This may sound odd but here goes. Go after richer clients who don t quibble about the price. Clients who are always concerned about your price point will be the ones most likely to bail on you and hire cheaper help.You might try bidding on government contracts where all your workers need security clearance and background checks, jobs the cheaper workers have no access to and/or who won t pass the background check.I m reading a book called The 4-Hour Work Week and he explains this concept a lot better than I can. Your local library should have a copy.Basically, 20% of your customers make up 80% of your income. And 20% of your customers cause 80% of your problems. Often, they are not the same folks.

Send the INS donuts until they are your friends.Then have your friends arrest them.Publicize businesses that hire illegals, the the backlash work its magic.Or just charge $9.50 an hour yourself.No need to worry about taxes at that level, you don t earn enough for them to ammount to much.
