Looks like your genius is in pickups. Hire a business genius to help work out the details of your business. That will leave more time for you to do what you love the most. No sence wasting your time on what is frustrating. Hire other people to take care of headaches. I'm sure you made some connections at NAMM, maybe some possible employees? Finding good employees is indeed a challenge. A lot of web businesses use non-local employees to get more choices for critical positions.

Leave a legacy. If you hire employees this will be possible. As you age you may find it harder to keep up your current pace. That is where you will need to depend on other employees. Jim Marshall is old, but Marshall amps are still being made.

You know how gas stations sell more than gas? Expand your business to help pay for more employees. I really like the sound clips on your web site/ would buy songs mp3's of the same. Work out some deals with your clientelle to sell/promote their music.

Quantify your pickup styles as much as you can. All of the conversations/emails you have engaged in are experiences that will allow you to use language to help narrow this down, so another employee (the right one anyway) could do the bulk of communicating.
