nesparky,
It looks like your system ended up working you out of projects and your "employees" out of a "job". Lets hope they didn't spend the money as they made it. If I made more than twice my normal income for a year, I would be in good shape for time off. Actually I have had the last year off and was not in good shape to begin with.
When I was running my business I wanted to get into a position to use a piecework pay system with employees, but never did. Most of my work was industrial and just did not lend itself to that. It would have been nice that instead of being their boss I would have been their customer and they would not have had jobs but their own business. That would have been the way I see it even though on paper I would have still been an employer and had the responsibility that entails.
