Good point. After a while you learn that you can do more by yourself and not having that extra person who is not as dedicated to the business as you are. | ||

Ed, I�m somewhat in the same boat. I own a small family business with a total of 7 employees, me included. I can honestly say that when I�m not there a fraction of the work gets done. As I sit at home recovering from my second hernia surgery in the last 4 years. The only thing that stays in my mind is how much work I�ll have when I get back. | ||

Just me and my wife. I had one other person at one time but he got in my way. Besides I go home about every 6 weeks for a week and what would I do with employees? In a small business like mine an employee costs you more than you make from him, plus I know I will be at work in the Morning since I own the place. | ||

Ed do you have any employees at your shop or are you the Lone Ranger? | ||

I did two Mazda timing belts today, a 626 V6 and a 929 DOHC along with a power window motor on a Lumina and an 02 sensor in a Cavalier, a stripped oil drain plug in a BMW and a broken trunk latch on a BMW. Mowed the lawn at my shop and home and still went home an hour early. | ||

Is there anyone else out there that should actually be doing work instead of day dreaming about black asphalt and prancing horses. Ahh... The drone of a weekday. |
