I'll give you an example out of my young couzin. He scrubs windows frames for 20$ an hour on luxury homes here on Perot Island. He likes that because he gets to have big muscles in his arms and that impress the girls he hangs out with. It never occured to him to hire one of his many unemployed friends to help him and pay that guy 12$ per hour and do twice as many homes during the summer. You have no idea how many mid 40's women like to have early 20's young muscular guys doing things around their houses. Because he does a good job, he gets so many opportunities to get extra repeat business like, cutting grass, cleaning the pool, moving plants around, etc, and don't take up on it, it's crazy.
If I had this network of contacts with all these older ladies, I would milk them real good for all their needs, but he don't see any money in doing all this extra work. Too much trouble ! And I mean by doing honest work and getting paid, not some fishy gringo crap.
So, the moral of the story is, if you do something (whatever you do) and you are sucessful at it, don't be afraid to hire people to help you make more money and grow your business in new areas. You could always do it alone, but there is only so much you can do in 1 day, besides what is the point of making money if you don't have the joy/time of spending it on good things ?

Your point is simple, and anyone looking for growth would take that road. But the mess these folks have created is not good business. It's like hiring your cousin and he alienates everyone and goes out of his way to piss people off, etc. Eventually YOU (the "business owner") will have done more harm than good, and growth is the opposite you can expect. This is of course only my opinion of your analogy.
