What ever happened to partnerships? If the employee is good and the threat is there that he could leave and become competitive, why not seal him up with a partnership on something? Get something going on the side with him. Let him manage things on the partnership under your supervision, and get keep him making you money? If he does well for you, well you've made some more money off him. If he fails, he learns a lesson in humility and he can go back to his old job beaten down for a while again.

For the longest time I never heard of anyone doing joint ventures with one another in online marketing, not until I started learning more about promoting mainstream stuff and met some better mainstream webmasters. People get together on projects in mainstream all the time. I know a few people working on both sides of these types of arrangements, with happy people on both sides.
