Small Business Owners - Do you do everything yourself?

Tweet

I recently got laid off and I'm trying to figure out the feasibility of starting my own business. I'm a real type A personality and I would probably want to do everything myself because I think that if you want something done right, you have to do it yourself. This puts me at odds with the idea that great bosses hire people who are smarter than they are. For example, I wouldn't want to hire accountants because I wouldn't trust them and I would want to do my own accounting. And my own research and development. And my own design. Etc. But I know that one person can't do all that. So I reluctantly did some research on companies that provide help to small businesses for things like accounting, or getting a business phone line, etc ( http://www.barrelofcrafts.com/ ). It seems like there are some sources out there to help you with that, but I really have a hard time letting go of control. Can any small business owners out there speak to this? Thanks.
