Every business is vastly different. I used to have 3 employees and only work 10 hours a week. It was nice, but I made almost nothing after payroll. I now do ALL of the work in my business. I make much more money now, have control over everything, and my customers like it a lot better because I simply care more about my craft than anyone else would.
With that being said, if I want to grow my business, i’ll need to start hiring again and delegating work. It’s a balancing act that you’ll need to figure out on your own and decide how you want your life to be structured.
$10k in 9 months doesn’t beat a minimum wage job
