​How do I get out of the cycle of craziness? 1 man service business. Kind of just venting/ranting

Hey all. So I feel like I’m going in a circle here and I’m trying to figure out what direction I should be driving in.

I run a 1 man service company, automotive based. It’s a mobile service company. But I’m only 1 guy. I’m the secretary, I’m the accountant, I’m the technician, I’m the customer service. And it’s like.. there’s only so much I can do.

So when I started out. I was advertising , it took a few months but it built up to where I was slammed, booking 2 weeks ahead.

So then I basically stopped advertising. Cause it was crazy for me to handle I was losing my mind a little bit between trying to talk to customers, do quotes, handle the books and accounting. AND get to 3-4 cars per day and perform the work.

Now it’s trickled down to only being booked out a day or 2 in advance. I want to advertise and ramp up again. But I know I can only handle so much.

The issue as well. Is I don’t make enough money yet. I’m still in the hole trying to dig out of debt and afford what I’m currently doing. So I don’t feel like I have the money to pay other people and hire people on. Even though that seems to be the only way out in my head.

What do you guys think?
