“I use my kids for overflow work. I’m holding off on employees for as long as possible. If I ever have to, it will be contract. But some businesses can’t do that.”
I sold my businesses and like you, the next won’t have employees - and will be based in a country that welcomes capital.
I'm with you 100%. I gave my half of my own biz to my former wife in lieu of alimony (and now *she* has to deal with the employees). It'll take me a couple of years to get there, but my next stop will be a South Seas island, or maybe Panama. I may change my plans if the US miraculously becomes business-friendly, but I don't see that happening.
