Only problem is the first employee you hire adds a huge amount of overhead with payroll tax deductions, unemployment insurance, etc. Tell me our tax system doesn't add to unemployment. If you can find a way to hire someone as an independent contractor you are set. You should be able to find someone to work for $6-7 hour part time. I pay a bonus of $1 for every appointment scheduled by telephone solicitation. It works, and it is sooo worth it. I could say you could pay them with cash, but that would be illegal.

My gross income LEAPED when I knew I didn't have to come home and work for another 2 hours; you're paying someone, as an independent contractor, a fraction of what you charge hourly to take a huge burden off your shoulders---and for me, the help is part time, with about 12-15 paid hours a week on piano business stuff--scheduling, email invoices, deposits and payments, errands, answering the phone during the shank of the day---10AM to 3PM. I get a LOT more done during my billable hours, and have much more energy and pleasure for the work---it doesn't seem like an endless grind so much. My best to all---- David Andersen _______________________________________________ pianotech list info: https://www.moypiano.com/resources/#archives
