Our site, ThaiChix.com also started out way back, about 13 years ago and is still up and running and doing great. It was me and my hubby back then and still is with a bit of hired help when needed.
My question is, do you ever regret taking the step to hire a bunch of people?? Are you ever looking back to the days when it was only you and your wife and thinking that those where the good times?

Hi Sue! Thanks. Congrats on 13 years of Thai Chix. Nice site. Great looking girls. Well done!!! Btw let me know if you'd like us to give you a push on our free sites. It would be mostly tube traffic but if you'd like to give it a try let me know. Your content looks great and I'd love to give it a shot.
I often look back and think man those were the days. The people that work at the office have no idea. We'd work all night long then at 7am icq each other and say hey hungry or tired? LOL We'd either go out for breakfast or go to bed. LOL Man we worked so hard. I remember when we first moved to the Bahamas we worked in the attic and there was no A/C. It must have been 95 degrees up there. I miss those days but we couldn't do that now. Nowadays programming has become such a huge part of the entire process we wouldn't be able to hack it. The things that are possible now weren't back then and being able to really juice your traffic and stay competitive requires being able to make knowledgeable decisions. Just looking at one example. Web traffic vs Mobile Traffic. Two entirely different sources of traffic. Same site but needs two different interfaces and needs to be managed and monetized differently. The competition is so fierce and there is so much opportunity that doing it just us would be next to impossible.
