Is hiring employees worth it for a small home service business?

The "right" employees are always worth it!  They can add value to your business from their customer service skills, on the job skills and team skills.  As a small business owner you sometimes have to wear many hats, but finding employees that understand your mission, vision and are willing to follow direction and do the work is invaluable.  You as the owner/operator can free up time to concentrate on areas that may need more of your attention, you might be due for a vacation or time-off and having the staff that you can trust and rely on can make you relax, and reset where you can be your best self on the job and at home. Ask yourself these questions 1. can hiring the right employees bring in more targeted business? 2. Will it help significantly lessen team stress and allow jobs not to be rushed? 3. Will it allow for more service offerings? 4. If it is in my budget, what reservations am I having to hiring and how can I mitigate those issues?  In mitigation do I need to update or have policies and procedures in place? 

You have to look at where you business is and where you want to be in the next year to two years. Being a solopreneur is hard, stressful and a lot of mistakes and time can be lost as you are doing all the work, administrative, operations and in the field.  So truly look at how you want your business to grow.
