I think this discussion has gone in just about the direction I expected it to go. Thanks for all the replies so far.
That pretty much sums up my feelings on the matter. The problem comes in the form of me not being able to participate in the day-to-day running of the business from next year onward. My partner is a little less assertive and I think might be a little overwhelmed by what could turn into a power group, so to speak.
While both employees are talented, I wouldn't want my current team to feel like control of the business they've worked so hard on developing has been so easily transferred to two new guys. This is a real threat only because A: it's a small team and B: we work in a creative field where the two new employees will play a pretty important part in each job.

I'm actually a huge fan of Rand Fishkin's management style together with his hiring policy and company culture. These are embodied in what SEOMoz calls the TAGFEE Tenets - very interesting for those of you who are interested in that sort of management style. Rand is possibly the most respected SEO guy in the world at the moment. He gets my respect not only for his inbound marketing talents, but for his management style and what is actually a fantastic grassroots story of his rise to success.Originally Posted by Hermes14
