I also have to hire assistants, programmers, designers, web hosting support staff (network admins), in addition to house cleaner, lawn boy, a person to plow the snow, etc..

The point being.... dealing with vetting quality people is a major hassle. You get better over time to some of the 'hot spots' in an interview to help weed out candidates. That being said, it is almost like a job to just interview people and test them to see if they can do the job as you need.

One of the hardest lessons to learn as a business owner is as follows. Most people's 100% work product/commitment/passion will barely equal your 50%. You simply have to learn to accept that and try and make it work to grow. You can't do it all as a one man show, and to scale you have to hire help. You just hope you get lucky and find a few good worker bees.
