What is your motivation for growing in this way? More money? More status? More interesting projects?

I would personally be very reluctant to start hiring employees if I was already successful on my own. You say that one upside is “share responsibility” but I would argue that is not true.

It’s your company, you alone are responsible and you’re now not just responsible for your salary but the salary and livelihood of all your employees.

I think its a mix of more status and more interesting projects. It is true about the salary and livelyhood of the employees and that is a frighting thing.
