Maybe you can help to point me in the right direction. I am just starting to go to craft shows and I am trying to figure out the legal logistics to paying someone to help me for the day of the shows. I have been told that if you pay someone under a specific amount per year you to not have to go through all the pay roll paperwork and withholdings. Do you know if this is the case and if so what that specific amount is? and where you find the information on the government sites? Thank you! Hello,

Plus, it may be really difficult for some folks to justify hiring an assistant, but really really easy to justify hiring someone to manage the books or to keep the house clean (sounds great to me!).

Great topic! I think the suggestion you gave about hiring housekeeping, accountant, etc... Is a great 1st step. That's where I am. What can I outsourse that's NOT part of my business? For diyers and perfectionists, I think that can be a real source of freedom and extra time. Looking forward to the rest of the series! Brenda! Great topic!

Yes! Those kinds of experiences, unfortunately, shy us away from hiring again. I hope that this new series will give you the tools that you need to find a motivated, high performing assistant who will make your life easier! Brenda Hi Karen!

After spending several all nighters fixing problems that my help created (like cutting pants on the obvious wrong grain of fabric and putting in buttonholes on the wrong side of a jacket)I decided it was just better to sew it all myself. I'm looking forward to your series of articles on this because now that I am older and wiser (hopefully)I would like to get some help. I'm staying tuned!
