Mandy, first of all...you know how big a fan I am of yours! Second...it is hard for us entrepreneurs to admit the areas we see we need to grow. Also as entrepreneurs running our own show, we sometimes have a hard time with "confrontation" because we are scared of potential, un-pleasant outcomes. Given those statements, you articulate something that we as self-employed entrepreneurs struggle with daily: setting boundaries for our personal and professional life, and releasing some of our prized possessions...our business. This has really made me think more as I begin to explore this same path of bringing in some outside help. I would like to hear how you have managed allowing a contractor work in your home office. Allowing this person to come into a private space to work. Keep up the good writing and critical thinking! LOVE IT! ~BR
