Time for a revised business plan. Growth before headcount is normally limited to capacity to perform the core function. Employees add headaches and can complicate a simple and elegant model. Be realistic - how big do you want to go and why? Sounds like you genuinely enjoy the work and although you may be unaware at this time, this simple point of enjoyment and sincerity is probably communicated to your clients non-verbally through the service and is a big part of your early success. A professional sales person has the skill to learn the enthusiasm and project it on command.
Marketing and lead generation/management is a more focused area than general sales. I'd look in that direction specifically rather than seminars and Zig Ziglar tapes.
My $.02.
