if you go I dependent there are pros if you want to remain a captured employee just stay

Pros:
Ownership
Flexibility control
Reverse good night (80 percent of your revenue comes from top 20 percent of your clients)
Comp you will see a 20 to 30 percent revenue increase - yes this is true even though jones cute little pie chart says your already at 65% payout )
Retirement is done as capital gains not taxable
Your get to build your service model and client experience and office doesn’t look like Harry potters study.

I have about 30 more......

Cons ........ you have to book your own trips haha
