JohnK, I think you are right as well as JW. I think the first part of managing is to understand yourself and both the opportunities and limitations that go with it. It is when one type of person models his business in a way that requires a different skill set than he has that things don't go well.

You see it both ways. The go getter guys who don't take the time to learn good practices take on meticulous work and treat it like a mow, blow, and go. Then you get the meticulous guys bidding on commercial work and getting roped into doing way more work for the money than is required. It is not as easy as hiring your way to success.
