The solution is to NOT be a one man business any more.

To make the change from one person business to well ... a business .. is not an easy one, and it is not a step everyone wants to take. As soon as you have employees you have salaries that HAVE to be paid which means you have to win a breakeven level of business month in month out.

One of the things I enjoyed very much about being a one man band, was if I wanted a quiet month, perhaps a bit of time off, I could take it pretty much whenever I wanted.
