Managing your office and dividing the workload

[Karen Margrave]

Rebuilding our business after the crash we decided to do much of the work ourselves to keep costs down. I have experience in office administration of both real estate and construction offices, John does project management, bids, cost breakdowns, and bookkeeping. Michael does design, cost breakdowns, and some project management. 

However; in growing the business it's going to be time for us to begin hiring others soon for some of the tasks, (general office help and bookkeeping) and allow us to do the things that are harder to hire others to do (finding land, figuring out future projects, finding financing, etc.)

I'm always curious how to others manage their businesses.  How do you manage yours? 

How many people are on your team, how do you spread the workload, etc.? 

What parts of your business do you hate doing, and cause you the biggest headaches?
