I relate to this. 1 person company means getting the job done. As soon as you have 2 people you really need 3. One to do the labor, the other to schedule and bill(receptionist). If it's a physical company you need more space. Some software charges by person too.
If something gets cancelled, the 1 person company takes a few hours off. Your 3 person company still needs to get their weekly paychecks.
Whenever I hear calls for raises to minimum wage to absurd(?) levels (20$/hr), I think that this company will never be able to grow past 1 person. You can pay for a receptionist if you are a big corp with many employees, but it's really hard when you are going from 1 person to 3. We'd even let the receptionist do full WFH and just answer phones so they can watch their kids.
"I guess we don't deserve to be in business".
And the big corporation who gives 60% of our service conquers the industry.
