Before I owned my business, I worked for some real winners. Cheapskate would be an understatement.

I had this theory, if I paid my employees really well, treated them great and was really nice to them, they would work really hard for me.

I could not be more wrong.

Let me put it this way, I can now hire if I wanted to, I used to have 20 employees, now I have 2. I do not want to hire and deal with them anymore. I am happy being a small company.
