I'm not sure whether I ever hit submit when you were talking about hiring someone a few weeks ago, but anyway I wrote something to the effect that someone like yourself might know in your head you need a right-hand man, but you may well not be able to relinquish enough control to let him do his job.
Similarly, if you hand off any of your core tasks to third parties, you are likely to get very stressed over what you will surely perceive are results that you could have bettered. BTW I also think that if you do outsource sales, you really can say goodbye to a lot of your business: few if any brokers have the reputation or the profile that you achieved and at best you will be their #2 priority.
If you don't have it in you to really delegate enough control to leave yourself with a manageable workload, I believe you only have two options: return to your roots, taking on only tasks you can handle and about which you have a high level of confidence, or else sell your business. You come across as someone who sees success as validation of your work, but that challenge is what you enjoy most. If I am right, cruising along at the helm of a successful business is really not what you are cut out for and you would get much more out of a brand new challenge.
