So look at your slowest time of the year, right and only bring on full time employees to meet the slow time and then look at outsourced resources, virtual assistants, remote workers, and other companies that can provide those services to you in a project by project basis so you keep your variable costs, as many of your costs possible as your variable costs, keep your fixed overhead as low as possible. Because your ability to contract the business when the economy retracts is as equal a skill as your ability to expand the business to meet demand.
