Sounds like your doing extremely well. Glad to hear it. I was being blunt because sometimes I think people assume they will make more and have a better life on their own, in many cases, this seems to be the opposite of reality. Health care insurance alone will break a small one man shop just starting out. Profit per se, is sometimes nonexistent, you're glad just to be able to pay the bills. Well, I'm not going to rant, seems that you are well aware of this and are just contemplating the future. Sounds like you have a good thing going as of now and it doesn't hurt to plan ahead. In 3 years, if I'm still struggling maybe I'll hang it up, maybe not, but one thing is for sure about business, networking is one of the most important things you can do. If you start building your networks years prior to starting your company you will be ahead of the game. Sounds like you've already started this. Good luck in your endeavors.
