Most of my clients refer me to friends and colleagues, so new customers are flying in, especially with the wedding season coming up.

I don’t think I’m ready to hire an employee, but I don’t feel I have enough time during the day to finish everything that needs to get done. Do you have any suggestions?

Ask Dr. Deborah | Is self-employment the right career path?
Dear Dr. Deborah,
Recently I’ve been thinking about starting my own business, but I’ve heard that it requires a lot of work, and that most startup businesses fail.
