When I say one-person business, I mean a business that has one full-time employee which is the case for me. Of course you need to invest in contractors, tools and other things that give your leverage, given your time is limited and you want to use it as efficiently as possible. I work with a copyeditor for my writing. I contract on an hourly basis, doing a few hours per week. My editor is far more efficient at what they do than if I did it. If my business grew large enough, this contract role - and perhaps other ones - might become full-time roles. But that size or workload is far enough away in my case.
