@seanmonty The first hire is the toughest because your cash flow is cut in 1/2.
Your 10th hire is easy, because your cash flow is cut by only 10%

it's not exact, but you get the idea.
Before you do, upgrade your _business_. Get some testimonials. Get some before-after photos. Prepare your biz to move upmarket, you are probably not quite ready to make the first hire (but biz-upgrade can be done in like 30 days).
That said, you need to fire some clients and raise prices, then start to move toward being a business owner. Kudos for being good at the craft!
I can help upgrade the biz - SwiftMarketing = us. Goal: move toward luxury homes who will afford a higher rate. Add upsells (laundry, etc). Earn $ referring handyman (repairs). PM if interested
