For all you guys with employees, how many employees is your max?

We are a growing company as I have said before. My partner and I have 3 full timers and 2 part timers right now. We have a watering guy in the watering season as we contract with the city and some commercial companies to do seasonal flowers in containers. So 3 part timers.

We have recently been discussing hiring a full time mason and a full time gardener (might be to replace some of the part timers?) These are 2 expensive positions and are where my partner and I have fit before. However, he is bogged down with design work like we have never seen before and I have become more of the managing partner rather than our company gardener.

So, I am wondering at what point you all feel enough is enough. 2 more is fine but I can see in the horizon the temptation for taking more and More and MORe and MORE!!!!! to make more money and eventually going nutzo.

Feedback would be appreciated.

What's wrong with more?


Sounds like you are pretty content with where you are now, just need to tweak operations a bit.

I do believe that those answers will present themselves to you when the time comes.......most often when you least expect it.

Other than that......growth is a good thing......to do that is to have systems in place......and certain individuals that are willing to take responsibility.

Bigger is better. But its all about managing, people and time.
