Many specialized one man bands have the same problem no matter where they're located. Effort and time to train is considerable and candidate selection is an area that few people are very good at. It seems to me a technically oriented receptionist/janitor/office manager would probably be the best first step...Not an easy job to fill, but you may be surprised with the job experience of many older women getting back to work after the kid years. The idea being that she would free you up to actually produce paying work,(all businesses, no matter how small, require much time answering phones and e-mails, ordering supplies, filing, receivables...etc.) and if she shows the aptitude, start training her on the shop stuff. If that works out, hire another receptionist/janitor/office manager. I know it's not that easy but I think the first step should be eliminating YOUR wasted time. Good luck
