Success doesn’t mean growth.You don't have to expand your small business.
I realized this while reading the book
"Company of One" by Paul Jarvis. At one point, when I was creating wedding stationery, I thought I needed to start a design studio and hire people. I've actually hired a few people to help me during peak season. It made me feel important in a way that "look, my small business is growning, the demand for my services is so high I need people to help me".
But also it made me realize I just love working alone. And a bigger company means more problems to solve, and I just didn't want that. Comfort and a familiar work atmosphere are more important to me than growth.
