Have you considered an apprenticeship? I'm sure it isn't ideal for someone who seems to have a lot of drive and probably is use to handling every detail. But, if you can get a recent grad or promising young family-member/friend to join you, there may be ways to adapt. You could step back and focus on clientele and the big picture in addition to fostering someone else.
