It was not until late 2007 that I no longer held a full-time W-2 job.

Now, I still work about the same amount of hours as before but they are not in a contiguous block of time. If I need to stop and take a few minutes or hours or days to deal with something, I can just do it.

But you are exactly right about the small company mentality. Some are never able to make the conceptual leap from small to anything else and without that leap the concrete steps needed to go there are impossible.

People who manage their own properties do it because it works for them, it is within their comfort zone and they don't need the benefits any other method might provide. Those of us who use managers do it for the exact same reasons.

But, one common trait that belongs to all of the truly successful is to know their strengths, weaknesses and limitations; know when to get help and how to leverage the efforts of employees and outside contractors.
