Are you a control freak?
Lets be honest, if you run a web hosting site you run a business. Your business may or may not already have employees but I can assure you, you still hire people from payroll, taxes, design, marketing.
Are you ready?
Heres the question, are you a control freak?

I would like to think I'm not a control freak, just expect alot, LOL. I like things to be done a certain way. With my freelance, I am the business so I relay heavily on my reputation, not just online.

How many employees do you oversee?
I'm not so much a control freak. I ran a small operation for a little while, and everyone knew what to do and did it well. I never really needed to nit-pick at their work because they did a pretty solid job. So in that sense, wasn't a control freak.
But then again, there were things that only I did and I did because I wanted to do them my way. So in that sense, a total control freak.[ IncogNET LLC ] Privacy By Design [Liberty Lake, WA][Kansas City, MO][Allentown, PA][Naaldwijk, NL]

If it's not working the way I want it, then it's not working.

Very much of a control freak. I have anxiety disorder, so the slightest change that I didn't expect or the slightest thing getting out of hand causes extreme anxiety. I have medication for this, but have to be careful since the number of pills per day is limited, you can take maximum 4 (all working 2 - 3 hours) to avoid addiction. So there are situations where I have to abstain from taking medication and somehow make my way through an uncertain situation on own strength. When I am not in control of the situations that occur, I indeed panic. Since you cannot control other people, I find social situations extremely hard to handle.

I'm a control freak to the point that it holds me back. I've found myself delaying things that needed to be done relating to business because I had to do them myself.

Absolutely not. Organization freak maybe but control freak doesn't fit my spectrum. Now granted I do run into the occasional time where I have to redo someones work and then in the future I do important tasks that the individual would normally do. That or I fire the individual and do it myself till I find a replacement.
