[Have you got an office?
– Yes
Have you stayed working from home?
– Out grew the home office.
Have you hired fulltime people to work for you (non-remotely)?
– Yes, and it’s been a challenge. To give your staff the information they need to make the business more successful you also giveaway things you have learned (the hard way) which they can potentially use on their own.
What’s the progress been like?
– Honestly – I had a better bottom line without employees, but in the long run I expect to make up for things.
Summary – For me real employees actually cost me alot in the short term because I got one really bad techie who made some really bad calls and set me back over $200k in losses in 1 year (mistakes and potential lost income). Be careful about growing your business, the right people make all the difference, and they are not always that easy to find.
