I scaled from myself to a team of 20 (all remote). Just be aware that your skill set needs to change from hands on to management and operations. I had formal training in both, so it felt comfortable, but that's where many people stumble thinking that they have more work than they can handle so they start hiring, even though their gift is just on the execution side and not the management side.
The transition is fantastic and very financially rewarding if you have the desire and skillset to hire, manage (and fire!) others. The biggest change for me was the added stress on sales of having to "provide" for not just myself and my family but the individuals I hired and thinking about their families as well.
Also, my days became much more about things going wrong. Not because they were at a high rate, but because at the top people bring to you problems they couldn't solve themselves. So, it's a lot of problem solving, client repair work and coaching.
But after 5 years, I made more money than I thought I'd ever make, so to the victor go the spoils.
