Congrats, take joy in your accomplishments and success. Keep your close friends if you can. Counterpoint to you being bummed about your friends lack of response to your business accomplishments. - Your friends likely care about you, but they might be oversaturated with your personality now being 99% wrapped up in your business. If your close friends are working corporate jobs, they’re not posting on Instagram things like “my boss is grinding me up and I’ve responded to 100 client emails today, yay!” Human nature is such that most are focused primarily on their own lives. Friendships can go through changes over the years, maybe cut them some slack, support them and they’ll come around. And wishing you continued business success.

Check ADP, Paychex, etc for cost of their services. Most have call in payroll service.
