   Tough Balancing Act
I think in all ventures that are growing quickly, the founder is under a lot of stress to balance day-to-day operational things with more long-term pursuits.

For example, I usually wake up early in the morning, post on news, edit/approve articles/quizzes/reviews, and then get on with my day. Then, during the evening I'll work on all the long-term things, like Art of Otaku, myOtaku 3.0, marketing, and so on.

It's a tough balancing act. I could be much more effective if I just focused on long-term things. My specialty is on creating, not really maintaining. However, it's hard to let go.

Thankfully, I have a great mod team who takes care of that aspect and Gail does a great job of approving fan works.

But I still can't help but think that I need to find a successor to do all our operational functions. The person would have to be an A+ writer, willing to work daily, keen knowledge of HTML/maybe databases, and an unrivaled knowledge of the anime industry.

Hm...maybe I should start looking.
