    If you really needed help you could hire someone who’s willing to learn, pay them decently, then once you feel they’ve learned enough ask them if they’d like to be a partner. That seems fair to me personally since you’re giving them a free education.

        Sort of, this is pretty much how it’s done in the trades except for the becoming a partner part. That part is replaced by starting your own business and becoming a small business tyrant in our timeline.
