I work as a sole founder with little work outsourced and an employee to help with chores. My technical background coupled with marketing exposure I am able to enjoy awesome profit margins in my eLearning business. I now plan to expand my offerings and hence team but have no clue where to start. I don't want a co-founder as such. Right from the smallest of technicalities like giving control of my domains, server, sites to employees scares me. Then whom should I hire first, a core employee or a HR person? I have never dealt with such stuff and no clue how to proceed. How do small companies deals with such issues? Is there any exhaustive resource/course/book/video/case-study which lays down a process to take a 1 man company to a 'n' person organization? Sorry for my naivety. Would love to get answers from the super awesome HN community.

I started a one man start-up in 2010 with full enthusiasm, worked hard on it, and was able to reap good rewards for myself in the form of active as well as "passive income", work satisfaction, money. Some personal and family issues crept up around 2012 and since then I have lost all enthusiasm, work has suffered, in turn my earnings have suffered drastically. Several times I tried motivating myself, it lasts for 15-20 days and then I would go back to staring at a blank screen. I had tried taking long breaks but nothing seems to work. I know if I do hard work, I can reap some good benefits but this cycle just doesn't seem to end. Has anyone here in a similar situation before? Any advice for me? [PS: I have a person at my office for support and at times I do hire people online for various tasks.]
