As am I. Also solo. I’ve talked to a ton of small business owners, and the difference between small business owners and corporations is you have to be willing to fuck people over to become more than “the little guy”. So, I think people like us are in the “not evil” category because our goals aren’t just to simply “make money line go up.” However, because of that, we will forever be “the little guy”

Yeah, exactly. I think it depends on your goals and aspiration.

The more a company/corporation grows, the more likely it is to become souless and evil.

For now, I'm a "little guy" and I love the freedom that comes with it. The moment you bring employees and people, then you have to start managing and stuff.

We'll see what the future holds.

Precisely. Best of luck to you my friend on your journey. Mine has been a wild ride and I’m not even a year into it.
