I attend a business luncheon once per month with other professionals from other industries.  We share our problems, and try to help each other out with practical solutions.

Today, the Self Storage owner of the group voiced his problems with his business.  It turns out that he has been having problems with vandalism at the two properties that he owned.  Not only were the vehicles that were stored in his lot damaged, but there was also a number of his businesses that have had graffiti drawn on them.

We suggested that he could install security cameras (which he had not done yet) and  hire a security guard for the evening.  This way, it should be a deterrent for the vandals.

We also looked at other problems that the lawyer of the group was having and we dealt with them too.

It is really nice to go to these luncheons - you realize that you are not the only business owner with problems.
