In 2011 my wife reminded me of that day in 2007 and told me I got my wish.

Now business is jumping and has been for about 5 years now, I swore to never get big again.

I have 3 employees and use a ton of tech instead to make work faster and easier.

I toyed with hiring on a 4th person and I am not in the mood to even try.

I just turn work away now and keep it small.

The funny thing, in 2020 I had the most profitable year I have ever had in the last 22 years being in business. Not the most revenue, just most profitable.

The best part is we are turning more revenue now than when I had 12 people working here.

That's wonderful!
