Is hiring employees worth it for a small home service business?
Any advice for someone scared to take the lead and hire another employee?

Honestly, I was scared to hire my first guy too. The biggest mistake I see is hiring too early. Make sure you're actually turning down work before you bring someone on.
When you do hire, take your time picking the right person. Attitude is more important than experience. I'd rather train a good guy with no experience than deal with a skilled guy with a bad attitude.
Start with one part-timer. Way less pressure that way.
