And that's about where we'll be in another month. Chesie, to answer you question, for me it was pretty simple. When I worked with the numbers, it became painfully obvious that unless I started turning over the manual labor to the guys, I would never reach the revenue goals I had for the company, and never hit the salary goals I had for myself. Never. Ever. So I either had to do it, or be satisfied knowing I'd never make much money, and my body would be wrecked in a few years (...it'll probably still be wrecked in a few years...)
Yeah, it did take a few years to get here, probably longer than some others who've done the same. But one of the biggest issues was finding a few good men to turn over control to. There've been lots of little issues on this path, too - compensation packages, me re-learning how to be a good manager, taking the time to do that, allowing time for someone to develop, all that stuff.
