Expanding?

Well I'm in the throes of a very busy time of year right now for my business.

I'm quoting and getting more work than I have in a long time.

I've talked to several people about helping out as contractors, and I've finally pulled the trigger and sort-of hired someone as a part-time contractor. He is brand new to HTML, and he's only worked a few hours total, but he's already editing source code and created a whole bunch of new pages today. I have high hopes.

This is a big step for both he and I. We're both stepping out into new and somewhat uncomfortable territory, although it is exciting.

Meanwhile I'm ramping op for a bigger project that will involve hiring still other programmers as well as a designer.

I hope this helps me spend more time with my family. My fear is that I will get sucked in deeper to more hours.

Risk and reward, tempered by hope of establishing some balance in my life...
