In fact, they're so good, I want to answer them in more detail in an upcoming column here, rather than in the comments...so stay tuned. @ Karen – Wow, awesome questions.

A: Finding people to trust enough to plant the seed of your vision and let them run with it." Can you expand on this? Do you have a staff that you can give new projects to? How do you find people you trust and can run "with it". Do you find people on sites like Craigslist or elance or do you run with the project by yourself until it has some kind of profit/legs to be able to hire a staff? How do you identify people that are enough like yourself to run with your ideas, or are there other qualities you use to pick people to help you grow your projects? I guess the real heart of my questions is how do you find the best people to raise your new "baby" even when you can't afford to hire the best since your "baby" isn't profitable at the start? Thanks for your continuously thought provoking writing... Karen Hello Jonathan,

In the interview you were asked and answered:

“Q: What is the most difficult part in working on multiple businesses at the same time?
A: Finding people to trust enough to plant the seed of your vision and let them run with it.”

Can you expand on this? Do you have a staff that you can give new projects to? How do you find people you trust and can run “with it”. Do you find people on sites like Craigslist or elance or do you run with the project by yourself until it has some kind of profit/legs to be able to hire a staff? How do you identify people that are enough like yourself to run with your ideas, or are there other qualities you use to pick people to help you grow your projects? I guess the real heart of my questions is how do you find the best people to raise your new “baby” even when you can’t afford to hire the best since your “baby” isn’t profitable at the start?
Thanks for your continuously thought provoking writing…
Karen
