need to be in tune with your employees, what is really happening, and if the work currently can support someone else. Always be recruiting (even if you're not currently hiring). You never know what conversation is going to be had and what that will turn into. Be willing to take the risk on things you enjoy and make you feel good. You never know what you will learn or how your business will grow.  "Don't be scared. Take the risk. Invest in yourself. Invest in your goal and what you have to offer, own it, and feel good about it." —  Elizabeth Tresp Get a free copy of Steve's book “Sales-Free Selling” here: www.fretzin.com/sales-free-selling Thank you to our Sponsors!Get Staffed Up: https://getstaffedup.com/bethatlawyer/Overture: https://overture.law/Get Visible: https://www.getvisible.com/ Episode References: 24 Months to Freedom by Brett Trembly - https://www.amazon.com/24-Months-Freedom-Staffing-Solutions/dp/1955242445 About Elizabeth Tresp: An attorney, business owner, investor, philanthropist, and mother, Elizabeth A.
