Welcome Barb to DNL~
I am an orthodontic lab owner and have been in business for 8 years now. Like you I really enjoy what I do for a living. After a few years in business I found my comfort zone on a work load that I could handle. I did not go into business to hire other people I prefered to stay small and gather enough accounts that I would be able to handle on my own with out having to hire anyone. This was a personal choice that some would consider not very ambitious. But it truly works for me and I am in control of every aspect of my business. I would have a very very hard time deligating and training others. I guess you really need to decide for yourself how big you want to get, there is so many things to consider when taking on an employee. Are you willing to take on that responsibility and liability? There is a lot of factors to consider in making that jump.
Glad you joined the DNL family,
trisha
