Anyone who is into your project can be a boon to you. The challenge is up to you to figure out what s/he can offer. Even if it's just beta-testing, even if it's just someone to bounce ideas off of, even if it's just talking the business up to their friends, everybody has something to offer.
Secondly, imagine you're talking about someone who is willing to learn programming, with your help. Even someone to just do HTML wireframes. If you spend 20 hours teaching them and over the course of several months they then independently do work that would have taken you 35 hours - that's still a net gain for you.
Part of being a boss is figuring out what other people's skills are and how you can fit them into your team. If they're enthusiastic about what you're doing, you're far, far ahead of Cubicle Corp which has to bribe people into working for them.
