I've had staff and I've gone totally solo & having staff can work if you can find
good people. We tend to expect more dedication than people are willing to
give. I just got tired of constant tardiness & just not getting work done that I
needed done, so I have gone totally solo. It allows me to be that much more
selective on cases and it is nice not having the stress of making payroll.
