How do you get top employees in a rural community?

I am in a rural community 7 hours from majour cities or 3.5 from a decent size city. I am struggling to keep my doors open with a single refrigeration mechanic with very poor health that can only work 10 hours a week. What do I do to prevent closing my company down?

    Do you have enough demand to keep a full timer busy? 10 hours a week is not feasible for any business.

      Yes. I turn down work daily because I don't have the mechanical help to do it. I don't pursue commercial contracts because of the unreliability of my team.
