I only started my biz a few years ago, the first year, I wasn’t able to give it my all, the second year, I worked just for myself from mid May through mid November, this year started more in April and calls have kept steady enough that I haven’t really been running paid adds yet this year but I’ll start those soon.
I don’t have employees, I’m to the point though where it would be really nice to have an extra hand sometimes and to have someone who can do quotes while I’m working. I really don’t plan on hiring out though, we’ll see. When I’m sure that I can make enough to carry ourselves through the winter my goal is to let my wife quit her job and go part time with me.
The amount of growth since I decided to start this has really shown great potential, I’m constantly trying to learn how to be better, faster, more efficient and all that.
You’ll definitely have several hats to wear as a business owner ever if you keep it small. The only regrets I have so far though is that I didn’t start it sooner.
And one million is pretty much basic.
