Agreed
I would have given you more than one vote if I could have. My thoughts exactly. I work as a consultant in a very small IT firm and we constantly struggle with workloads. We have great people that generate more work, but find it really, really hard to find the right person when it's time to hire. More often than not it cost us more time managing the new hire than it would have taken if we had just done the work ourselves. This is all fine and expected, provided the new hire is a good long-term prospect. More often than not this isn't the case.
If I worked for myself I don't think I would hire a second person (unless I was aiming to build up a company of say 6 or more people then retire and live off the income). I'd rather turn down work.
