What is there to do after solo practice?

I have been a solo for 1 1/2 years now as a general
practitioner. My practice tended to focus on bankruptcy
and family matters. After new bankruptcy law, my practice
shifted towards family and consumer law cases. My schedule
C will likely show a $5,000 to $10,000 profit this year. I
bring in a strong monthly gross, but my profits are
devoured by bar fees, marketing, networking event fees,
cle, and a part time secretary/paralegal. I can't make it
anymore. I need a higher income.

I am depressed about shutting my practice. I always
believed I would succeed and retire a solo. Anybody have
any advice on what options are available to someone like
me? I think my career within the legal field is finished.
Firms hate solos and especially failed ones. Any ideas are
greatly appreciated.
