Just me, it is usually complex stuff where only one person or two in tandem can do the work. I would be pleased to be able to offload some of the work to other people, but it is hard to find people having the right skills — the niche effect, few skilled people.
just a suggestion. maybe you can create a training system, where people can "shadow you", and the possibly take some of the load off of you. of course i understand that the work is complex, so perhaps someone with the necessary academic background, but not fully knowledgeable of the tech side yet?
Woah woah woah. Don't forget take into account the overheads in consulting.
Just off the top of my head you'd need to think about winning each contract, paying taxes, holidays, health cover, professional indemnity, sick leave, misc business expendables (like office, phone, ISP), the list goes on.
Don't get me wrong. It is still good money I'm sure.
