I think that's probably true. I think the bosses of most small businesses are scared of growing bigger than about 10-15 employees, because they're terrified of delegating.
- hef19898 3y agoNot terrified, but maybe satisfied with running a stable 10-15 people shop? There is no need to grow each and every business into a unicorn.
- noneeeed 3y agoI have friends who have done exactly this. They grew a small agency to about 15 people and are happy with it. They enjoy what they do, it’s a nice place to work, they make plenty of money from it and have no desire to be rich.
- hef19898 3y agoThe mist valuable thing money can buy you is time. If you make enough for a comfortable living, with a good work life balance and great people, and your own gig, I would consider you very rich in deed!
