I See Disaster in Your Future...and That's a Good Thing
The worddisasterconjures up many images.
The sports nut criesdisasterwhen his cable goes out near the conclusion of the big game.
The businessperson experiencesdisasterwhen his top customer files for bankruptcy.
The homeowner enduresdisasterwhen his house is impacted by flood, fire, smoke, wind, mold, sewage, etc.
In all of these scenarios,disasteris a bad thing. But it can also be a good thing. Allow me to explain.
An exciting growth niche in the construction and service economy has been the evolution of specialists who deal with the urgent, unpleasant and unplanned events caused by disasters of all shapes and sizes.
These pros have titles like: rebuilder, remodeler, restorer, responder, remediator, recoverer, mitigator, adjuster, applicator, cleaner, insurer, preventer and contractor.
They work for construction companies, insurance companies, cleaning companies, government agencies and companies that specialize in tackling tasks deemed too dangerous, skilled or nasty for the average person to embrace.
Many of these companies are prospering--despite the recession. They often are paid well by insurers, government funds and homeowners and business owners who desperately need their services.
So how does one enter, or expand within, this lucrative field? Glad you asked.
