A combination:

- Raise prices
- Hire at least part time help for some of the simple stuff. (shipping / receiving, keeping shop clean, preventative maintenance). Maybe a student or a retired person. You need to value your expert time. Swiping floors and packing for shipment are not good use of your time.
- Do good project planning and do not accept work that can't be completed in 3 months or less. It will be less harmful to turn customers down than to take their work and not return it for a year.
