$1000 a month for yellow pages? how much of your business comes
from that? can you do without it? how much do you get from
internet marketing? we don't do that at all. if you've got
enough work now, maybe just networking with other members of the
bar a bar events and word of mouth will keep you going so you
don't need all those exhorbitant advertising fees. taxes and
the other gov. stuff is what really eats us up, worker's comp,
social security, malpractice insurance. are you in position
that you could share office space with someone and cut the rent
and utilities bill?
