That's sage advice, and good. Always try to exceed
your goals and consider only meeting them as almost a
failure. It works and it works VERY well!
Actually rather than comparing dollars to dollars for a
business, you'd be better off comparing manhours and
expertise requirements per project so you can compare
apples and apples. Anything I'd say for instance would
have no bearing on your situation, even if I were in
your business, which I'm not.
Food for thought:
Don't forget the cost and cons of union labor.
Have you contacted the SBA? Lots of info there. They
gave me a GREAT start!
Is this your first time with self employment? IF so,
you might have a lot of surprises in store; do your
homework.
Then you'll know what questions to ask and how to ask
them.
