It's been bugging me and Jennifer for quite some time now. The urge to hire someone is like going to the doctor's office for a check up. You know it needs to happen, but there's so much paperwork involved.
Seriously though, it's a question that's been floating around the "office" for a while. Being in business for 3+ years, and also being "successful" enough to continue on has been a blessing. We've got the greatest clients, and the one reason I shy away from hiring is our connection to them. It's not "The Domestic Assistants" if it's not us. We'd have to double or triple the work load to afford the stipulations that come with hiring (i.e. insurance, supplies, etc.) But maybe there's a way around all that. What if we put it out there as "independent contractors"? What if the job requirement was a lesson from us in how to be incredibly awesome at everything you'd advertise for, a crash course in the drive it takes to get you from point A to clientele, and the wisdom to be yourself, in business, for liberty and justice for all things "domestic".
I don't know, I'm still stuck on why. The main reason I'd take this on would be the demand, I get people telling me at least 3 times a week that my business idea is amazing, and although I'm open to all suggestions, it really comes down to the legalities, responsibilities, and overall work we'd be putting in. So I ask you, my audience, what's the best course of action? Is it better to seek out Independent Contractors OR hire people into the "company"?
