Actually, expansion is something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately. And I’m finding it hard to see many good reasons for doing so – in the conventional sense, at least. The internet is allowing us to operate as loose confederations of solo operators, coming together and moving apart as the work demands. It’s a fun and flexible way to work. Why go through the hassle and extra cost of formally employing someone?

So yes, I do say ‘we’, more than I expected. But generally speaking, that ‘we’ is a reference to my contacts list rather than myself.
