There is one big benefit of having been in and around the self storage business for almost 30 years (in other words being old).

You learn some lessons you did not and could not have known when you began.

Let me share five lessons about self storage operations I have learned. Some of these lessons I learned the hard way.

I share these with you in the hopes of shortening your learning curve and helping you avoid some of the headaches I’ve had over the years.

I am quite sure these are ideas you will not usually generally hear about self storage operations.
