Spot on. I worked for 7 years as a contractor before amassing enough money to be comfortable taking on my first employee. That was just over a year ago and now I have 5 of them - and plenty of cashflow to actually pay them what they're worth.

It's almost like people have forgotten how a business works...

Hehe, probably you have better understanding of running a business than many business owners.

(One pitfall however is that some bootstrapped business owners become unreasonably cheap even when there is reason not to be.)
